Last Saturday I went on a delightful day trip to a small town called Kutná Hora. This is a town famous for it’s cathedrals as well as the ‘Bone Church’. Now as you may recall, I have already visited the catacombs underneath Paris so I was a bit skeptical as to whether this small church would live up to them.  I was delightfully surprised. The Bone Church and the catacombs are completely different concepts. Whereas the Parisians seemed far more interested in storing a large amount of bodies, this Czech church had the goal of arranging the bones in an attractive manner. Instead of stacks of bones with simple designs, the Bone Church had extremely elaborate structures built out of femurs and adorned with hundreds of skulls. I had a bit of trouble capturing anything really amazing but here is a photo of one of the very simple designs. I will play around with some of my other photos and see if I can get a more impressive photo up sometime soon. There was also a wedding going on during our visit to one of the cathedrals and I quickly snapped this from my hip so that they wouldn’t notice my creeping disposition. This design was outside a Cathedral finished in 1894. A friend of mine pointed out that if one were to quickly glance at it they may think it reads something completely different than what the designer likely intended. In other news, here is my address just in case you need me to dispose of some evidence for you or something. Alternatively, I suspect that mailing yourself here would be very cost effective in comparison to a plane ticket.
