Hey Judy - Your last shrine and my first one appear to be the same one differently painted. When was yours taken? Mine was Sept. 2004, a year ago.

*Later: I looked through some photos taken same shrine about 12 years ago and at that time it was yellow with red, as in Judy's photo. Lattitude's the same but the attitude changed.

Yeah I know that one by the "ball", certainly a magical place, just South of Mida Flores. It gets new paint real regular, lots of people stop there to light a candle, for sure I have. I've done some serious praying there as a matter of fact. yep, it is a very special shrine indeed. Thank You both for taking me there this evening, will make for some sweet dreams.

Given that cemeteries are sort of multiple shrines, I'm kinda partial to this one.:saint:

And yes those your blue one and my beige one are one and the same at the Tropic of Cancer. I seem to recall another photo of you near that spot.

This is the inside of San Raphael

Found this shrine in the middle of nowhere between Vizcaino and San Ignacio when I was trekking through the desert in 2003.
If these pictures are too large, let me know and I'll change them to links.
