[Leica] IMG: Semana Santa in Alicante

[Douglas Barry]

That's a fascinating slice of life, Nathan. The BW/colour mix worked well 
and you got some good eye contact too. We're in what used to be a very 
catholic country here in Ireland, but never had any processions like that 
over Easter, but then again Spain is dryer and warmer at this time of year!
