Hi Joanna - This must be a pet cemetary in New Orleans.  Yes?

Joanna,

The final resting place?  Very colorful, and I think Dorie Dillard is on to the answer--a pet cemetary!  Happy Wednesday.  A

Hey Joanna... okay, I'll bite. Is this a cemetary for bird houses, for birds? If so, very creative and interesting and where did you take this picture>

OMG, this is NOT a pet cemetary everyone- Ron and Alexandra Seigel and Doug Dawes and Grant Schneider and Dorie Dillard - it is a human cemetery in Mexico and these are in fact the kinds of monuments that are used for both containing remains and more traditional burial.  We saw a funeral procession there but I did not feel comfortable taking photos so we waited until it was over and then shot.

Of course, how could you know that Doug Dawes? So many different cultural opportunities to observe when we travel, don't you think Michael Jacobs and James Dray ? So much to learn.

Very interesting photo and explanation.  The "homes" house remains?  Is there another reason/purpose for them to be shaped as homes with crosses?  Is it a church or some Catholic symbolism do you know? -Kasey

I thought it was a human cemetery, then scratched my head and thought, but wait....no.....well, go with your first thought, that's usually the right one! 

I saw a funeral procession for a child while traveling in Guatemala. The children followed in a single line, all in their school uniforms. Small casket, really quite a moment and I still remember it clearly, even though that was in 1989. 

Snapshots of travels tell such fascinating tales of life in other lands.

Not being Catholic, I know of no other symbolism for these houses other than they are holy and holding sacred souls Kasey & John Boles 

Good morning Michael Jacobs and Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Real Estate - there are so many wonders in the world-so many places and so little time (and money) to celebrate them all!

And of course the beautiful colors make this feel like a place of celebration rather than solemnity Debbie Reynolds.
