You may have been less than thrilled with the quality of this set, but I was incredibly impressed (as always). If this is substandard work for you, it's easy to see why so many call you a Master.

Thank you again for this site and all you do.

Eldokid, that's exactly what I was thinking. Imagine all the fingers that have pushed these buttons over the years... never even thinking of the future for these simple mechanisms of industry when they no longer require pushing.

Almost looks like a big ol' pastry-decorating bag.

Almost.

Haunting.

Stunning photography, Motts. What can I say about you that hasn't already been said? Maybe that seeing your amazing work makes me happier than a redneck in Walmart?

No?

Okay, well, you know how I feel about your photos. If I won the lottery, I'd buy huge prints of all my favorite Opacity shots to decorate my house with, and I'd fund your urban ex trips for the next ten years exclusively. Now back to the pictures...

The inmates here definitely paid for their crimes, doing much harder time than most convicts do in these modern times.

Don't feel bad, Charity. Opacity has been my homepage for about a year now, and I still haven't gotten all the way through every single gallery.

It's truly amazing and inspiring all that Motts has done to ensure the photographic immortality of so many doomed and desolate locations. He's definitely my hero! ;-)

Amelia, you're absolutely NOT annoying. Thank you so much for the updates on the condition of this magnificent structure. Any type of knowledge on the current status of these sites as well as history and memories of people who've been there are always appreciated by Motts' loyal fans.

Thanks for the new gallery, Motts! As always, you deliver in fine fashion. Now, onto the photos....

That's what my back door is going to look like in about a month, if my Labrador has her way. She could eat through just about anything... and it appears that a relative of hers has been at this door.

I love the top arch on the door. Don't see that often!

I love the contrast... lines, rectangles, squares, and one round tire in the center foreground. Beautiful!

Motts, you are so talented. You truly have a gift, you just have an eye for the perfect shot. I dream of being half the visionary that you are - and of being able to explore with the carefree abandon you enjoy as well. But for now, thank you for the breathtaking pictures and for sharing them all with us, your devoted fans!

Happy Holidays, too. <3

There is something incredibly heart-wrenching about the second picture... the forgotten artificial appendage that once held the dreams of a child's mobility.

Geez, cardboard filters?? Is there really any benefit to that at all?
