so, last thursday i spent part of my evening at zozobra. in santa fe, to commence 'la fiesta,' people gather at fort marcy park to listen to music and burn zozobra. zozobra, or 'old man gloom' is a 50 foot tall articulated puppet that moves slightly and (with the technological wonders of a microphone and sound system) groans while being lit.
i'd heard about the festival last year, but i knew i wouldn't be in town long enough for it, so i was really excited to see it this year. no one told me there was going to be fireworks, so i was even more impressed. so, aside from the slight creepiness of watching a very large human form twist and groan while aflame, it was a great time!
the first shot is zozobra with some nice fireworks, and the second is him on FIRE!
