I was up there this morning (June 30, 2011) from 10:30 am to 12 noon to watch the flower carpets being made for the celebration of Corpus Christi in La Orotava, so after taking photos and reducing them in file size for the forum, I can post a few that I've had time to edit this afternoon.
The rest are going on a slideshow that I've just started, and will hopefully finish adding to it tomorrow and over the weekend.
Here they are - hope you like them :)
The volcanic sand carpets in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento: (city hall plaza)

The weather was cool and misty and I'm glad that it wasn't too hot, although the humidity was high.
I'm sure it was easier for those artists crouched on the cobblestones working on their knees.
Now I'll be watching the procession this evening on local TV.
It's quite a spectacle!
