Yellow wheels for John, a photo from Cadiz, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

Yesterday John showed us beautiful carriage with yellow wheels and fine white horses. Here the Spanish version of the similar event: the carriage in the street of Jerez da la Frontera.

The Jerez Horse Fair, known as the Feria del Caballo, is traditionally held during the first or second week in May. It is an exciting and lively event that brings the entire city to the González Hontoria fairground, which covers an area of 52,000 square meters, giving ample space for the finest horses of Jerez, as synonymous with the city as sherry and flamenco, to show off to the crowds.

The fairground, known as the recinto, was opened in 1903, and in the same year it was agreed that individuals and societies could build their own casetas. There are almost 200 casetas that make up the fairground, beautifully decorated with colourful paper lanterns, known as farolillos.

I like the horse and the beautiful dresses of the Spanish women but the best attraction was the meeting with Angel and his wife. What a pity that Angel left the site :(.

Two more yellow wheels in Workshops.

Hello Malgo,
There is more sense of action and we see more of the surrounding environment in these photos than in the one John showed us. The Spanish sun was very strong and the colours were very intense, maybe slightly too much. I think making it just a little bit lighter and desaturating it a tiny bit would have made it look even better. The WS where you complain of a bad light actually has milder and nicer colours and contrasts. We also get a good view of the nicely dressed women and girls, so I guess I prefer that one.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,

The trees are framing well the scene. The point of view is showing the detailsof the carriage and of the horses. The quality of the light beautifies the colours. Have a nice day.

Hello, the carriage repainted in yellow has a lot of character. Along with the vintage clothes, it reconstitutes a scene of the past. The horses are superbly decorated on the occasion of the festival. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Sliczny powoz i pieknie przystrojone koniki swietnie oddaja atmosfere tego festiwalu. Mimo wad zdjec, o ktorych wspominasz w WS, wspaniale sa tez te kolorowe suknie kobiet.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie

Hello Malgo,
It was such a beautiful and sunny day, which resulted in perfect clarity and well-saturated colours. The green of the trees makes for the perfect background for the yellow carriage and the white horses and the red decorations around the heads. Well captured.

Bonjour, chère Malgo,
Magnifique attelage, les chevaux peuvent être fiers de leur harnachement, quant à la calèche, c'est un bijou !
C'est beau, coloré et fort agréable à regarder.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Malgorzata
Not only yellow wheels but there are many yellows for John and us! but attraction is still on the classic horse carriage and how the animal is decorated!! The marriage of colour to blue sky is outstanding. Great shot
Best regards

Hello Malgo.
A beautiful image during the Jerez Fair, this carriage strolling the Paseo de las Palmeras is a beauty with the yellow carriage and the two beautiful white horses, beautiful wooded background.
A magnificent color, which gives the image a lot of chromatic richness.
Very good management of lighting and sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Malgo,
This bright yellow carriage and the horses decorated with orange flowers will not soon see riding around in the Flemish country. These bright colors fit more in the southern countries. In the North, the use of colour is usually more moderate.
Nice to show this difference in this way.
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hello Malgo,
I remember a lot of (at least partially) yellow buildings in Jerez. I did forget that the wheels of the horse carriages were also yellow.
Your photos in the WS show beautifully the festive attire of the visitors of the Jerez Horse Fair.
Wasn't it difficult to find affordable accommodation during those days?
Best regards, Paul

Seeing this picture, Malgo, realized we miss Angel who reside near Cadiz and every year would post a similar sight of the chariots and horses. Wonder how he is and why not seeing him on TE.
Anyway, beautiful three photo from this event.
Have a nice sunday,
Ike
