San Isidro

05.15.11 - Madrid, Spain - Eunice and I went into Madrid on Sunday to check out the goings on for the San Isidro Festival. It was the last day of a weeklong celebration of the capital city's patron saint. Among the variety of cultural events, we went down to Lavapíes in the afternoon to see some circus-type street performances, then to the Plaza de España for a free concert and hopped over to the Manzanares River to see a fire display as the sun set.

People were out and about everywhere in traditional outfits (long colorful dresses for women and gray caps and vests for men) and it was a good time.

Fire!
People watching the fire display be lit. It was a collection of floating metal sculptures, with hundreds of attached "citronella" candles that the company lit. Not a huge display, but cool nonetheless.

Smoke Through at 100 Cambridge St Downtown

06.29.09 - Boston, Mass. - Smoke on the 6th story at 100 Cambridge St at Government Center brought out several fire trucks, ladders, cops, on-lookers and photographers. Not much here, no injuries and no damage, but some interesting photos with a 300mm from the ground.

Fire inside the block

04.19.09 - Boston, Mass. - A house fire in East Boston was complicated because the house was inside the block, so firefighters had to walk the hoses back and hope none of the other buildings caught on fire. Lucky for me, a kind soul walked up and asked me if I wanted to go on his roof to shoot. 

Fun photos.
