Merci Jacques, bonne année à toi et ta famille, voyager à 6 cela nécessite (restant au Canada), la location d'un autocar entier, l'embauche d'un nounou et la mobilisation d'un guide etc, etc. Pour aller en europe: Il faut presque penser à organiser "un charter flight" et négocier une réduction à l'agence de voyage en tant que bon client :-)

J'ai des amis en France, et c'est sûrement une des destinations que j'aimerais visité dans un avenir pas trop lointain... Mais il demeure que voyager en Europe à 6 c'est assez dispendieux :)

Hi Paul! Very interesting the about. Beautiful shot so well taken indeed.
St. Lucia is the patron saint of my city where she was born. The main celebration occurs on the 13th of December and in May. In spring is called "Santa Lucia delle Quaglie".
Of course in Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Norway and Finland, Lucy she is venerated on December 13 in a ceremony where a girl is elected to portray Lucia.
On December 20 we called "The Eighth" the simulacrum of St. Lucia return in Cathedral and there is also in procession from Sveden the girl who is winner of the national contest togheter at two damsels.
Happy Holidays! Tommaso

Nice shot and exceptional about Paul. Santa Luzia how we call in Brazil is the patron saint of the city where I live now, so dec 13 is city day off. I'm gonna take some pics of the procession next year. Best wishes, Judson.

Thank you John. The hand down and the hand up. These hands make the destiny of both these two lovely girls. What I meant to express is that the left hand is an encouraging hand for the winner and the right hand a protecting hand for the looser of the Sainta Lucia Contest. It was in a very short instant I saw this all together, but was most impressive was listening to their great singing performance, which I could have enjoyed with closed eyes and without camera at all. All the best, Paul

A great candid capture, and I like the hand down there, that adds to the image, clear shot, good lighting and so quality for a stage shot that always makes problems (at least for me hehehe) be well Paul!

Thank you Erland, the girls were singing sweetly as well and I could capture this as well in a video clip with my D90. Rather unusual for a DSLR camera, best regards, Paul

Merci beaucoup Nicki, j'espère que tu as déjà pu terminer ta lecture de cette longue histoire :-) Pas de neige ici cette semaine, que de la pluie. Si toujours pas à Noel...peut-être en mer Barentz :-) Tout une voyage, mais la froide garantie. Une bonne soirée à toi et bonne nuit, XXX, Paul

Yeh Harry, these electrical lights were introduced as too many accidents happened in the past with real candles. Take care yourself as well, don't repeat this as a circus act :-) best regards, Paul
