these are really great! Do you know what the name of the twin towers in #5 is?

colavitos ghost: 18th Oct 2006 - 15:04 GMT

Like they said, amazing!

Also, those PT's seem to be an interesting counterpoint to the Western phenomenon of Graf Trux.

Laura : 18th Oct 2006 - 16:14 GMT

Little Ukraine- he's not sure what the name is. Sorry :(

Peter: 18th Oct 2006 - 16:21 GMT

The pic number ten ..... in the right side with a crux and a dove inside the red heart..... this is "Universal do Reino de Deus" Church, a famous brazilian neo-pentecostal church that is spreading world-wide (over 160 countries ... a very polemic institution by the way.
