In Tana Toraja ( central Sulawesi) when a baby dies, they carve a hole in a tree and place the baby inside. The idea behind this is that for the local people a baby is innocent and in this way their spirit can grow with the tree. I think it's a beautiful idea. There can be many babies in one tree. In the photo you can see the holes covered up untill the tree grows over the holes.

Fascinating! Well spotted and captured. Thanks for sharing this unusual practice. I agree...it's a beautiful idea but strange by western standards. Regards, Tom

Ayer quise comentar esta foto y el ordenador iba hiperlento, no sé que le pasaba a la conexión. Por fin puedo comentarla!! Me impresionó y a la vez me gustó mucho la historia de esta foto cuando la contaste, me resultaba extraño que no la hubieras colgado, me alegra mucho que lo hayas hecho porque es un ejemplo de reciclaje en el buen sentido de la palabra, todo, todo se recicla menos el plástico, hasta los seres humanos nos reciclamos para crear árboles hermosos :))
