as always, wonderful pictures sidney. i find the people shots most interesting, though the pictures of the santos bring back childhood memories when we used to attend the la naval processions (mostly against our wishes) :D
Looks like the parade didn't happen during a hot sunny day. Good. Otherwise, those guys in red will be feeling too uncomfortable in their thick uniform.
strange to see .. redcoats ..

Entre ordre et désordre
Yeux qui interrogent
Visages qui se donnent à voir

Those men look so regal in their red uniform.
I feel sorry for that lady squatting. She looks as if she wasn't feeling well at that time.

The boy looked really cute in the last photo. I loved how you successfully captured his 'cheeky' expression!

Beautiful shots as usual! I wonder how much they spent for the costumes alone!
