I noticed this little girl hiding behind people's legs in this crowd at the annual Krampus parade.Every Christmas, in Tyrol region, masked men as a Krampuses (a mythical figure—half goat, half demon—who beats people into being nice and not naughty) make performance . I had just a few seconds to grab my camera and shoot. She was a little scared, but at the same time, she was messing with the walking Krampus men during their annual parade. She looked like she was from a movie! Her grimaces, her ginger plaits, her freckles, and her perfect matching green hat reminded me of Pippi Longstocking.
