I KNEW that beer would make its way into the conversation at some point. 8`-)

And your beer. Don't forget your beer. That way if you dropped a can you could just jump in after it instead of worrying about all that decomposing green gunk from the ceilings. :-)

Good point. Thats wasn't the best combination of sentences, was it? 8`-)

OK, what I meant was that I got two different thoughts/feelings from looking at this photo. First was that the picture was incredibly impressive in the way it was put together - the colors, the centering, the look and feel of the slowly eroding iron and the murky water juxtaposed against the blue sky. Second was a claustrophobic feeling of being trapped and slowly sucked under water, which is something that scares the bejesus out of me when I think about it (which I try not to do very often <G>), and it is amazing that a simple photo could elicit all of this at once.

That better? :-)

And THAT'S 'cos there's monsters down there! :-)

This shot affected me too, but I wasn't sure what to say about it. It's very powerful, isn't it?

Yeah, I was thinking about which one of these would make the best setting for my pirate dance.

Amen, y'all. I think that's why I prefer the thought of 'sploring hospitals. I've been in so many that I know what to expect around most corners and in most basements and attics. But here - these things definitely gots monsters in 'em! :-)

Eeeeeeeek! You're right! Nessie, I am so sorry I confused you with a diplodocus! I needs new glasses! 8`-)

Hydrotherapy tubs used for that purpose look quite different than these tubs. The tub on the left is your basic "slab tub" used for people have physical disabilities or who are older/more frail. Their use decreases client and staff injuries because it lessens lifting injuries. Also, hydrotherapy tubs used as treatment in the above manner were used in mental health facilities and this is/was a developmental center.

Pretty incredible - the before and after shots are so impressive!

Great shot - gives the feeling of being trapped underwater.

This is one of your million dollar shots. The perspective is excellent, the colors are great, and you get an overall feeling of life in this old hull.

That's a tad depressing, huh? Makes me want to get out there and shore the thing up. :-)

That's actually a diplodocus sneaking out of the water disguised as a hoist . . .

Another great shot. I didn't think these would turn out to be quite this interesting!
