PhotoFeed Contest - Black & White Photography Round 154: Crowd [ENG/ESP]
“The trouble is not really in being alone, it's being lonely. One can be lonely in the midst of a crowd, don't you think?”
Christine Feehan
Crowd
During the procession of the Holy Image of the Divine Shepherdess every January 14, not only are the streets and avenues along the route filled with a large crowd of people, but other streets and places in the surrounding area, and even at a certain distance, witness the flow of parishioners who attend the event that day.
After watching the Virgin pass by a few meters from where I had waited for about an hour and a half, I went to my apartment to have lunch and rest, as for health reasons I had not planned to accompany the procession to its destination at the Cathedral.
To shorten my way home, I entered a shopping mall, which was crowded with people, many looking for a place to rest comfortably in the aisles, while others attended the food fair seeking to satisfy their hunger.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Multitud
Durante la procesión de la Sagrada imagen de la Divina Pastora cada 14 de Enero, no solo las calles y avenidas por las que transcurre el recorrido, se llenan de una gran multitud de personas, también otras calles y lugares ubicados en los alrededores, e incluso a cierta distancia, son testigos del flujo de feligreses que ese día acuden al evento.
Luego de presenciar el paso de la Virgen a pocos metros de donde había esperado por alrededor de hora y media, me dirigí a mi apartamento para almorzar y descansar, ya que por razones de salud no tenía previsto acompañar la procesión hasta su destino en la Catedral.
Para acortar camino en mi regreso a casa, entré a un centro comercial, el cual se encontraba repleto de personas, muchos buscando un lugar para descansar cómodamente en los pasillos, mientras otros asistían a la feria de comida buscando saciar el hambre de sus estómagos.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
