The festive time is… always! No matter what day of the year it is, somewhere, someone is celebrating something. And no matter where, it usually involves music, dance, colourful costumes and people coming together to share the joy of those special moments.
Photographer Ethan Fox Miles has travelled to more than 40 countries (and counting) and personally witnessed dozens of such festive days. Those encounters resulted in thousands of photographs. Some we present here, for more make sure to visit: nomadicfoxphoto.com
