Located behind a simple black door in the Montparnasse district of Paris is the most incredible and eerie network of tunnels that I have ever seen. The Catacombs are home to some six million skeletons, their skulls and bones all neatly stacked in mounds that run for miles beneath the streets of Paris. These pictures were taken in February 2006, my first visit to this necropolis. Walking through the dark, narrow tunnels I could hear the faint trickling of running water from the distant flooded passageways, and the air was heavy with the musty smell of decay. Walking through the seemingly endless rows of bones, I couldn't help but imagine I could feel the spirits of the long departed all around me, restless at being moved two centuries previously from their original resting place in the Cimetiere des Innocents.
