The Monumental Alebrijes Parade took place in Mexico City last month. Alebrijes are fantastical figures designed to ward off nightmares. These sculptures are usually painted in vivid colours and patterns.
Alebrijes were created by a famous indigenous Mexican artist, Pedro Linares, in the 1940s. He began making them based on a dream he had.

Sheep return from grazing in the mountains with their shepherds during the autumn ‘redyk’ in Szczawnica, southern Poland. After summer grazing in the mountain pastures, the sheep return to their rural farmsteads. This event, which attracts crowds of tourists, marks the traditional end of the shepherding season.
