Thanks, Mookster and Hntr!

X2cme, what is that pot? I'm assuming by the comment that accompanied it that there's water inside that was cold. Was it possibly a container of holy water in some Catholic church?

Yep you got it! It was the blessed 'ICE' instead of blessed 'water' at the Wies Church in Wieskirche, Germany - It was incredibly cold and incredibly beautiful...

Guess I need to find the thread for photos of religious places so I can post photos of the church itself! Outside was unassuming, but inside felt like you walked into heaven itself!

Thanks... but this wasn't the money pot, they kept that inside just at the edge of the pews, couldn't sit down without passing it by! Pretty clever!

This was the Holy Water which was TOTALLY FROZEN all the way through, not even just a little surface ice,,, it was SOLID as a Glacier!

OK, I translate the "spende" phrase ala babelfish and it came out "donate for the organ" so I thought you had to put coins in there.

Shot from a bridge in downtown Puerto Vallarta. A couple of little kids are cooling off in the Rio Cuale. Amazingly, a lot of people still wash their clothes on the rocks in this river too -- except maybe during the rainy season when everything washes down from the mountains and the river gets super muddy.
