Chinese name: 福特嘉年华 (fútè jiāniánhuá)
Year of launch: 2003
The fourth generation Ford Fiesta reached the Chinese market even after it was replaced by the new generation in Europe. It was produced by the Changan Ford joint venture and competed with the Buick Sail/Chevrolet Sail, Honda Fit Aria/City, FAW Vela/Toyota Vios and the likes. Sales were poor though. The Fiesta sedan was initially designed for India, where it was sold as Ford Ikon.

Despega cientos de bombas aerostáticos en este festival annual en octubre. Los globos vienen de varias partes del mundo. Todos los globos despegaron, en various grupos, llenado el cielo con muchos colores.
the size and scale of the balloon fiesta is hard to capture... on it's opening day they set the world's record by launching 345 balloons in a single hour. More than 550 balloons in total were registered to fly during this year's fiesta.
Not all Fiestas are Fords. Oldsmobile also labelled one of their cars as a Fiesta, this convertible being a 1953 model. Its styling echoes that of the contemporary Cadillac Eldorado, albeit in scaled-down form. This convertible is a rare car, one of just 50 survivors out of 458 produced.
Seen locally, not one I've noticed before. There's an interesting G-reg Nova in the next village along that I need to get a photo of one day.

They did not launch on the first day due to fog blocking the visibility of the pilots. However, this allowed visitors to walk and see the hot air balloons on land.

Posted for Halloween and "The Day of the Dead".

Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a holiday celebrated by many in Mexico and by some Mexican Americans living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. The celebration occurs on November 2 in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. Due to occurring shortly after Halloween, the Day of the Dead is sometimes thought to be a similar holiday, although the two actually have little in common. The Day of the Dead is a time of celebration, where partying and eating is common.
Scholars trace the origins of the modern holiday to indigenous observances dating back thousands of years and to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl. In Brazil, Dia de Finados is a public holiday that many Brazilians celebrate by visiting cemeteries and churches. In Spain, there are festivals and parades, and, at the end of the day, people gather at cemeteries and pray for their dead loved ones. Similar observances occur elsewhere in Europe, and similarly themed celebrations appear in many Asian and African cultures.

Fiesta Flower. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A high key rendition of a blue fiesta flower, Pholistoma auritum.
This photograph comes from one of my spring wildflower rambles at a nearby park, a place I visit every year to celebrate the start of the season. It isn’t a national park. It is not a famous place. It isn’t even a well-known place in a little-known local park — but it is mine! Here the trail passes through a small, narrow valley where there is space for flowers that prefer the sun and those that thrive in shade.
I decided to interpret this subject a bit more liberally than sometimes, going for a high-key rendition. The question of what it means to interpret a subject via a photograph leads in all sorts of interesting and complicated places that I cannot possibly address in this paragraph. Suffice it to say that while photography carries the burden of the presumption of realism, photographs are anything but “reality,” and the question of whether or how to interpret what the camera captures has many possible answers.
