I love these photos! Very pseudo-religious!f
Happy Easter.
Excellent photographs.
Reminds me of Fatima in Portugal. The Las Vegas of catholicism. To think it used to be a simple meadow.

It's semana santa, I don't know if you ever had the grand experience of being here for this holiday. but i'll say it's a photographers dream come true. I'll be posting it once i get back to costa rica and get organize the 600 pictures and videos i took:)

I love that first image!
Oh very nice!!
I've always loved the kitsch of these images.
Beautiful indeed.
Hope you enjoyed your Easter in Mexico. Some day I hope to do the pilgrimage from Atotonilco to San Miguel. I have taken so many photos of religious icons in Mexico...they are beautiful, and often strange. Be safe.
