Sweet Thing

...and now for something completely different...
Pop the kettle on and have a five minute sit-down with a cuppa and watch this sweet thing.

Behind The Light
by Liberty Smith
Documentary 
Running time: 6 mins 21 secs
Year: 2011
From Shooting People's 'Film of the Month'

Australian musician, songwriter, author, screenwriter, and occasional film actor, Nick Cave, comments: "Behind the Light, about the lighthouse keepers, sad and elegaic, spoke strongly of those who fall through the fault-lines of progress. I was very moved by this film and think it deserves to win Film of the Month"

...more doors...
Gold, silver, wood, plaster, flowers, candles - the tronos - and the sinners preparing to carry them for hours through the streets, on the thursday of Corpus Cristi.

Their necks will be bleeding after a few hours.



Staggering under the weight.
Pine and rosemary cover the streets.

Most of these photographs were grabbed unplanned - fresh, quick, simple observations. 

Taken free and fast, with 100% absolutely no tweaking in Photoshop whatsoever. No time for that right now. Or indeed any inclination. As usual.

Bars frenetic, businessmen late, doors open into cool courtyards, gardens water-tiled. Music. Catholic colours and candles. Calm layered with Energy. Night heat in the streets. Beautiful.
