Something a little different from normal - during a long weekend in Spain, I was lucky enough to be there for the @carnavaldeaguilas - I had an old camera with me, only one battery and a small memory card, but I got some nice shots of the awesome performers and dancers who were there to do their thing. The festival is absolutely amazing to see, if you're ever in Spain this time of the year, I'd recommend a visit - the whole town dresses up in fancy dress and had a real big night of it.

If you'd like to see more - pictures are available on my website here:
