Very kind gesture Woodman.

Came late to this thread and have no altars to offer, but have enjoyed reviewing all the posts and wonderful pictures and artistic offerings.

Resurrecting a great old thread here -- I wanted to add two shrines from our trip in July.

Between La Paz and Cuidad Constitucion


Just south of Ensenada.


Another of the most original shrines we saw but didn’t get a picture of was also between La Paz and Cuidad Constitucion -- more on the La Paz side -- it was a, probably, 6 foot white concrete cardon. Does anyone know it and have a picture?

Those little shrines are great, you can light a candle for a departed friend. You can say a prayer for yourself and those that have passed over.:D

If they could make the headlights light up on Hector's memorial that would be awesome.

Here's one just outside La Paz:

Pompano - I believe the second photo I posted in this thread (page 1)
is the inside of the little shrine you show being built.

Sure looks like it, Nena. Nice.




oh..and those hombres are not building that bay shrine, they just repaint it every year. Always fun to see what color the current year brings.

There's one back in the moutains west of Mulege, about where you start heading back towards San Jos'e de Magdalena. In the vicinity of Los Pozos. Neat! Anybody got a picture?:?:
