Easy does it, missy!

In the background, El Obelisco. Built in 1936 to commemorate the city's rechristening as Cuidad Trujillo by the brutal and egotistical president of the county, Rafael Trujillo, El Obelisco is visible for much of El Malecon's stretch. It is now adorned with Dominican flags and distinctly anti-Trujillo murals.

Poised and perched.

Mysterious masked Pride.

Everybody loves a Pride parade.

Wear your pride, ladies.

Pride gridlock.

Big hair = Big Pride.

Lost shoes won't stop the show.

Yes! We think you are pretty!

This little guy is taking it all in.

A bike, a bottle and a boy. Life is good.

Waving to adoring fans.

Don't be shy boys. They won't bite.

Slow traffic allows for friendly conversations.

Abuela Pride.
