These beautiful sand paintings, tapetes de arena (carpets of sand) had a short life in the Plaza de la Danza. I've seen lots of them over the years. They are sometimes huge, often are filled with images associated with Muertos, but this year, they were much smaller and all religious in nature.
I caught them with a brilliant sun overhead the afternoon before they were swept up. They are full of sparkles.
They are quite beautiful, detailed work and more examples of how so many things here are artistic in nature.
I used a little Photoshop magic to put them in perspective, as they might appear from above.
So much work and yet they were only there for a couple of days, swept away, temporary, as are all things.
