There was a period of time (70s or 80s) where people were supposed to paint seclusion and time-out rooms Pepto-Bismol pink. There was some research to show it had an initial calming effect. Ironically, later research apparently showed that continued exposure to the color actually revved people up after the initial calming effect, but unfortunately it took a while for people to figure this out, and few people were in time out or seclusion for a short period of time. Horrid color, really. I can't tell if this is salmon, pink, or orange.

The perspective on this shot is awesome. I love how you lined it up. This really needs to be an example for people learning how to photograph - the lines are dead on and the perspective is out of this world!

OK - thanks!

I can't believe I am saying this, but I can actually see this as well. Kind of a ghoulish looking little girl, eh? Now I'll see this "face" every time I look at this shot.

Same here. Lemme know when it is going to be printed and I'll pre-pay for a copy.

Awwwwwww . . . . . . I don't want these to end!

The colors and texture in this picture are marvelous.

Truly awesome . . .

There is no small irony that this puts you in mind of stained glass windows in a church . . .

I love how you do these hall shots.

As usual, Mr. Motts, the colors and perspective are flawless. I was thrilled to see another set up tonight. Can't you spend your life entertaining and educating us with these pix? ;-)
Seriously, you need to put a lot of these pix together for a book and get them published somewhere.

Perfect perspective.

Incredible . . .

Pale green is supposed to be a "calming" color.
As well, hospitals started to use this color for their operating rooms back in the 30s because it is the complementary color of red, so when medical staff had to spend a lot of time in surgery there would be some visual relief. If they looked at white walls they would have green "after-images" from continuously looking at blood. Green walls also produce less glare than white walls.
Or so they tell me. :-)

Another extremely powerful shot - like the vine is trapped in prison or something.
