Pitfall

In front of the altar was the shaft that brought the casket up and down from the public area. The control handle can be seen in the top right corner of the structure.

I love how the light seems to reseed into the darkness of the void.

This would have been really cool in B&W.

That's funny Alexis! I can just imagine a free fall downwards for some reason.

that is a creepy but amazing shot all at once, I have never seen anything like that before in a church. Mr. Motts did you go down there to see if there were tunnels or anything like that?

That would be more scary walking in dark and falling in that pit of darkness. Brr so creepy.
