Antigua, Guatemala.  Semana Santa, Holy Week.   Spectators watch as artists put  final touches on an alfombra (carpet) of colored sawdust to decorate the street in advance of the passage of a procession during Holy Week.  The alfombra will be finished only a couple of hours before the passage of the procession, after which the remains will be quickly swept away by municipal street sweepers.
