Zero #8 Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is a view of the interior of the ossuary at the Phnom Penh Killing Fields. This shows just one shelf out of very many others. The building is about 20/30 feet tall, and is filled from floor to roof with the bones of those executed by the Khmer Rouge.

In PS:
just curves for contrast, sharpened and border added.

Great Shot Morgan, even if it's not amusing.
The choice of B&W is a good one for this picture.
Killing Fields is one of my favorite movies, very impressive, showing the horror in which humans fall too often.

It´s so gooooooood to remind this episodes of history. I apreciate your photo because of that, but also for the compositions, it contribute to confirm the horror due to the perspective full of bones. Congratulations from Madrid.
