fot. FioDecember 4 th - St. Barbara's Day (Barbórka).
One of the most celebrated days in Upper Silesia, where Gliwice is located.
St. Barbara is a patron of coal miners.
Here you are the miners' brass orchestra before a concert. Miners are dressed in the special uniforms consisting of black suit and hat with a feather. The color of the feather depends on the rank of the miner. As you see, the red colour is reserved for musicians :)

The red feathers make this photo look really cool!
I love those feathers! What other colors are there? I also like the coats — they're not necessary here I don't ever see any. Was the band any good? ;)
The February 2009 theme poll is up! Please vote if you haven't already :)
Oh, thank You. I'll take a look at propositions :)
So... green feathers-supervision staff member, white-foreman, black - regular miner, red - miners's orchestra member = cool ;D
