Dennis-
One should never pee where he prays. That lightning bolt is painful as it travels upstream.:o:lol:

Nice photo, Rogelio!

Little respect for the dead

As the road between Todos and Cabo is widened, more of these shrines to the dead seem to get displaced. Don't think the road workers are happy about moving the shrines to the side of the road. Saw one that looked like it was going to fall over.

Also saw some HUGE Cardons that had been carefully graded around -- then one day they disappeared.

Oh, No. Now I feel bad. I wouldn't do that unless I turned her around. She should be taking in the ocean view anyway. :D

Shrine

tehag - 3-1-2010 at 01:15 PM

There are a number of such shrines. They have nothing to do with the recent dead. They are for travelers to seek blessing on their trips. They are often located at the beginning of especially dangerous stretches of road. I've heard them called, "Capillitas de Nuestra Seņora de Frenos Buenos."

Perfect. I'll bet there's one at the top of the Sta. Rosalia grade.

I like it too, Pompano! It speaks to me....quietly! :yes:

Roger if they haven't seen where it is located then they don;t understand the significants of the shrine on the hiway and the view of the Bay of Concepcion :no::no::no:

I know that shrine one of my favorites, unfortunatly it smells like pee.

Maria's houses

Mulegena - 3-1-2010 at 08:54 PM

One of the many things we do to keep ourselves and children entertained as we travel the peninsula is to look for these charming little shrines. The first one of us to spot one calls out, "Maria's house!" and points to it.

There are some really beautiful ones, some garrish, some the size for Barbie and Ken to take up housekeeping. There's one about an hour south of Constitution that is quite elaborate where people have left offerings.

There's one at the front of town on the hill in Mulege. The girls and I have grabbed our brooms and marched up there to clean it and rearrange the benches and furnishings. I think I'll give Santa Rosalia de Mulege a visit again soon.

Thanks, Pompano. We Like!

Pompano - 3-2-2010 at 06:15 AM

...well, let's see what happens with this one...sigh..



longlegsinlapaz - 3-2-2010 at 06:48 AM

Great shot! Thanks for getting up early enough to capture it!:bounce:

wessongroup - 3-2-2010 at 07:41 AM

Like them both.. thanks..:):)

bajabass - 3-2-2010 at 07:41 AM

Great pic Pomp. I think my wife crosses herself every time we head south out of Mulege. That can be a nasty section of road. I understand why, everyone is watching the bay, not the road. I have been guilty as well!

Pompano - 3-2-2010 at 07:56 AM

Yes..that shrine has saved my life a thousand times. ;D

Natalie Ann - 3-2-2010 at 08:32 AM

Your morning sun through the tree.... what a lovely way to wake up!

nena

Yes....?

bajabass - 3-2-2010 at 11:55 AM

I'll bet none of them are saying " Pick me, pick me Pomp".:biggrin::lol:

Skipjack Joe - 3-2-2010 at 12:26 PM

Yes, I like the tree a lot as well. Our cypress trees look like that at sunset sometimes. Thanks, Roger.

toneart - 3-2-2010 at 02:12 PM

Beautiful tree/light, Rogelio! Just don't let Dennis near it. He might lift his leg. Pray that he doesn't find it. If you catch him, he could end up as a permanent part of the new shrine, from barking up the wrong tree. :lol::lol::o

Great pic of a beached whale!!;) But I gotta tell ya, Pomp, it woulda even better without the tripod.:rolleyes:

willyAirstream - 3-3-2010 at 08:00 AM

Great shots - keep em coming!

Vince - 3-3-2010 at 06:51 PM

Roger- I have some great photos of that same shrine above Conception taken from inside looking thru the glass at the islands in the bay. I bought them from a friend of Joe Sedevic's at Joe's house in the mid or late '70's.
