You're standing at the Merry Cemetery in Săpânța, a village in Maramureș County, Romania. Take a look around. This is nothing like an ordinary graveyard. Everywhere you'll see brightly coloured oak crosses, painted in a naïve, almost childlike style. Each one shows the person buried there, often caught in a scene from their everyday life.
