The Last Skulls

During the Day of the Dead season there were several places, most notably the Paseo de la Reforma, which were adorned with "Mexicráneos", the large fiberglass skulls which are each painted by a different local artist.  Another place that had "Mexicráneos" was the "camellón", or pedestrian walkway in the middle of Avenida Alvaro Obregón, the main boulevard in the "colonia" of Roma Norte.

Last week as I was walking back to the apartment from downtown, I saw that there were a number of the skulls still sitting along that avenue.  None of them were from 2025; they were all from previous years.














I wonder if these skulls are going to remain permanently along Alvaro Obregón?
