NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST | Capturing the night | WEEK 19 | The summer solstice | ENG / ESP
The summer solstice is the day of transition between spring and summer. Traditionally on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands it is celebrated with a festival of ancestral origin in which the burning of negative things and the entrance of positive ones is staged. The event begins at midnight and lasts between one and two hours, depending on the place, during which time a large group of "demons" purify all the attendees with fireworks and firecrackers in a cathartic encounter.
In the pictures you can see the different phases of the event.
