Catacombes!

The catacombs in Paris is hundreds of kilometers of abandoned limestone quarries, part of which have been turned into a depository for the bones of over six millions former citizens. It was extremely difficult to photograph down there because they do not allow you to use flash or a tripod. The lights are specially placed to not shine on the bones so that they can not be photographed. Luckily, I took a few successful shots and made friends with a security guard who let me use my flash a few times.
