Description
The Island of the Dolls in Mexico City's Xochimilco district is a haunting place. Folklore tells of a man who found a small girl who passed away from drowning in the canal water next to the island. The man also found a doll near her body and to honor her, he placed the doll in one of the trees on the island. He than felt that the little girl's soul was still on the island, and to please her, he began placing more dolls and stuffed animal around the island. Now the island is covered with dolls, doll parts and toys. It is quite a haunting and mysterious place. This image has been digitally altered for softer, painterly appearance.
