Noche de los Muertos - Night of the dead is a Mexican festival to celebrate the departed souls of loved ones. The cemeteries which often represent a dead view by the world, suddenly looks alive with millions of candle light and people hovering around them. It is not only beautiful but a very spiritual experience. Family members gather around the tombstones often singing, sharing jokes or sometimes just being there quietly. These photographs were made around small towns in Patzcuaro, Michoacán. |

Traditional Aztec ball game of fire is played in the middle of the night in Tzintzuntzan, Mexico. This is a special ball made of animal skin which is lit on fire and played with something that looks like a hockey stick.
