  1. Your galleries are absolutely amazing, Geoff! So is your productivity. There are a ton of great shots there. I also spotted one of you posing with 6 beautiful female performers. Well done.

    1. Although there are lots of people the town is small. The dancers parade along the narrow streets so you are never more than a few yards away.

  3. Bravo Geoff! Beautiful images and a wonderful story, as well. (Your post was loading so slowly, I took a look at your formatting and changed the size of the splash image - it shouldn't ever be original size - and changed your link to open in a new window. That has helped some, but it I'm not sure why it still loads so slowly)
