What a unique photo! I'm surprised they allowed you to take it. It seems like a very private vigil.

Private but public, too, I think, as that is part of the spirit of the Day of the Dead observations. Very well composed and presented, Mitch, and a most moving photo.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, it is both a public and a private remembrance. Families gather and most welcome both friends and vistors.
