oh, those kids playing around with melted candle wax really brings back memories. we used to do the same thing to pass away the idle time while waiting for the procession to conclude, that is, if we have candles intact for we often lose or break them in pieces :) thanks for sharing these sidney
Great photos. The ice-cream vendor brought back memories of my childhood days. I remember how my mom would buy me an ice-cream or cotton candy after mass.
The same paper lanterns than in ours processions in Lourdes. The same brightness in the eyes of the children!

Very nice series. I love the candid of the girl at the very bottom, she goes well with the shots at the bottom of your previous post.

La première et la dernière se répondent, immanquablement : de l'amour, de la douceur, beaucoup de tendresse
