    These are all beautifully rendered, but I must admit that I was taken with the one entitled: Convent of St. Francis of Assisi exhibit, São Paulo, Brazil.

    Such imagination!

    Oh - thank you for sharing these, Tabatha. I quite love the one from Prague - you can never have too many animals in a Nativity scene, in my book!
