Inside the skeletal ruins of a smallish red stone church, looking from the altar to the entrance. Only the arches and upper windows of the nave and the back wall remain. The floor is concrete with modern, minimalist "pews" made of old steel beams. modern buildings are visible between the arches, and the overcast sky is visible through the roofless ceiling.
