Hell. The Way Out

Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 1 May 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Part of another one of the many rooms at Buidwas Abbey. In this one I tried to imagine being in hell and finding a doorway out to the land in between heaven and hell. The door was however locked, so here I stay.

Your honest opinion is welcomed thank you and in return you shall have mine.

Well, the light coming out of the door holes looks very hopeful that the land of hope and beauty is not very far now.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

You're getting me worried, like in a scene of an horror movie... I could not stay in this place...
For the frame it's difficult to see it... all around the picture itself is black....
