Las Posadas - Los Angeles

[Seefutlung]

Last Week I hit the opening day of Las Posadas (The Inn) at Olvera Street in Los Angeles. (Olvera Street is the historic "First Street" of Los Angeles.)

Las Posadas is a Mexican reenactment of Joseph and Mary as they sought out shelter. Traditionally the reenactment is carried out all in song with participants and spectators all contributing to the reenactment. Posadas are carried out in Mexico for nine days from December 16 through December 24th.

My snaps are here:

Gary, I love the first one, great expression on the kid, it seems that she is proud of participating in such an event. I love the shadows and placement of the source of light... excellent street photo.

really nice images . the second one would be even better if it werent for the people's heads in the foreground , imo . but it looks pretty crowded so you did well to get it as is . i like the three different looks of the three shots . love the colors and lighting on the second one !
