"...get back to the creepiness" ? Yes, some photos do have a creepy aspect but I've never visited Motts photos looking for creepy...I visit for the beauty that can be contained in decay, in the natural processes that occur after something has become unused and abandoned, and/or for the artistic flair of his photos.

I found nothing scary about this photo. My first thought when seeing the clown abandoned on the stairs was "how sad". This was something that used to entertain and make children (and maybe some adults) laugh and now its abandoned...discarded...forgotten.

I never, ever would have believed a photograph of rain gutter could be a work of art! YOU made it happen, Motts. All I can say is "Wow, how beautiful".

Bethany - that was immediately my first thought, too, when I saw this picture. Sorry, Motts, I don't think the soap dispenser is ever going to be forgotten! :-)

Has anyone noticed that it seems you can see straight through the top floor to the other side. The top floor is either 'really' empty or the windmills in my mind are acting up. :-o

Wow, this hall REALLY reminds me of my dorm hall when I was in college!

I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, eldokid, but it does look like it's sagging a bit to me, too.

Motts, you haven't been back to "see yourself" ? You don't have to go all the way back there to see yourself....just look in a mirror. :-)
So very sorry, but I just HAD to say that!

I know this is a bit late for a response, but Colin, that's not a urinal (although I suppose some have been used as urinals) it's acutally a sink.

I know I'm posting late....still working my way through all the older galleries (I definitely spend too much time on each picture and comments!) I can't wait until I've finished the older galleries so I can start looking at the newer ones but at this rate it'll take me another year.

Love this shot, Motts. You have such an eye for setting up a photograph.

When initially looking at the comments, I had the exact same thought as Karma.
Love the comment posted by Ouroboris....laughed out loud! It's a great thing I'd just swallowed my lunch or it'd have been all over my computer screen! :-)

What does that label say..."Ward RN"? I wonder if this was someone room or maybe there was a nurse's office on this ship?

I like that there was an Osprey nest...the death of this ship provided a home and life for the Osprey and hopefully its offspring.

Terrence, you said that so well. My feelings exactly.

HA, Thanks, cat..Now I have to clean the coffee off of my computer. That comment was great, really caught me off guard.
