Procession Votive - Careful now!

Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved

This is the final part of the procession before we leave the village and start the walk down to the Chapelle de la Pausa.

The golden effigy has to be carried through this medieval entrance to the village without damage. It is lowered and, as in the main photo, carried through with great care.

    I can just imagine the concentration and commitment to transporting the statue safely along this route. I love the way you capture it.
