Description
Having seen Michelangelo's Pieta in person in the Vatican several years before, my eyes were caught by this statuary atop a mausoleum in a little cemetery on the island of Ometepe. A village cemetery was hardly where I expected to find Nicaragua's answer to Pieta, but one could look at the details and tell it was lovingly executed.
I felt the skies were particularly pretty and framed the subject so well. The thick clouds are actually covering the top of one of the volcanoes on the little island in the midst of Lake Nicaragua. Doesn't it create a heavenly feel?
