I like the composition a lot and I have a question there: Given the name "Costa" I was wondering if "Calaveritas" is maybe a shoehorning of the Greek village name "Calavrita"... there could be a connection to Greek immigrants there. Well, of course Calaveritas could be Italian or Spanish too... what do you think?
Sascha,
I wish I could answer your question. There was no one around when I made this photo, and I haven't been back since that time. I do know that there are many Italian families who settled in the foothills in the 1800's.
I've been meaning to go back to this place. When I do, I'll try to dig some more info.
Thanks for the comment about the shot.
