Chiesa di Maria SS delle Grazie, Pizzo, Calabria.
La Chiesa di Maria SS delle Grazie di Pizzo Calabro si trova a pochi passi dalla Piazza panoramica della città. La struttura venne edificata a metà del Seicento insieme alla Chiesa del Purgatorio di qualche anno più vecchia ed alla quale è tutt’ora annessa. La facciata comune era un tempo adornata da decorazioni pittoriche che però il tempo ha portato via: oggi è ricoperta da bassorilievi in ceramica realizzati dallo scultore pizzitano Giovanni Curatolo. La Chiesa venne edificata grazie all’omonima congregazione di pescatori ed venne più volte rimaneggiata ed abbellita. Interessanti gli affreschi sulla parete sinistra, copie degli originali del Raffaello realizzate da artisti locali. Le altre opere pittoriche sono dei pittori pizzitani Carmelo Zimatore e suo cognato Diego Grillo. Alla sinistra dell’altare troverete la statua di Sant’Emidio protettore delle genti terremotate: venne portata qui nel 1911 quale estrema richiesta di aiuto divino contro i frequenti eventi sismici che avevano interessato la zona. La parte più interessante della Chiesa di Maria delle Grazie è però la cripta cui si accede dalla Sagrestia: qui si trova infatti una tomba di scolo dei frati Pasqualini scoperta nel 1975 e risalente al XVII secolo. Sono ancora presenti alcuni scheletri con gli abiti talari, posti sugli scranni dove i cadaveri erano lasciati “scolare” prima di essere interrati in fosse comuni. Una visione non certo adatta agli animi più sensibili, ma di sicuro interesse per tutti gli altri.
Built in 1275, the Franciscan church in Fribourg (Église des Cordeliers) is one of the main Gothic medieval buildings in the city, and this is the apsideal vault over the High Altar.

This is a minor church in Uppsala, or rather, it's perceived as a minor church because of its location next to the great cathedral.
Here it's dark outside, and it does effect the general mood of the picture. Compare it to this shot of the same place, taken some two and a half years earlier, in perfect daylight. Quite the difference!
Der spätgotische Kreuzgang der Basilika St.Vitus ist im Norden an das romanische Langhaus angefügt, Grabmäler aus drei Jahrhunderten sind hier noch sichtbar. Vier netzgewölbte Flügel umschließen den Kreuzgarten.
The late-Gothic cloister of the Basilica St.Vitus is added to the north by the Romanesque nave, tombs from three centuries are still visible here. Four net-vaulted wings enclose the cross garden.
This is a very eerie place indeed. A large hospital built around 1900 for tuberculosis patients and 40 years later used by the Nazis to investigate the brains of mentally ill people (after they killed them first, of course). If there is a place on this planet where braind-dead Zombies could be found, it would be here...
Urbex is short for Urban Exploration. It is the act of going to and exploring lost and forgotten places that are not visited and often even inaccessible to the general public. Such places include abandoned factories, hospitals, schools, offices and other derelict buildings, unused nuclear bunkers, old military buildings, disused rail yards etc. The real urbexer will NOT break anything in (or to get into) these places. In fact that is considered VERY bad form. But if access can be obtained without causing any damage, then that's considered fair game. Vandalism and graffiti are NOT allowed. It's like nature photography: Leave only footprints, take only pictures. See more Urbex here.

Peterborough Cathedral.
The 'New' Building, or Eastern Building - added between 1496 and 1509, its superb fan vaulting was probably the work of John Wastell who built King's College Chapel, Cambridge.
"John Wastell, the last and perhaps most brilliant master mason who worked on King's, took charge in 1508. He is the architect of the beautiful fan vaulting – 'the noblest stone ceiling in existence' – which was built in just three years between 1512 and 1515." King's College Chapel, Cambridge.

Cimitero Monumentale di Milano is one of the mail cemetery of the city. It is known for its numerous artistic tombs and other monuments.
These three photos are those I promised from the main hall. The colors really were amazing, in particular the deep blue paint, and the light coming from the many windows made the atmosphere quite fascinating.
A commission replica of Sermon Audio's Vault--their new set of servers where upwards of 2 million sermons are stored.
This was real fun to build, very different from anything I've done before, and hands down my largest commission yet. Got a working red light in there and loads of crazy SNOT work behind the scenes! It's on display now at the BJU library so if you're in Greenville, stop by and check it out!
Plus, custom kits of one of these racks may be coming soon(TM) if I can figure out how to simplify the building process well enough...

While visiting Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY I came upon a masoleum and entered it and found several vaults to examine.
La porte de la Vierge : le tympan représente une Vierge trônant en majesté, tenant l'enfant Jésus sur ses genoux. Cette statue est très finement sculptée. Aux drapés élégants s'ajoute un beau bijoux autour du cou de Marie. La Vierge est entourée de quatre anges. Deux dans la partie supérieure la couronnait (avant que la couronne ne disparaisse), et deux autres dans la partie inférieure chantent ses louanges. Sur les côtés de la porte se trouvent deux statues-colonnes, allégories de la synagogue et de l'église.

(_3002926BW) Abbazia di Fossanova
is this where it happened?
yeah, up in the bell tower.
what was he doing up there?
he was afraid of heights and didn't want to go. but I told him that he had to face his fears.
did he?
he did. and then he fell.
I guess his fears were pretty realistic, then.
yeah, he was a very rational kind of guy.
not that it did him much good, I guess.
no, not so much.
