The weather was gorgeous both days, which meant that from a photography point of view it was awful. Bright sunshine at mid-day means harsh shadows, unflattering harsh light on people's faces and so on. So please bear with any technical imperfections you may find. The point of the gallery is to illustrate how Easter is celebrated in Spain. Very impressive, even to a non- Christian like me. I have included some explanations in the captions, more than I normally do: http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/7902050_rUG9L#512506083_qRnfh Hi Nathan, Wonderful coverage as usual. What I do find interesting is the street lined with the chairs. Try to imagine this happening in North America. anywhere. Here it's . "if you want to sit bring yer own chair!" I realize this is a very special occasion, however who supplied the chairs? Not that it really matters, I just think its wonderful the locals are so organized they put chairs out for spectators. Wonderful concept and courtesy! ted
