After-Life in Punta Arenas (2)

a grave full of mementos and flowers ... a loving tribute at the cemetery in Punta Arenas ...

Punta Arenas is the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel. Punta Arenas was originally established by the Chilean government in 1848 as a tiny penal colony. During the remainder of the 1800s, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to the increasing maritime traffic and trade traveling to the west coasts of South and North America. This period of growth also resulted from the waves of European immigrants, mainly from Croatia and Russia attracted to the gold rush and sheep farming boom in the 1880s and early 1900s.

    Blumen lockern die Stille auf dem Friedhof auf. Gut getroffenes Bild, Adele.

    An interesting documentry about grave decoration in different cultures. Also noticable, that a photo of the person burried there is being shown.
    Artifical flowers might not be liked by many,- but their advantage is,- that they stay for long.
