This just amazes me. Talk about being appreciative that I am able to breathe on my own and can walk around whenever and where ever I want . . . . .

Boy, those are huge!

Super angle on this shot . . .

What great muted colors! It almost looks like the ceiling was done in black & white and the rest in color.

Another great one! I really like the play of the light.

Now this is a FANTASTIC shot! Great atmosphere!

Em, you KNOW what happens to Earthlings who are picked up by aliens, don't you . . . . . . ? =8-o

Now HERE'S a face if anyone is looking for one. ;-)

No, definitely the Mother Ship getting ready to leave . . .

GREAT angle - makes me a little sea-sick, though . . .

Another swell slab tub! ;-)

Wowza! I woulda had NO idea the fresco was painted! From the last pic I would have assumed it was carved directly into the building's surface.

It's great you have a new batch of pix - I've been eagerly awaiting them!
The front of this building is very interesting with the fresco - can't wait to see it closer . . .

I didn't want to post this in case someone got offended (and if you take offense I apologize in advance), but speaking of song lyrics, all 3 of the following songs have "leave me alone I want to go home" or something similar in them (Big D and the Kids Table - "G.L.D.", Marty Robbins - "Devil Woman", and the Beach Boys - "Sloop John B"). I was actually humming "Devil Woman" under my breath when I saw this the first time.

As an FYI and as your friendly curbside consulting psychologist this particular message is not something I personally would be too worried about unless there was a lot more to go with it. Truthfully it sounds a lot more like someone signing their yearbook at the end of the school year, or someone writing on the wall of some place they aren't supposed to be.

With any interpretation of notes, messages, and pictures, you have to have the context or you will make some pretty piss-poor diagnoses. Ironically, this is exactly the reason why so many people ended up locked in asylums in the past. All it took was the context of thinking that someone might be "disturbed" and then the presence of any note, message, or picture would be reinterpreted as a sign of sickness. That was the entire message of the Rosenhan experiment someone mentioned in another posting - that as soon as you are told that someone is mentally ill you start looking at everything in that context and omitting anything that smacks of mental health. If you know this note is on the wall of a secure facility it becomes a sign of mental illness. If you see this in someone's high school yearbook it doesn't look that "sick" at all.

However, I admit that it's always more fun for people to think they are eavesdropping on the ravings of disturbed minds - until they have to be in the same room with them. ;-)
