Maori Warrior at Port Aventura Amusement Park, Salou, Spain

Maori Warrior at Port Aventura Amusement Park, Salou, Spain [enlarge]

You know what maybe the tourist in last post was lucky after all. Maybe if you didn't dance dressed like that for the crowd you would receive severe punishment for such great dishonor and you would have to face this. The scary look and the menacing gestures of a maori warrior. Man, imagine landing on the beautiful island a long time ago and being approached by a group of such warriors performing the famous dance. Wow, now I know how it must feel before the rugby match.

Maori Girls Dancing With Guest in Port Aventura

Maori Girls Dancing With Guest in Port Aventura [enlarge]

This young man saved us all from being randomly chosen by these beautiful maori girls at Port Aventura Amusement Park in Salou, Spain. I mean, who hasn't dreamed of being on a desert island, surrounded by maori girls and all...but that doesn't mean you have to dress like a scarecrow for the joy of the crowd. Tourists!!!

Masks, The Mystery of Carnivals

Masks, The Mistery of Carnivals [enlarge]

This one has a halo of mystery and fantasy. I chose to leave it pretty dark to concentrate just on the masks. It is not carnival anymore but I forgot to post it when I had to. Never is too late for beauty though.

Narrow Alley

A narrow alley in the old part of town. I think it can be El Raval but I am not sure. As you see it was winter when I took this photograph.

Sausage Closeup

Sausage Closeup [enlarge]

This is just that, a closeup. A sausage so close you can feel the smell and you only have to stick out your fork and pick it up.
