Well, Hans I think it is not a typical desktop theme. I is not my cup of tea. Keep to share your wonderful landscape shots. :(

Like Cindy I insist on getting more explanations from you, Hans dear !!!! What, who done it, who painted, where are the bodies and what is the meaning of the dates - some dates of death are my year of birth - 1959 !!! Please, Hans, let us have more information !

I wouldn’t as much mind having my skull put on a display shelf. But I would draw the line at having someoe scrawling on my cranium, Great photo!

some explanation from a friend :)

"Skulls and bones fill the fascinating Charnel House on the grounds of the catholic church in Hallstatt. Due to lack of burial space in the town, bodies were dug up ten years after burial to make room for the grave's next occupant. The bones and skulls were dried, decoratively painted with their owners' names, and placed here. They stopped the practice a few years ago, due to a rising preference for cremation over burial. "
