Pics: The dead walk among usEd Note -- OK, OK, we're a tad late posting these wonderful pics by Ariel Soto of the annual Day of the Dead procession -- at which we actually sensed a greater Latino presence than at years previous. But we got a little caught up in the whole election kerfuffle. Enjoy.
The group of skeletons that congregated at 24th and Bryant on the night of November 2nd, seemed excited and ready to embark on the procession lit by candles and redolent of incense, to honor friends and family who have passed on, perhaps to bigger and better places. The procession, accompanied by drummers and dancers, made its way through the Mission, ending in Garfield Park where spectators respectfully looked at dozens of altars constructed by different artists and family members.
