Thank you, MIKE, TEO, CHARLES, ANNELIES, DYOWI, SUE & RHONDA. I love the surrealness of these huge sculpturees being finished on the streets before the parade - it's almost as beautiful as the parade itself.

¡¡¡¡Extrañaba este tipo de foto!!!! Qué buenas las figuras como las de cerámica del Nordeste. Hay tomas casi mágicas, como la del ¿mago? violeta sobre un fondo con otros personajes con escaleras, muy gracioso. La chica con ropas comunes sentada en el carro, un hallazgo. Pura acción, ya con un aire de nostalgia...

LILIANA & MÁRCIO: Obrigado pelos comentários. Eu sabia que vocês teriam uma percepção mais apurada desse tipo de imagem.

ROBERT & DAVID: Thank you a lot. I'm always looking for the backstage, for what lies beneath the surface.

Wow! Huge figures compared with the people is especial. Great show. The legendary characters. Very interesting photos.

Sorry I took so long to view this! Of course, this is my kind of tabblo. I remember how great your behind the scenes Carnival tabblos were in the past.

The grand scale of the floats compared to the people is so fascinating. Explained so well in #6 and #12.

That last shot is perfection, Edu. With the graffiti as a backdrop, this is the most ineteesting composition!

Suas fotos de carnaval são arte pura. Vc consegue captar o espírito de cada escultura, das pessoas aquele stress de pré avenida. Adoro ver essa montagem na Presidente Vargas. O jacaré ficou demais. Saudações Salgueirenses! Explode coração na maior felicidade, é lindo meu Salgueiro, fantasiando, sacudindo essa cidade...

So immense in size as well as in colour. And your pictures are always so well arranged. I just love the horse feet, the man with the antilope skull and this massive crocodile.
