Wonderful, but it creeps me out!

Well composed and exposed interior shot. They certainly have out-of-this world stuff like ossuaries in Europe (reminds me of one in Portugal).

Amazing contrast in the colour and subject matter here. Angels and Demons springs to mind.

Can you tell me where this is? The combo of Cherub and skulls...not an everyday image. Still cool though.

@Rebel Streetshooter: This place is in the town of Sedlec, near Kutna Hora in The Czech Republic.
Very interesting image -- it invites much curiosity. I'd like to see this spot in real time.

Thanks for sharing Richard. Most of this stuff I will probably never see and it's fascinating!! What a contradictory image this is... Well done!

Nicely captured, but a bit creepy!

This is one interesting pic! What made them put the cherub and the bones together?

@rags: I'm not sure of the significance, but it is holy ground, being part of The Church of All Saints. The maker was a man called Frantisek Rint, who created all of the decorations from the bones and skulls some time around 1870 I seem to remember.
I agree, beautiful but a little creepy LOL
