Let's have a party, a photo from Ribeira Grande, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

Like a modern Pied piper of Hamelin he leads the children astray with the irresistible promise of plenty of cool beer.
No, actually the bottle is inflatable and meant for a publicity stunt, and the children just happened to be there.
The picture is taken on Santo Antão island.

Hi Gert,
Fine capture even if it is not the real thing, not even 'probably beer' as some brewery adverties.

Hi Gert,
very funny picture with the famous Portuguese beer.
The children for sure are returning from (or going to) school, as we see by the typical school clothes and stuff.

Hi Gert!
I visited four islands of Cape Verde and Ponta do Sol was and is still my favourite place there.Great shot with the pupils following the big beerbottle.Excellent POV and great sharpness overall.
We missed us for only about 2 weeks there,I arrived there at 15th of april last year...
Regards,Leo

Lovely, light hearted shot Gert. You've captured the moment perfectly. Nice bright colours and fine sharpness. Excellent, Roberto

great shot. I like the composition with the man in the foreground and the children in the back. The bottle thats towards the camera is also a nice addition. very well done.
