#Autumn_2016 #Mexico #DayoftheDead
In Mexico we don't really get to enjoy that distinctive Autumn foliage like up north, but for me Autumn means that my favorite celebration's coming soon: Day of the dead.

Hi @melody. Day of the dead is a tradition resulting from the combination of Aztec and European beliefs, where we celebrate and remember the lives of our beloved ones that have passed. It's not a sad affair but all the contrary: it's a colorful celebration full of music, food and beverages, usually the ones that the deceased people preferred. Tombs are decorated with orange and fuschia flowers, color paper, candles, fruits, photos and whatnot. It's so very lively!
