2011 Old City Cemetery - Matias Alvarado (1 of 3)

 Built by German Architect Heinrich Portscheller 

 Daisy Stark is the first recorded pedestrian fatality downtown.  Some say her ghost haunts the Old City Cemetery so they leave toys on her grave to appease her.
 The wall that divides vandals and residents from the grave.

 Above ground tombstones like this dominate New Orleans' cemeteries.


 The following photos were tainted by ash filled skies from an out of control fire in Matamoros.  The effect was a boon to the photographers.
