Street fireworks, Spain
During Summer religious festivities in Spain it's not unusual to see this sort of scene.
Fireworks on short poles are lit and flames and burning projectiles are shot in all directions. All this in the streets crowded by thousands of people!
Some people dress up, such as the man on the right who looks like a devilish figure. Others make sure to wear old clothes (which may well get burn marks) and hats to protect their eyes.
For foreigners it's a spectacular and unforgettable sight.
I didn't realise when I took the picture that a burning ember was falling right in front of the girl's face, but by good luck it illuminated her perfectly!
The photo was taken in Sitges a few miles South-West of Barcelona.
