A Most Curious Mourning
Most people are familiar with the scenes of Semana Santa in the south of Spain, with their colors and singing and general joyfulness, but in other areas, such as these pictures from Avila, they offer something different, straight out of a dour medieval custom descended directly from the inquisition.

It’s just a fleeting thought …continue
Crusted Fluff
Only minerals. Crusted. Or maybe fluffly. All I can say is I found it interesting.
