"Sawdust Painting"

One Sunday morning it was a festival day at the local Catholic church. Starting about 4:30 AM men started gathering in the street right outside our apartment. They started with firecrackers and songs and proceeded to spend the next many hours creating a painting of sawdust. It reminded me of Native American sand paintings. It had scriptures and religious symbols. It was a lot of work and actually looked pretty good. That night there was a short rain and that was the end of all the hours of work.
