Most of the photos for the 3rd week of June were taken during a walk in the 
centre of Alicante to look at the large statues called Hogueras, that are 
put up in preparation for the midsummer celebration on June 24th, when they 
are burned at midnight. There is something uniquely Spanish (and strange) 
about investing all this effort into mounting quite impressive 
installations, just to burn them a few days later. Of course, as with every 
walk in the city, there is a generous sprinkling of people pictures too, 
along with an interesting Civil War episode at the end of the walk. There 
are also landscapes and grapes seen while cycling, and lovely Eri makes an 
appearance too.

It is all here:

And as always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
