Thank you Philippe!

These kind of pictures are usually in color because at the same time, or better said, the main reason is take photographs of my grandchildren, normally I keep these one on my family albums, but this year I’ve realized I never shared them with my LUG friends….. 

Amitiés

>> I’ve been some days in Sitges where it was the “Festa Major” (The popular Yearly City Festival), in Spain it is traditional celebrate this Fiesta with Giants and “Caps Grossos” (Big Heads), mainly in Catalonia where additionaly there are the “correfocs”, literal translation would be “Running Fires”, people is dressed as demons with fires, I assist to these Fiestas at least from 1970 and never has been an accident, here I have selected 19 pictures, I hope you enjoy them. You can see them indivdually or pas to the follow with the arrow.
