Every year on November 2, the Day of the Dead, the villagers of Santiago Sacatepequez in Guatemala fly some of the biggest kites in the world in memory of their deceased loved ones. Brilliantly colored and often spanning 23 feet, the kites fill the sky over the cemetery. This is the story of Juan, who has built a kite every year with his grandfather. Since his grandfather has died, Juan must now carry on the tradition alone. Beautiful photographs show Juan, with his friends' help, sending his kite soaring into the sky.
