Grave Yard
















Near the apt is a large neighborhood intersection with carts, stalls, animals, and a graveyard next to the commuter rail stop. The black sign in the 2nd photo reads "Christian Grave yard". Within the walled part are graves with crosses and outside the walls it is mixed religions. There is a large structure where about twice a week there have been funeral pyres (photo 1). I'm not quite sure of who buries and who burns. This intersection is great for photos. On the left is a street with stalls, on the right is a large lot with a tire stall - people walk their animals in this lot during the day. The apts in back of the lot are about 4 stories high and always have lots of colorful laundry hanging out. There is a stagnant water stream (can a stream be stagnant?) running just past the graveyard before the commuter rail overpass. There are always animals hanging out in the water. On the left side of the road (photo 3) it's sort of exposed, but on the right there's a huge batch of tall grass where I'm sure there are more animals than I can see. On the right at the edge of the grass there's also at least 1 tall water pump that people use for showers and laundry. Every time we drive by I don't know what I'm going to see or exactly where, so I haven't gotten v good photos yet. Will keep trying.
