Welcome Back!!

NICE!

I agree with SmarterPrimate -- a very strange set up though...

I can't imagine trying to clean all of those little windows. That would drive me to the point of needing to be admitted!

Most likely the drawers were part of a Sacristy, where the Presider prepared for services. Garments and other regularly used supplies are normally kept right off the alter in many Churches. Perhaps this explains the drawers, etc.

This looks like something out of Doctor Zhivago...very cool...

I think most people start out with goodness in their hearts but life experience, influences, and choices change things. There are some people who live in totally disfunctional and seemingly impossible circumstances and even so, despite everything, beat the odds. Then on the other hand, there are those that are brought up in a positive, loving, comfortable lifestyle, and they turn out to be real losers. My dad used to say, "ya gotta wanna." - In other words, if you want to make something of yourelf, you will. If you don't, you won't. It's all up to YOU. My family is a perfect example. My brother and sister were reaised thinking that the world owes them a living....it's been a difficult life for them and it keeps getting worse. They just don't learn. I am 54 yrs old, not rich but try to do the right thing. Follow your heart and be kind to people - it makes life sweeter!

I'm too am a full fledged Mottsaholic.

I enjoy indulging too . .. but often, I have to settle for a nice "lonely chair-ee" coke.

Sorry Motts..I just couldn't resist.

Awesome! I get dizzy looking up!

There is some very strange looking equipment here!

Very interesting -- nice shot!

There are no "creepy" horses! There's a good reason for that expression! He looks like he wants to get the heck out of there - as if he's saying "HELP!"
