Soatanana (Madagascar) - Sous un angle différent, il s'agit de la même scène que la photo précédente de la procession des femmes de l'Eglise des Bergers blancs, revenant de l'office.
Ici, c'est la femme au premier plan, en bas du cadre gauche, qui donne du relief et de l'intérêt à cette photo de foule bien ordonnée.
Soatanana (Madagascar) - Same scene of the procession of the women of the Church of the White Shepherds, who are returning from the office, from a different angle.
En attendant le bus qui doit nous amener de Vientiane à Nakasong pour aller sur les 4000 Îles, nous avons la bonne surprise de voir la processions matinale des moines
As much as I love cities, towns, and small settlements dotted all around the world, I do very much enjoy delving into nature. My eye is just not as keen in photographing nature’s beauty compared to the architectural workmanship of human beings.
I have an affinity for oceans, particularly the Pacific. Seattle is situated in such a unique location that one can be in a completely different landscape, foreign to the urban conglomerate, within an hour’s drive in any direction.
Personally, when I need to escape (and Vancouver is not beckoning me tenaciously, which does happen on occasion), I head to the Pacific.
After 2.5 hours of driving through scenic valleys and quaint, little towns, I arrive at the sandy edges of the country’s coastline. I remove my shoes and socks, and make sure my bare feet make contact with the ocean for a few moments. It’s a redeeming sensation.
On this particular trip, as I returned to my car, I witnessed this peaceful procession of horseback riders following themselves along the coast as the sun began its descent for the day. I hadn’t anticipated this encounter, but I thought it made an idyllic conclusion to my temporary respite.

Evening was fast approaching as this trio made their way back to the mainland from their day grazing in the river.
I was looking back at the archive of shots i'd taken last year, taking stock of the journey if that's the right word. I watched my shift into black and white and long exposure images.
I came across this one www.flickr.com/photos/jeffvyse/4782509468/
Your ideas change as you learn and it's great to have RAW images you can return to and re-imagine. I don't know if this is better or just different but i'm happier with it.
Pictured here is a shinzō, who were the attendants of Yoshiwara courtesans in the Edo period. This woman was dressed up for the annual re-enactment of the Yoshiwara oiran procession.
Oiran were the highest rank of courtesan in the old Yoshiwara licensed pleasure quarter of Edo-Tokyo, after the rank of tayū disappeared. Taiyū were not just prostitutes, but used to also be highly trained in the arts. They were highly respected in Edo period society. Kyoto's version, from the Shimabara licensed quarter, were also called tayū and still exist there. Today, they are considered the pinnacle of beauty, grace and knowledge of traditional Japanese arts and culture. Today's Kyoto tayū are not classy prostitutes but 'super' geisha. It would be nice if Tokyo re-creates the oiran/tayū in the way that Kyoto's modern tayū exist.
The #torchlight #procession during #Hogmanay in #Edinburgh. This is a yearly #tradition on 30 december.
La piazza antistante la chiesa di S. Giacomo Apostolo, raccoglie la numerosa gente in processione per S. Ciro al ritorno del Santo in Chiesa. La gente segue numerosa la statua del Santo per le vie del paese, nonostante il freddo e l'ora come mostrano i due orologi posti l'uno suula facciata laterale della Chiesa e l'altro sul campanile.
La processione del venerdì santo entra nel quartiere di Castello varcando la Porta dei Leoni.
