Alfombra Workers, Semana Santa - Antigua, Guatemala
© April 10 2009, Uncornered Market

This sawdust carpet (alfombra) was the most beautiful we saw on Good Friday (Viernes Santo) in the streets of Antigua, Guatemala.

Sad, in a way, that it lived such a short life - only a few hours until the procession walked over it and it got swept away. Such is the temporal beauty of Holy Week (Semana Santa) carpets.
