Carnival is near...

 The local Candombe group, "La Gozadera", has started rehearsing. They do it at dusk, when the worst heat is gone. 

Sometimes, when I hear the drums, I zoom to their street with one of my old cameras and try to capture the action. Too often I botch something; this time it was lack of attention while developing film. 

GIMP to the rescue. 

 

 

Now it looks like a watercolor, one which I would never be able to paint.  

 

 Thanks for viewing and a most Happy New Year!
