Village Views


This is a photo of a grave in the countryside. Fortune tellers tell people the best place to bury their dead, and often these 'good places' are in the middle of a farmer's field. The cremated remains are placed in urns and buried in these conical mounds of dirt. These mounds have recently been tended to; this past week was a national memorial day type of holiday in which people remember their ancestors by visiting the graves, sprucing them up, and leaving decorations on them.
