This is a giant kite it's 25 meters (82 feet) tall, made of a bamboo structure, newspaper and colored tissue paper. It's the work of a whole group for about 6 to 8 months and it's risen on the day of the dead (Nov. 1st), in the cemetery of Santiago, Sacatepequez in Guatemala. The reason this image is irreplaceable is because of the ground, they had a backup tissue paper giant kite in case the other one tore or something else happening to the main one. In over 10 years of going to this cultural festival, I've seen this once.
