Muertos in Atzompa

The village of Atzompa is famous for its archeological site and its distinctive ceramics.  It is also a favorite for visitors for Muertos and has gotten more and more popular over the last few years with too many tour buses.  The main attraction is their use of long velas, candles, which light up the cemetery after dark.
The only problem is... uh... it's dark and getting good shots is hard.  With daylight savings time kicking in last weekend, sunset is early and so was our visit.... just at sunset.
Lots of improvements this years as the cemetery has more than doubled in size and a new ceramics market now abuts it.
So not many candle shots, but still a wonderful experience... always.
