Day of the Dead

Yesterday was the Day of the Dead.  In some countries it also is celebrated on November 2.  This small tableau can be found in the Oakland Museum's gift shop.

    Nice little groovy sextet here, I have a feeling this is what the Rolling Stones may look like on their next tour haha!

    Heard a MPR story yesterday on the 'Day'. Amazing what they do. It makes so much sense to me.

    Love it. My favorite holiday. Oakland Museum always does such a great Dia de Los Muertos exhibit.

    I think a big group of city daily photo folks should go to Mexico for Day of the Dead next year. A visual feast!
