I found out that the grassy area is the Jewish section.

Maybe the grassy area was for the “rich” folks?

I didn’t, but I will have to get an El Paso map and see if I can figure out which cemetery it is. I agree – it is so strange that there is a walled in area with grass and trees and then the rest is just barren dirt. I am curious to know why also.

Wow! Did you get the name of the cemeteries? There has got to be a reason for the difference between the two…

It’s odd, I’ll give you that. What’s curious is the contrast with the lush green cemetery next to it … it’s almost like it’s purposely dry, brown, and barren. Nice photos!

Very unusual looking to be sure!
