Church And Chapels

in #photography6 years ago

Today I took a different direction and ride through a couple of remote villages.

I saw a new face of Dalmatia. Religion has a big role in common people lives.

On the stretch of 10 km, I find quite a few religious objects.

The first one was this little chapel.

Here's the inside view.

I didn't want to disrespect privacy and I'll show you just a top of the grave of a young hunter by the road. There was no explanation for what happened to him.

I climbed one kilometre of the steep trail and there was another.

Next village, next church. This one with the cemetery.

I was shocked by the size of the tombs.

Never saw something like this.

Sorry, but it looks more like a garden shed or garage to me.

Here is the monument dedicated to the people from the village, killed in the world war II. by a fascist regime.

The wildflower and nice tranquil sunset for all dead souls.

Let them all rest in peace.

I managed to survive yet another climb without a heart attack.

Have a great day and keep an active mind and body.

See you tomorrow, my friends.

The temple is very sweet. This is the temple of God.

Muy buena las imagenes que nos traes hoy @oldtimer acerca de las Iglesias y Capillas en Croacia

I've been posting cemetery photos and have seen a few strange graves and cemetery monuments but nothing like you posted here. Some interesting, some strange. @melinda010100, have you seen this?
Is that a catholic chapel?
