  • An old burial crypt inset into a wall of the New Cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland. The memorial headstone has been removed for safety reasons which, in turn, gives this an unfinished, eery, creepy feeling.
  • A single headstone in a cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland is silhouetted by the setting sun at dusk.
  • A grisly image of death grimacing with a skull and crossbones on a headstone in Kylemore Abbey in Edinburgh, Scotland.
  • A candle stand full of small votive candles lit for prayers at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh.
  • Multi-colored light from a stained glass window splashes over the wall and stonework in a chapel in St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland.
  • A sign in Paris announcing the entrance to the Catacombs, an underground cemetery.
  • A hyuman school is highlighted against thousands of other bones in the ossuary of the Catacombs under the streets of Paris, France. This skull has yellowed with age relative to the concrete it is set into.
  • Silence, Etres Mortels (or Silence, Mortal Beings) is a warning sign in the catacombs under Paris where millions of skeletons are buried.
  • The Holocaust Memorial outside the old prison camp at Terezin.
  • The Star of David rises over the cemetery in front of the walls of the Terezin (or Theresienstadt) prison. The flowers are planted at every grave marker.
  • The Holocaust memorial at Terezin (Theresienstadt) in the Czech Republich is located in front of the old prison walls.
  • A view of the old Jewish cemetery in Prague. The tombstones are uneven due to age.
  • A view of part of the Josefov cemetery in the old ghetto of Prague. The Jewish cemetery, with the uneven headstones carved in Hebrew, represents centuries of history that has been preserved.
  • Detail view with a skeleton making a salute. This is one of the main ornamental works at the bone church in Kutna Hora. The All Saints church has thousands of skeletons in its four main crypts.
  • Human bones (skulls, femurs, hips, etc) formed into a famnily coat of arms at the Kostnice ossuary (Bone Church) in Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic. This somewhat macabre display is formed into the Schwarzenberg family coat of arms and uses most of the human skeleton in one piece.
  • At the Sedlice All Saints bone church in Kutna Hora, a display of skulls is surrounded by donations of various coins. The walls surrounding the skulls are made of various bones from legs and arms. A scary image for Halloween.
  • Six human skulls are piled on top of each other in a ossuary (or bone church) located in the Czech Republic. A scary image for Halloween!
  • A detailed view of one of the crypts at the ossuary in Kutna Hora with skulls. Coin offerings have been tossed into the area with some landing in the eye sockets.
  • Prague's astronomical clock is a landmark. The clock face is surrounded by medieval sculptures including the skeleton that represents Death.
  • A cross on a plain, unmarked headstone raises its profile over the hillside behind it.
