Rising to the occasion

Today is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and, as luck would have it, I have a stash of photos of my favourite María in Recoleta Cemetery that are perfect for the occasion. I’ve already shown you a version of this window before (see In the beginning), so let’s call this one María II then. She really does look as though she’s making her way up to heaven, don’t you think?

    About me

    I was born in Montreal in 1967, grew up in England and live between London and Buenos Aires. Like many, I came to Buenos Aires to dance tango and fell under the spell of this city where strangers talk to you, tango music seeps on to the streets and the ornate crumbling buildings speak of grander times. I love writing and crafting words – I've worked as a sub-editor for more than 20 years – and taking photographs.
