       Buenos Aires, Recoleta Cemetery (page 2)

 

 

 

            This second page of pictures gets a little more detailed with the burial sites, exposed caskets and statues.  All or most of these burial sites have a "basement" that holds caskets of family members.  Most are concealed but as you'll see many are not. 

Click on the image.  Now.


 

Another more typical site, but with a broken window.

Twins!

Well taken care of.

Not as well taken care of.

Morticia always liked the family dog.

I liked this one.

It's hard to make a face look normal when it's shaped around a 90 degree corner.

Looking inside one of the burial sites, a more simple setup.

More broken windows.

Reflections are cool.

Humble twins.

Stairway to something. Can you tell which order they're in, from near to far?

I think the collection of grime added to the character of this statue.

Sad.

The headless cemetery statue guy.

The insides of these sites usually had different memoirs for a specific person or family in general.

Another grandiose site.

Floating Jesus on the ceiling, from previous photo.

Serious, cob-webb guy.

Peering through a window here to see one of many stained glass windows in the cemetery.

Is he coming or going??

Another glimpse through a window.

Some are more simple; I guess those are urns with ashes in them, or really small people.

Sort of Notre Damish style.

This one was open, and probably has been robbed.

The bottom layer, notice the cracked caskets.

This one was completely open, maybe some of the cats live here.

A glimpse into some more tidy afterworld real estate.

Near the front entrance.

From just inside the cemetery.

Last minute photos - they ring a bell at 6:00 pm telling everyone it's time to leave.

I had to get in a couple more pictures before they kicked me out.

More crosses.

Okay, that's it.

One of the many statues in the city, a couple of blocks from the cemetery.

C3PO type of thing, inside a ritzy furniture place at The Recoleta Village.
