Where I live, this place would have to be guarded to keep the crypts from being vandalized for jewelry to buy drugs. Many people were and still are entombed with their favorite pieces of jewelry. So much has changed above since most of these people were entombed. What will this place look like in 50 years?

So beautiful. What a shame it has been neglected so. A cool reminder of the permanence of death.

I can imagine an old man sitting in that chair visiting with his young wife or girlfriend whom he had lost many years before. I love all your work, Motts, especially the Cemetery stuff. Thanks..

You should try the buildings in Calcitta, India

IT LOOKS AS IF THE CASKET HAD A CHILD IN THERE AND WAS REMOVED. CAREFULLY LOOKING AT IT YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF A CHILD THAT MAYBE HAD BEEN IN THERE AND THEN TAKEN OUT!!!

THE FLOOR GIVES IT A FLOATING EFFECT.

I WONDER IF THERE IS STILL THE SMELL OF DEATH STILL LINGERS?

THIS CEMETERY IS FROM FRANCE, MAYBE ON THE OUTSKIRTS

iT'S A MIRACLE NO ONE HAS TRIED TO VANDALIZE THE CRYPTS!

REMINDS ME OF PHANTASM THE MOVIE

Thank You Kid for the interpretation. Absolutely amazing!

Fabulous work, Mr. Motts! Truly a tribute to those gone before our time. Thank you very much for sharing your talents with us!

I wonder what he did back when he was alive?

Maybe both. Regrets, though... to have that written on your grave means something very sad in any light. It just perpetuates the memory of something left undone or something done needlessly, it defines the owner of the grave in death.

As for the photograph itself, the colours are subtle and beautiful, the lighting is soft and allows for the loneliness to really be felt. Very emotional piece.

Oooooo... perfect shot, and now my new wallpaper! Love the lighting and the composition to pieces!
