Here are some shots from yesterday's desfile or parade of delegations from all of Oaxaca's regions.
After a very late afternoon rain, the sun came out and well, you can see how wonderful things looked.
I got there early to shoot the arrivals and setups and it was a good thing I did because by the time the parade started the place was incredibly crowded.... and joyous.
I always go to the park where the whole thing begins because it used to be calmer and easier to shoot. Forget that for this year, it was absolutely wall-to-wall people. I can only imagine what it was like down Alcala and into the zocalo where it really gets crowded.
I wasn't the only watching the groups assemble.
Now there's a face.
¡Viva musicos!
A fair number of turkeys were being carried in the parade.
And of course, absolutely stunning oaxaqueñas.
So many wonderful faces and outfits!! And the whole thing happens again next Saturday! I have hundreds of shots to go through and video as well, but I have to be quick here as I am off to the Feria de Hongos (mushrooms) in Cuajimaloyas up in the mountains. More in a bit...
