thanks a lot Its not lopsided..the building suffers from subsidence so no walls are straight and the floor is not flat .. The camera was at an angle to the art so I think this has created an optical illusion of it being unlevel...

Great capture, your lighting here is quite dramatic and the warm tones give it nice atmosphere. I love places like this, have always found this kind of thing interesting and all the history contained within. Found a lil info about this place and the statue [link]
"The crypt, which frequently floods, features a statue by Antony Gormley, called "Sound II", installed in 1986, and there is a modern shrine to Saint Swithun."

Hehe, I like it.
Looks sinister but interesting at the same time, like in a suspens movie walking trough catacombs. The lightning effects gives the envy to discover more.

I can imagine how great that would look with the right lighting and all that water

Nice pic! As you may be able to tell from my gallery I like 'claustrophobic' pics, despite not really being an unconditional fan of small/cramped spaces.

parallel-pam In reply to HGChris [2006-09-05 20:32:07 +0000 UTC]

thanks yup.. it was rather claustrophobic down there..there is actually a wrought iron fence in front when the crypt is closed so I had to stick the lens between the railings and it was quite tricky to compose the shot with the camera being in such an inflexible position.
