Loose branches, old roots and all the burning stuff that could be found forms the big pile of wood that remains the whole day carnival day in a small plateau, overlooking the church and the houses of the small village, as well as the rolling hills nearby. Not sure if it’s on purpose or a coincidence…  It’s at the place where all will come to an end, meant to be lit around dusk, as soon as the chaotic procession of masked men arrives.        Vila Boa, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal  🇵🇹, March 2019 #portugal #trasosmontes #entrudo #shrovetide   photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/image/I00…
