I enjoyed looking through those. Some beautiful shots there from around the world.

Skulls guarding a festive altar during the Dia de Muertos holiday in Mexico

My favorite one...

Thanks for your feedback. Oh yeah all those skulls, skeletons and otherwise creepy stuff look so different when painted with bright colors :) The Mexicans have a very special approach to death. Quite the cultural shock for someone from Europe :D

Interesting stuff I'd say. The movie Coco made me aware of this relationship they have with death. It's quite fascinating.

I didn't see this in Mexixo myself, but we were there on honeymoon, so spent most of the time at our resort relaxing.

Fascinating indeed :) We actually watched Coco when living in Mexico, a great way to learn something about the Dia de Muertos holiday too...
