Church of St. Barbara, high altar by Helen Betts

Definitely a very dark but very beautiful church! The crucifix (at top, but not too visible) is said to date from the early 15th century.

I like this longer view of the altar. So much to see. It is magnificent.

The gold really glitters from the darkness. The tress are an interesting feature - left over from Christmas? V

stunning symmetry and a marvelous colour palette...patterns galore too..religion brings mixed messages, yet certainly a strong sense of design and purpose...
