travel stories, new years eve in Ecuador

Strange, nobody replied yet, still, it is a nice series. However, to me personally, I think there are too much pictures of puppets and not enough of people "friendly, laughing and having a good time". Still, TFS, like it.

Sometimes it takes only someone who gives a gentle push upwards to the previously unnoticed thread ;-)

I browsed through the OP's article. Like the user above, I'd have liked to see more people, how they celebrate, including what they do with these puppets (a couple of shots of the making of one would have been nice). But otherwise good use of selective focus / shallow DoF.
The most important thing though: Thanks for sharing it, cause now I know of a tradition I had never heard of before.

And you have some fantastic landscape images in that blog.
 
Nice reportage with photos.
Curious custom, that burning of dolls.
I bet it's quite lively.
 
Interesting tradition which like Andrea I didn't know. Good photos. I like the one with the two puppets on the bumper of that car!

Thanks guys, good points, I don't have any pictures of people making them, guess that will be something for the next year. I'll try to cover more of these "strange" traditions and share them here with you!
 
This sunday I'm doing a piece on Dia de los Inocentes, which loosely translates to Saint Fools day, to commemorate the day King Herodes killed all the children in Bethlehem.
