The final salt chapel

This was the last chapel we visited in the salt mine. I don't think the art is made from salt, but the chapel itself was definitely carved out of rock salt.

I've uploaded the last five pictures for this gallery this evening, several of them more for the stories that accompany them than the images themselves ;-). Thanks, everybody, for all your great comments and votes! I wasn't even sure at the time I was there if I was actually getting many usable pictures due to the lack of light, but I'm happy I had enough to put together a gallery to show people what a fascinating place the Wieliczka Salt Mine really is. If you get to Kraków, I highly recommend visiting it.
