La Calavera Catrina
La Calavera Catrina
('Dapper Skeleton', 'Elegant Skull') is a 1910–1913 zinc etching by famous
Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer José Guadalupe Posada.
The image depicts a female skeleton dressed only in a hat befitting the upper class
outfit of a European of her time. Her chapeau en attende is related to French
and European styles of the early 20th century. She is offered as a satirical
portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt
European aristocratic traditions in the pre-revolutionary era. She in
particular has become an icon of the Mexican DÃa de los Muertos, or Day of the
Dead.
Troncones Surfing Surf Report for May 3, 2015
Is it the size of the wave or the motion of the ocean? A little of both today. Big swell, no REALLY big swell. Not "perfect" conditions however...
There were some awesome sets. 12 to 18 ft faces and some guys actually going after those bigger ones. There were a few pretty gnarly wipeouts and a few really good rides.
4 to 6 out grabbing the big stuff!
Looking at at least 1 to 2 more days before everything starts tapering off midweek to closer to normal.
Water temps in the mid 80's and air temps in the mid 90's.
