Photo theme - chains

I've already posted one photo from this day in 2016 and here's another for this theme, taken in La Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

We had a full day's tour while in Buenos Aires at the start of our South American cruise in 2016. This began with a visit to La Recoleta Cemetery. Laid out in a grid pattern like a city with some wide avenues and some side streets between mausoleums, largely of very rich or prominent families in the city, this is most famously the resting place of Eva Perón. An overcast day gave it all a suitably sombre feel for the visit but the large number of stray cats around the place cheered us up.

For #Caturday here's one of the many stray cats we found when we visited La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. This cat is in front of the tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak, killed at the age of 26 in an avalanche in Austria, and commemorated with this statue of her in her wedding dress and with her dog Sabú. The cat wanted some of that rubbing action people dole out on the dog's nose.

For #Caturday and some more #TravelPhotography from #Argentina, this was taken in #LaRecoleta #Cemetery in #BuenosAires in 2016. We were obviously there to see - amongst others - the crypt of Eva Peron, but during our tour we saw numerous stray cats wandering around, and I liked the pose this one was making.
