This was a Tombstone in the Beautiful Pantheon de Dolores Cemetery in Mexico City. It was unbelieveable how beautiful so many of the Headstones or Sculptures were in one area in particular, it was where all the Famous people in Mexico's History are buried.

Regretably I did not get the name of the person, hopefully on the next trip.

    Howdy Kerry,

    Thanks, it was such an interesting place, with some of the most unusal Markers in one place, can't wait to return.
    Take care,

    Howdy Skippy,

    I am not sure what the Marker represents, but with his painting/muralist background I am sure there was something from there. I did find out who's it was as I was able to see the start of his name on the original image.


    David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896-1974) painter, muralist

    Hi Craig,

    Nice shot. It looks to me that the " Predator " has found himself a temporary resting place. Good thing you didn't disturb him too much getting this shot off.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
