The Craziest Picture I took in Mexico

(It's not this one) This is in Oaxaca City in the centre on a Sunday night before the start of the Guelaguetza festival the day. There were tons of people, speeches, dancers, parades, and fireworks being set off from the church amongst other places. Mexico doesn't really have fireworks regulations as you know...so sometimes things like this happen:

I think without a doubt this is the craziest picture I took during my trip. Something went wrong with the fireworks and one exploded in the crowd. There were a bunch of people running away from it, and the crowd was a bit subdued, but the party kept going...so hopefully the injuries weren't too serious. I didn't see anything in the news the next day, but this image makes me wonder. Kari and I started off down in the crowd, but retreated to a restaurant with a balcony and a view of the festivities. That was probably a wise decision.
