Sardinian Carnival Masks at São Paulo Sunset

Orange low-angle light from a late spring sunset cuts through heavy overcast skies to illuminate a street procession in São Paulo. Participants wear traditional Sardinian wooden masks, their dark, carved surfaces catching the fading glow against gray clouds. The street stretches straight ahead, creating a perfect symmetrical composition with marchers aligned on both sides. Rough wood textures stand out sharply in the dramatic, intense light, while the concrete pavement reflects the warm tones. The heavy clouds loom above, creating a stark contrast between the deep shadows and the bright orange highlights on the masks. One carved eye on the nearest mask reflects the fading sky.
