#3 made me dizzy for some reason lol
lol it made me dizzy just taking it. I couldnt just lie on my back in the floor of the Church with people all around and the walls around you are so big that when you look straight upwards you get a headache

The cathedral is the Church of St. Barbara. The bones are from the Kostnice Sedlec, or Sedlec Ossuary. They are located in the city of Kutná Hora, in the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic.

Here's a couple more. I know its ghetto ass watermarks, but the only photo editing program I know how to use is paint :(

enjoy

The Sedlec Ossuary contains some 50-70 thousand human skeletons. A lot of people were buried here during the Plague and the Hussite Wars. In the late 19th cent. an artist was hired to clean up the place and redecorate it..and well... he came up with this:

#12 Coat of Arms of the Schwarzenberg Family. Made entirely of bones. They're the ones who commissioned the redecoration of the Ossuary...but I know they weren't expecting this

#13 The famous Chandelier, again, made entirely of Bones. Flash and no tripod and not much experience though...

I'm in shock, that place is soooo crazy awesome

looks up tickets to Czech Republic



hahaha do it man. That country is the shi**!!! And they're not on the Euro yet, so its still cheaper than going to the usual places like France, Germany, England, etc. Its in the center of Europe, so everything is accesible by train or plane. Or rent a car, and a 10 hour drive gets you to Italy.

Oh yeah, and the women are absolutely gorgeous and they have the best beer in the world as well, and it many cases its cheaper than water :bigthumbu
