November Flying Carpet 2015

In November the Flying Carpet 
got its Day of the Dead on
at the Marigold Parade 

in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Exuberant and Unique Revelry
Celebrating the Dead
by those who 

"have been
“born here all my life"”
as they say in Burque

 Calavera attire...
living evocations of the prints of
José Guadalupe Posada
satirizing the finery 

of the wealthy upper classes


La Calavera Catrina is considered to be 
the personification 
of The Day of the Dead.

Danse Macabre...
Remembrance of loved ones
Vivos Los Queremos!


Political La Raza





some truly spooky aspects





amidst the general zaniness 
and showing off





Special thanks to Sialia and Jacob 
for including me





...and Serena just because...
