Today, I've been at the Almudena Cemetery, one of the largest in Western Europe. I carried my camera. There are tombs and tombs and more tombs. A giant necropolis. Hundreds, thousands, millions of graves...



A true "city of the dead". Five million souls. More than Matrix's living population itself. Near the entrance, there is a chapel. This chapel:


And at the top of its dome, an Angel of Doom:


He remains seated, quiet, with his trumpet on his knees. He patiently waits. Because this Angel of the Lord is not in a hurry. He's just waiting. Waiting for....

....the Apocalypse....



When the seventh seal is broken, the Angel will stand up and sound his trumpet. And the dead will rise from their graves...

And then, to many, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth...




Weeping and gnashing of teeth...
