Semana Santa - Easter - in Seville, Spain

This is a gallery of the photos that I like best from the comprehensive gallery already posted in our Spanish section.

PLEASE NOTE that that the men in hoods are NOT Klu Klux Klan. They are wearing traditional religious dress. Speaking of traditional dress, have a look at boy eating potato chips!

Easter week in Seville, Spain, is full of atmosphere and emotion. These are difficult to capture in a photograph. For a more comprehensive description and more photos go to: https://pbase.com/ralphandkylie/semana_santa

Beware: many of the photos contain detail that's not seen in the thumbnails.

Please comment on photos and vote if you like them.

i like the effects you got from using the slow shutter speed + flash. it makes the fotos much more "alive"...
