Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is celebrated in Mexico with iconography of skeletons, demons, masks of horror and masks of humor. The celebration is around the time of Halloween and "all souls day" and "all saints day. The latter on Nov 1 and the former on the 2nd. However yhou can find these sculptures year-round.
I shot this image of a paper mache sculpture of a Dia de los Muetos skeleton as I was having espresso along the beach near downtown Zihuatanejo. It was a fair distance from me, and I am generally pleased with the shot. Note the bandana on the skeleton. That's what I mean by humor.
