From all the amazing shots in our Flickr group last month, your vote went to Fred Shively’s “A town called LanjaroÌn 4: an early escalator“:
You can see more of Fred’s photos over at Flickr. I’d like to add another winner, Steve, with his amazing photo “Fiesta in Gracia“:
It was taken at a local fiesta in Gracia, a neighbourhood in Barcelona, complete with political speeches in favour of the okupas, drummers, 2 dragons, and a group of people firing antique muskets into the air! Steve commented, “I’ve no idea if it’s an Easter thing or not. It seemed very pagan with the devil costumes and dragons.” It seems the pagan and the Christian are often closely mixed in Spain… You can see more of Steve’s photos on Flickr, and at his daily photo blog, bcncamara.blogspot.com
