I could not come up with a caption that did not sound sacrilegious to me.
The crucifixion scene above the litter and bench makes a complicated story.

This is the same staircase that appeared at the right edge of yesterday's Green Bicycle" photo. I did not bring out the stone texture as much as it would be overwhelming.

The plaque beside the door reads "SV MARTINA" - and I believe it is St. Martin's Roman Catholic church. I'm not sure whether it is a side entrance to the church or to a building in the complex. It is on a main square in Ljubljana Slovenia.

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

I've noticed that, as in France, there are some indelicate people who leave their garbage just anywhere. Nice shot of this staircase.

A strange shot : the litter, the cross, the asymetric stairs. An interesting result but garbage is not a nice thing to see

If placing the bench there is a sign of the church's philanthropic spirit, perhaps the church will clean up the trash.

@Hiro: perhaps the photographer should have done a public service and cleaned it up. but, alas, he did not.

You have composed this in an unusual way, capturing these combination of elements together.

I see, alas, that Christ has not succeeded in transforming human waste into recycling !
In Slovenia, as elsewhere, where man goes, dirt stays!

That is a complex looking scene although it has a lot of interesting elements to look at.

The crucifix in the window, the empty green bench and the trash certainly makes an interesting scene. I don't think that I could come up with a good title for it either. "Untitled" is perfect. Wonderful composition.

Nothing escapes you when you travel. This image is perfect, the perspectives are well adjusted.

Well done Harry!

I really like this staircase that leads to this Christ on his cross.
It is as if we, visitors, had to climb our own way of the cross to go and greet him.

Probably the biggest sacrilege will be the litter that people left on the ground next to the green bench.
The evil heart of man is a force beyond divine intervention.
