Maintaining the Smeltertown Cemetery

Situated at the intersection of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico this cemetery dates from the 1880s and located on the Westside of El Paso. One can see the border wall snaking up the mountain on left side of the photo. The black trestles cross over the Rio Grande below. The tiny white speck on the top left is the international boundary marker. These markers are evenly spaced all along the Southern border. The cross at the top of the mountain is Mt. Cristo Rey. Photographed with Canon 2K film camera with Velvia.
