Day of the Dead #1











Here in Mexico on the November 1st and 2nd The Day of The Dead is celebrated.  It is a tradition where people place 'ofrendas' or offering altars in their houses for their deceased, consisting of candles, photos, water, traditional food, candy skulls and marigold flowers.  The pictures above I took at the National University UNAM in Mexico City where each school department puts their own twist on the traditional 'ofrenda', it's a must see.
