The Dia de los Muertos is a social and cultural festival at the beginning of November with many events like the children's pageants, street and private parties, and gatherings honoring the dead. There are home and public altars (ofrendas) on which people place the favorite foods and beverages of their departed. Many visit cemeteries with these items as gifts too and spend the night with those who have passed. Here are some images from such an outing.

It reminds me of Obon in Japan when we honor our ancestors who we believe temporarily return to visit us. - Charlie

Some excellent work has been posted in this thread since I last visited. I have not had time for serious shooting the past two weeks, but can show a variation on a previously shown theme. It is entitled "Collision course".

Super images Allen! The tones are always "dead on"!
It is nice seeing your images, and those posted by others, that show a more "together" World. Granted it is here in the USofA Not the crap on the news where everyone is someone's enemy. Political or cultural! Just not understanding that with the push of just 1 button, from anyone, and were are all gone! It is NOT "rocket science"! Sorry for the pun.
Again sorry for the rant!
Super images brother!

Charlie, with the world is such a state of "disrepair", we need help! If those who have gone before us can help, asking them, via your images, could help!

A walk around Disney Springs, one of my favorite spots when I travel thru Orlando.
Camera set to f2.8 with a target of 3-5 meters; this setting me is very comfortable for me to shoot from the hip.

Introspection brother. Seems as I grow older, it becomes more obvious!
Very well seen and composed! The phrase on the sign also.
