As a prelude to the Day of the Dead, the ILoveTheWorld flew their drone over the La Palma cemetery. They took a series of photographs, one of which was the paper cover of Chronicle last Sunday (Rescuing my deceased so that the volcano does not re-bury them, top image). With their drone specialized in taking 360-degree images in very high resolution, they portrayed the state of the cemetery.
About to be buried by ashes.
With the menacing lava. But still standing.
It was possible to see those
60 centimeters thick
that rests on the graves, according to Adelmo Bethancourt, one of the gravediggers of the place, related to this supplement. Behind, the desperation and calm of seeing with his own eyes that the cemetery was still standing. For now. That peace is what those photographs taken by the
Canarian dream team of aerial and underwater images
achieve
.
Now, the owners of the houses - like those relatives who worry about the state of the place where their dead rest - turn to this team of photographers and videographers
to get to know what the state of their properties is.
Most, evicted with what they are wearing, do not know what has happened. They do not have access and the emergency services cannot help them. "They do not have time and it is understandable", point out the ILove, who are the ones who channel their orders.
"Now we not only do work to preserve the historical memory of what is happening. We
also help to provide peace of mind," they
point out. "Currently the only official solution is that of the Copernicus. But it is very technical. It is very difficult for a grandmother who does not have a computer and who does not even have a house to understand it ... And we put the photo that is so necessary for mental health to the people. All
ad honorem
. "
Thus they have managed to capture different moments of an island covered in ash:
houses threatened by the very black dust, exhausted firefighters, landscapes transformed by the grayish ...
In this way, they show in all its dimensions the drama of everything that is happening.
"I have hundreds of requests for us to help them."
And they believe that "public institutions must also act."
Not just from neighbors.
Even from animal organizations.
"As the images are of such high quality, there are those who see the
animal tracks
and ask us to find them."
His work in the last month alone on his Facebook account has 13 million views.
As many on Instagram.
"I think there are so many because they are looking for that hope of seeing their house still standing."
