Paris - Catacombs (1/1)

Some people may find this gallery disturbing. It's full of photos of piled up skeletons.

Lighting in the tunnels. It was brighter than that makes it look, but not too bright. Catacomb Different builds of walls. The beginning of the burial area. Oh. My. There were about 1000 of these little nooks, each perhaps 8 feet (2.5m) long and 5 feet (1.5m) tall, containing thousands of bones each. Wow. Note the symmetry in the placement of the sculls. Pillars holding up the cieling. Suddenly made me feel claustrophobic. Note again the pattern in the skulls; looked like two doors or something. Quarried cieling to make a dome shape.
