god has some explaining to do...

i think i just found a good enough reason to enter a church. on the other hand, if you already think religious buildings are slightly creepy you may not agree.

ladies and gentlemen: eglise saint-merri, paris...



yeah, that's the ceiling, and to say this is awesome is an understatement. i would love to know the reasoning behind a) the chairs attached to the roof and walls, and b) the person trapped in the seemingly huge disc above the aisles. and who the hell is that meant to be? god? a sinner, imprisoned in a pane of glass, much like zod in superman? if so, maybe the chairs are just collateral damage from the ass-kicking.

more photos...









if you know anything about it, please speak. i truly love this holy interior, whatever the explanation, and believe it should be rolled out worldwide. hopefully this is a permanent fixture and not just a temporary piece of art.

(by the way, regarding the source of all this: i randomly found that first photo whilst searching for another picture to go in the ceiling porn post and couldn't believe my luck)



thanks for dropping by. why not grab the feed, check out the archive or follow me on twitter so i can let you know when i go for a dump and stuff. otherwise, here are comments from other people...
