I'd design the entry of a house like this.

WHY do people put clothing on dogs? (unless you actually live where it's 30 below, maybe, and your dog has his/her own outdoor gear). Sorry, random thought just slipped out there.....

Thanks for mentioning that it was empty :-). There's NO way I could have seen this and NOT looked inside if it was unlocked.....;-)

Hmmm. Interesting that in such a damp, moldy place, there would be enough of a lack of moisture to dry the cat out, instead of having it mold/rot as would be expected. Physics.

Great shot, Motts. Images like this always sort of "virtually populate" the places for me. Discarded or forgotten mundane, everyday personal items always add a distinctive, "actual human" element, and help to remind us that this was "home" for someone long gone.

Purtysouthern--Geez!! Yep. I agree. Those Teddy Ruxpin things were horrible!!. Guess I'm just not into dolls that move/talk. It's just not RIGHT!! (shudder)....Dolls alone (especially clown dolls) are bad enough!!!

Medieval dungeon?

RacheyBachey--"Picture Candy"....I LIKE it..:-)
I might have to steal that one, and oh-so-slyly inject it into a conversation with my photographer friend...(cheesy, I know, but it IS a good one :-) ) You'll be immortalized ! ;-)

Reminds me of a college classroom of mine. There was one woman who wore very high, spike heels to class almost every day, and of course, she had to take her time sauntering down the steep stairs/aisle to the front row, making sure everyone noticed her.... She only stumbled once (but luckily, didn't quite fall, anyway); we noticed that she sat closer to the back/top row after that.....;-)

Look closely at the tiny tiles. They're not just in plain square grid pattern, and all the same size, but have a bit of their OWN pattern to the layout. Imagine how long that took (unless the tiles were in pre-made sheets...?) Love the attention to detail in these old buildings :-)

Wow. The world before modern technology--definitely before video feeds replaced in-person viewing.

Wow. Didn't expect there to be that many, either. Eerie shot.

Great composition :-)

Geeeeeezzz!!! Eeew. When I was a kid, I had nightmares for years about something like this trying to bite my feet off..(you know, "don't let your feet hang over the edge, or something will bite them!".....HORRIBLE!!!!! I can't even stand to have dolls in my house, let alone any kind of clown (shuddder)........ What's even creepier is that it looks like it was meant to be "smiling".....Thanks, Motts; now I have to dig out the night light I usually only have for guests to find the bathroom at 3 a.m.....Appropriately creepy, though.....:-)

Oh, thanks, Lynne. You too :-). Just been busy. Always have to come back, though, to see what new stuff was on here. Great as usual. I've told alot of people about this site, and now my MOM loves it :-). She's been a professional photograper for about 14 years now, and was impressed. Anyway, have a good turkey day, everybody!
