Paper botafumeiro

Sometimes a light surprises, and this pic of the botafumeiro and a mobile phone seemed to sum up the spectacle. I love the bright glow of the screen of the phone, such a contrast to the antique kind of light and colour that is everywhere else. Thus a neon felt tip pen had to be used for this rather than some combination involving Hooker's green or whatever. Then there's a bit of genuyne 23.5 carat gold leaf on the botafumeiro. The paper camino attempt is a design 'based on', rather than being an exact representation, of course. A bit of artistic licence (that's my excuse anyway). Like gun licences, perhaps these should only be given out to well-vetted individuals.

PS A friend sees an angel in the paper one.....
