They DO remind me of office cubicles!!

Fascinating...it puts everything into perspective. There were once real people roaming these halls. What were they like?? What ever became of them??

Most of my household plants end up looking this way. :-)

I think the lack of any kind of privacy or personal space alone would cause me to go a little mad.

Remember the movie "Creepshow"?? The part where Stephen King plays this simpleton farmer who discovers this "thing" from another planet, and it takes over everything (including him), covering all surfaces with a mossy-lloking green substance?? That's what this photo reminds me of.

If one can look at a painting, no matter how simple it might be, and have their imagination sparked...then it's worth it.

That picture made my heart jump a bit to say the least!! :-O
And, thank you, Acuteward, for spreading the info. about mesothelioma. My Father-In-Law died from the disease in 1997. He was a navigator during WWII, as well as working on boats as a hobby thereafter, and we suppose that one or the other (or both) contributed to him getting this horrible disease. The survival rate is less than 5% with mesothelioma. It is a very deadly type of cancer.

Looking at that makes me very claustrophobic!!

What a gorgeous shot- the sky looks perfect!!

Motts, please DO be careful!! We want your brilliant photography around for a bit longer, you know.
BTW- great photo!! Thank You.

Alright, who slipped Gonzo the Haldol?? :-)

I had a tricycle just like that when I was a child- red and black.

Shytown, excellent statement!! And this photo is haunting, regardless of wether the children were visitors or patients. It speaks of lost innocence to me.

If they had these little tid bits painted on the wall in the lab, don't you hate to see what was painted on the wall in the OB-Gyn room. :-)

I think it's a brilliant saying, not morbid in the slightest. We are a society that shuns death, hoping that if we ignore it, it will go away somehow. Unfortunately, that is not true. We all die- this is simply a fact of life. Medical personnel are more acutely accepting of this then most. It is a saying that commands us to respect and learn from those who have gone on before.
And if you think that little saying is morbid, I invite you to research Victorian death customs during the 1800's...since life was more fragile for our ancestors, death became something that they not only recognized, but honored with elaborate rituals and rules.
