dusty and movielady: Maybe they are above ground for the same reason as in New Orleans? I'm not sure.
dc: I love the colors! That is what struck me the most about being in Mexico. They certainly aren't afraid to use color to brighten their lives (and deaths apparently)!
Those cemeteries get me too..wow, beautiful photos,colors so vibrant. I need a dose of Mexico, not sterile, or in denial of life; struggle and death as we are here, and it soothes my need for touching reality.

All above ground? Interesting, and quite the vibrant colors.
It reminds me a little of the cemetaries in New Orleans. Maybe it's just me, but it always creeps me out a little to see above-ground cemetaries.
Cool cemetery! I love photographing cemeteries. This one looks especially busy. Must have been hard to choose what to photograph.
I also really like the bright, cheery, dare I say it?--life affirming colors. So different from our staid and formal cemeteries up here.
Nice series, Maya.

sherry: They certainly do those things there in a different way than we do here. It was refreshing!
