This photo is taken in a church that is located in a small town in Czech Republic and has been built in the 14th century. Since the 1960’s the church has been abandoned, until a few months ago. When the ceiling collapsed during a funeral service locals became afraid and boarded up the building. Since then services were held outside. The ghostly figures inside are actually from an art project (made by students) and represent the ghosts of Sudeten Germans which played a role in the history of the town. The ghosts were placed hoping to attract ‘tourists’ so that they could raise money for renovation works (thus this visit was with permission). Renovation is in full progress.
