VENEZUELA-CHAVEZ-DEATH-SABANETA

A man takes snapshots of an improvised altar paying homage to the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, in his native town Sabaneta, northwest Barinas state, on March 7, 2013. The country gave Chavez a rousing send-off through the streets of Caracas on the eve, one day after he lost his battle with cancer at the age of 58, with a sea of people in red shirts throwing flowers on his coffin.
