correfocs



burst    car detail
Pictured is a traditional Catalan bursting correfoc  (literally "fire-runs") a striking feature of local festivals. This one is the fire dragon of our suburb, setting  off  fireworks among crowds of spectators. There are no cars to be seen as they are supposed to park far away for safety reasons, therefore no car detail (this is a stretch, I know, I had a difficult time trying to combine this week's themes)
