The peeling and curling paint makes the different layers attractive, almost like multi colour leaves.

The paint flakes on the walls look like green leaves. (Perhaps why Mr Motts named this photo Leaves).

Good point Chrysalis.

Right away I thought of 7-UP. Maybe MamaToFiveInPA will think so too??? Yellow and green, the colours of 7-UP.

That is gorgeous. It would make a great shot and great wallpaper if cropped a bit to have only the brick and tile wall. Now THAT's the way to let light and air in without having the ugly metal bars or mesh.

I wonder why the window is in the middle of the door?

I agree with everyone. Usually a railing is a vertical and horizontal with a lump at the join. This is curving and smooth all the way. Neat.

Good old Leica cameras long gone. I'd hate to fall off the edge of that platform.

Good one, Chrysalis :) LOL

It's quite sombre with the darker blue.

How amazing that 99% of the paint is off, completely exposing the plaster or cement, without having the paint hanging in strips and folds.

I bet that would provide some free hot, or at least warm, water.

Oh, first comment again. Love the "water" colours of light green mold on the ceiling and aqua on the walls. Very aquatic looking, as Mr. Motts says.

Lots of bars over the windows, and a barred door in front of the regular door. Wow.

I wonder why they built the door frames into the room by the width of each door, i.e. the doors are hinged about 32 inches away from the room walls. Maybe to prevent the doors from opening out into the corridor, while still opening outwards from the room. ?
