Description
A La Recoleta cemetery was built by a monk know as the Order of Recoleta. It was built in 1914 on what was the outskirts of Buenos Aires inn 1912, It surrounded their convent and church and sits on fourteen acres. The site contains 4,691 tombs all of which are above ground. Many famous and important Argentinians are ensconced there. Many of these tombs are declared to be National Historical Monuments and are thereby protected.
Mark waits for the perfect shot here. As he focuses shooting down inside this crypt. The curling paint of the tomb seems to shrink from the coming light. That light is just about to pass completely over the body of Christ, perhaps signaling the time for resurrections.
