The 39th Annual Andong Mask Festival began yesterday in Andong, Korea. I took this shot at the opening ceremonies.

Comments, stumbles, tweets, etc. are much appreciated.
Masks freak me out especially clown ones, I would have to give this festival a miss.

Dina, sometimes at the performances they’ll get audience members up to dance. They don’t usually wear the masks though. You can make your own mask if you want. I think they change about $10.00.

Hi Dina, The audience doesn’t usually get to wear the masks. However, the dancers like to get the audience members up dancing, especially the foreigners!
