Camera: Mamiya M645, f2.8 55mm Mamiya-Sekor lens. Buenos Aires, Argentina.
La Recoleta is one of the most famous cemetaries in the world not just because of who is buried there - Eva Peron, being the most famous - but because it is an above ground cemetary, with intricate mausoleums housing the who's who of Argentina's deceased. Plots in La Recoleta, when they have been allowed to be sold, have gone for millions of dollars. Don't ask what they've done in some of the mausoleums to cram generations of bodies in there.
Nice shot, that looks like a killer cemetery. I think I'd like it a lot.

i love old cemetaries like this but just give bung me in a cardboard box and plant a tree on me; that'll do!
terrific shot, btw...i'd happily spend hours here.

I love cemetery's, which is just as well as I'll end up in one!
Always nice places to walk round and take photographs.
