Very creative nightime view of this Spanish church ruin --- an impressive view! Do you have shooting details?

Between August 24 and September 7, 1937, loyalist Spanish Republican and rebel General Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War fought the Battle of Belchite in and around the town. After 1939 a new village of Belchite was built adjacent to the ruins of the old, which remain a ghost town as a memorial to the war.

The spans of the vaulted ceiling resembling the ribs of a skeleton makes this a somber reminder of the tragedy that took place here. Great image.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.
