Tuesday Photo Challenge: Mystery
Today I am participating for the first time – as it moves into its second year – in the Tuesday Photo Challenge hosted by Frank at Dutch Goes The Photo!
The theme for this week is ‘Mystery’. This photograph shows part of the astonishing painted ceiling in the crypt of the village church of Gargilesse, in central France. Clearly, it’s a religious – specifically Christian and even more specifically Roman Catholic – theme, and as such some of the imagery is familiar, but there’s also some that’s a mystery, at least to me.

Seems to me the art depict some sort of torture devices.
On closer inspection, I see a crucifix (note the nails on the cross piece), plus a scourge on the left. Quite gruesome enough, though.
