About this category
Join us on reverent journeys through abandoned churches, chapels, monasteries and other religious buildings. These sacred spaces range from humble tin tabernacles and mission halls to grand cathedrals and cloisters. They are now quiet relics of worship, and we respectfully photograph their weathered altars and stained glass to preserve their stories.
