    This photo was taken in the neighbouring village where celebrations were fully underway. I love how the smoke from the barbeque stall and the light from the many torches hit the faces of these musicians as they danced through the crowd. by: natasha_davies Views[141] This shot was taken as we were walking to another village. At first glance it looked like a riot! But instead it was a procession of all ages with their torches walking towards the village bonfire. An incredible scene! by: natasha_davies Views[153] As the evening grew darker, the villagers began to light their own torches for the celebration. throwing pine dust at them to ignite the flames. by: natasha_davies Views[207] Not everybody enjoyed the music! I loved how this little boy stood right in front of the band mesmerised, but clearly finding the sound too much. A complete contrast to his elders! by: natasha_davies Views[160] Locals gathered late afternoon to watch the traditional band whilst the giant village torch was being prepped for burning. by: natasha_davies Views[134]
