Description
There was something to me quite poetic about finding a little cemetery in the shadow of a large volcano. Even more so with the knowledge that the volcano is know as Concepcion - i.e. conception. There's much of the circle of life in that - quite symbolic to me at least. How about you?
This little trio of crosses was in that little cemetery in the village of Altagracia on the island of Ometepe in the midst of Lake Nicaragua. Several of the others in my group took various nature hikes that day but I decided I wanted to wander through one of the villages of the island, to get a feel for life there and appreciate the rhythm of life.
I guess a cemetery is certainly part of that rhythm, although not per se what I was expecting. Of course, anyone who knows me knows that I find cemeteries fascinating. The ones I've encountered in Latin America have all been filled with cheerful colors. Quite the departure from the somber mood one usually finds, eh?
