Enjoy is perhaps not the word ;-) Your images show the "calamity" in great
detail and do not really need much "prose" congratulations. The beautiful
colour is the only thing "out of sorts". Now this is only my opinion (as I
know you realize, but just to make that clear) but I'd like to see some
de-saturation, so the images had a more down and dirty look to them. i'm
not saying that they have to be b/w but the starling colour bright
sunshine etc give the images a sense of "festival".

Now ducking for cover, because I know how much work you will have put in
to have suck a comprehensive coverage.
