I love the black hollow rectangle half way down the corridor, it makes a great contrast to the yellow and green.

There seem to be nice red and white tiles on the floor.

Fabulous angles, and colours (greens, yellow, greys, whites). From what you're saying Mr. Motts, I gather the hole turned to the left out of sight and went right through the wall to the other side, to crawl through.

It looks like those things you see at buffets or BBQ's. LOL

A spiral stone staircase, that's unusual. Was it going to an attic level?

Great information re Asclepius and caduceus, thanks Mr. Motts. Now who would steal only heads?

Wow, that looks like a narrow door, and look at the thickness of the walls.

I agree, eldokid. Seems to be an isolation room, and the window is in a corridor.

Thanks for the explanation re. the apparent size of the door vis-a-vis the frame, I thought that was perhaps the reason. At first I was trying to figure out if the right side was a wall, but then saw it is a door.

By the way, thanks Mr. Motts for the great historical story and information at the beginning of this gallery and for the old photos. I forgot to mention this at the first photo comment page.

I'm thinking along the lines of Fla.Gator. To me they look like mens' and womens' toilets with the room to the left going off into the right background, and the room with the red floor going off to the right. Once again, Mr. Motts' great eye for composition has not just taken an ordinary shot of floor tile, but has lined it up and given great angles, perspective and texture.

The door seems to be open, judging from the slight angle of the bottom edge of the door versus the frame below it.

Second comment, yea! Love the perspective, focussing on where the two corridors join, and including the left and right corridors and the great blues and greens.

It's such a peaceful scene, and the balcony and details look so attractive, and then you notice that the entire floor is missing. You don't want to just blindly walk through the door here, your first step would be your last.

The red and blue of the door are great accents for the neutral rest of the photo. Why is the padding on the outside of the door? (You can see the room's far corner in the left side of the shot.)

Two big doors telling the little door "You go down first and we'll follow". :)
