Maybe they were just random decorations put up by the staff. They wouldn't really have any personal meaning then...

(Love the way these photos make you think!)

God love you, Gennie x

Encore! :clapping:

Ok, it's a first. A photo on Opacity that's actually made me laugh out loud!

What a relief.

(See what I did there? Hmm?! *Groan!*)

I think those flowers are fabric. Looks like the stems are wire...

Amazing shot though. Are they lilies etched into the top corners of the slate?

Hey, nature's a good interior designer!

I adore the bustling feel of this shot. You're there on a mission, and the motion captured here really gets that across. Fabulous :)

Schrott = Scrap metal

Looks like it might be a bit broken :p

Is the lady on the right wearing a Salvation Army pin badge?

Isn't this location in England...? Funny that the photo should be called 'In the Fall' and not 'In the Autumn'.

I think there could be a lot less mystery behind this picture than first meets the eye. The frame doesn't look particularly old (we had a set of 6 in our house when I was a kid....I'm 28 ;), and the fact that it's titled leads me to believe that it's simply a decorative picture postcard. My Nan has Victorian postcards all over the place. Landscapes, portraits, animals, manors...the lot. They were really cheap and prolific; chiefly from market stalls all over the UK :)

The building is in the autumn of its life. Incredible colours, Motts.

That's exactly the kind of thing my best mate and I would've scrawled when we were in our early teens. Complete with the cute little star and the cack-handed attempt at arty writing :p

Brilliant photo though; I adore the way the light draws your eye up to the (albeit a bit daft) dark statement.

You can see a few of them, including the one in the photo, here:

Yeah...I'm going with the 'cat died peacefully in its sleep' theory.

If I don't, I may have to track the b*stards down who did this and excecute a slow and painful death. Which is not good for my pacifistic morals.

The more I see, the less I understand my fascination with shots like these. Initially I thought it was my curiosity being piqued: Who sat there? Who wrote that? What did it sound like when it was occupied? Why is that there...?

But then I see a photo like this. No human elements come into my mind...I'm just scared shitless; and I love it! Why does part of my brain keep telling me not to look at that photo because something's going to loom out of the darkness? And more to the point, why do I go on looking...?!

The mind boggles.
