This morning I walked down to the zócalo to watch artists at work — it’s Noche de Rábanos (Night of the Radishes). This December 23 “only in Oaxaca” tradition has been a mainstay of the holiday season since 1897. I know, who would have thought radishes could elicit such creativity? But, they definitely do! Here is Adrián Antonio Flores Peña working on his piece, Quebrantahueso (bearded vulture).
More to come… I just have to weed through the 300+ other photos I took!
UPDATE: Adrián Antonio Flores Peña won first place in the “Free” (as opposed to “Traditional”) category.
