Happy Day of the Dead!

Maude Kerns Art Center and Gallery – Day of the Dead Exhibit (Eugene, Oregon – November 2014)

Today’s photo is 10 years old, but apparently this gallery does a Day of the Dead Exhibit every year at this time so if you are in or near Eugene, head on over before the exhibit changes in a couple of days.

The former Fairmount Presbyterian Church was built in 1895 in the Gothic Revival (Georgian) style near the University of Oregon campus and has been a Eugene historic landmark since 1980.

Just a week to go until forty-something percent of the voting population of the USA goes out and votes for a fascist. The USA is not alone as today’s photo comes from another country which is forgetting history.

Thanks for the memories, Bill. If he was still alive today, he’d be 97.

La Valenciana Church (Guanajuato, Mexico)

Today’s photo comes from my attempt to go by bus to a highly-rated restaurant in Guanajuato. I couldn’t figure the buses out so I ended up taking a taxi. Therefore, I got to the restaurant before they opened and probably an hour or so before my reservation. I decided to take a walk to kill time, and I headed in the direction of this church on the top of the hill. A little over halfway there I got a little freaked out as the road had turned into a path, and the path started getting pretty sketchy. I felt like I was about to stumble upon El Chapo’s hideout so I turned around and headed back to the restaurant.

If I’m ever in Guanajuato again, I plan to make it to this 18th-century church as it’s supposed to be very opulent, including lots of stuff covered in gold leaf.
