Procession Votive - the King

Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved.

What I love about this Procession is that the players - all villagers - take their parts very seriously. No one fools around.

Here we see King Herod or is it Caesar?

    Your pictures are always good but I think this is one of the best yet! The facial expressions and the colours - stunning! PS. I think it is Caesar I imagine Herod to be older

    What a beautiful series of photos. In addition to the wonderful subjects your colors are so bright and sharp. I'm using a new monitor and it makes me appreciate the lovely photos.
