Chocolate Bethlehem

In Spain, given the long catholic history, there is a long tradition of preparing nativity scenes for Christmas, popularly called "Belenes" (from the name of the city, Bethlehem). Some days ago, we spent the only day without rain to go to the village of Rute, where in these dates there is a famous "Belén de chocolate", a "Belén" made only of chocolate. Obviously I took many pictures with my Penax K10D, and here are some samples. As usual, jpegs straight from the camera, 18-55 standard Pentax lenses, white balance manually adjusted for artificial lighting; I used maximum aperture and automatic speed and ISO; due to the light conditions, all pictures were done at ISO 1600, which means some noise, but I think the results are acceptable overall; and then many pictures taken in a hurry, as there was a long queue waiting to see the same thing.
