@Gary: Thanks. We take groups of film/photography students to the Czech Republic every year, and a visit to the Ossuary at Sedlec is always planned. It's quite an experience, especially when visited in light of its fascinating history, and that piece of film work by Jan Svankmajer.
Excellent.

@Rags: Thanks. For some reason I couldn't get to link 2 different URLS in the title bit, so thanks for supplying a clickable link.
Can't begin to imagine what it was like to be there.. watched the film, and felt moved and confused..all a bit overwhelming..must try to go there to see it for myself, thanks..

@CATCHLIGHT: Thanks. Yes it is quite a strange place, has an odd effect on first entering, a bit overwhelming. I have previously posted other imagers here

Also the day before, and on 26th March.
Firstly: fascinating and haunting image.. Excellent. Secondly: I'm on dial-up (that anitquated technology that is forced upon those of us living in the toolies LOL) so must try and remember to do your link on Monday when at work and can use the high speed just so I understand what this is about.
