This must be a popular part of the memorial site. There are so many things put here. And some of the candles were still lit!

This photo really shows how the memorials were put into every nook and crack in the rocks.

Flowers by Santa Fe

This photo was taken on the winding road that goes to the ski area outside of Santa Fe. It was in this little area that must be a bad place in the road because there were multiple descansos.

I love this little statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her lazy eye.

Well, either I took this photo or my friend Andrew did.  Just being honest.

Descanso and yellow bus

It is not always easy to get a good shot of both the descanso and the road. I was so pleased when a yellow bus came by right at the right moment.

Flowers and grill from car wreck.

This is the same descanso as the last post (provided you are seeing the one from Baja with the red flowers). This one was eerie as it was on a very dangerous section of road and included pieces of the grill from the wrecked car.

Detail of Baja descanso with the red flowers

I took this photo because of the juxtaposition of the wonderful red fake flowers against the dry, barren landscape of Baja. The next post will be of the entire descanso.

This place must be very sacred to many people. It is just covered with momentos and other signs of devotion and memorial.
