Well of Skulls Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Well of Skulls at the catacombs of St. Francisca Church!

If you are signed up on a tour of the Lima City, then you surely are going to be taken to the St. Francisca Church, and you'd be delighted you visited it.

While no photography is allowed inside the church, the catacombs of the church are an exception.

This is the well where the archaeologists have arranged the skulls that they found. The well is about 15 metres deep, and is filled with human bones upto 10 metres.

Hi Nivas
I already saw a photo just in the same point od your, but I have to agree that your photo is much more well done.
Good lights, DOF, POV sharpness and history.
well done.

This looks really incredible! The photograph is really good, it reminds me of the Skull Chapel in Czermna, Poland (http://www.kudowa.net.pl/at_kudowa_kaplica.php). The page is unfortunatelly only in polish, but the photo speaks for 1000 words they say...
