Fijn plekje om te mediteren... Where are you going in such a hurry traveler? Stop … do not proceed; You have no greater concern, Than this one: that on which you focus your sight. Recall how many have passed from this world, Reflect on your similar end, There is good reason to reflect If only all did the same. Ponder, you so influenced by fate, Among the many concerns of the world, So little do you reflect on death; If by chance you glance at this place, Stop … for the sake of your journey, The more you pause, the further on your journey you will be. by Fr. António da Ascenção (translation by Fr. Carlos A. Martins, CC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos

This is certainly a bizarre chapel, although you have captured it well. And I agree with Nora... V.

This is a very haunting place, almost barbaric..

This makes me wonder about all the lives lost to make these walls. This is a startling and thought provoking image. V
