This is a little intro shot to the Sedlec Ossuary in Kutna Hora - the second pic is the chandelier that apparently contains every bone in the human body, plus at least one or two duplicates, as far as I could see!
The "Bone Church", as it's known, had piles of bones just sitting around after they were dug up to make room for plague victims - until an artist decided to get "creative" with them in the 1800's. There were all kinds of delightful creations in there, including a family crest of the sponsoring family...just the thing to get for the person who has everything!
