This is what happens when two posters hit "Submit" at the same time. *lol*

Boo - I'll give you a simple answer to that; Lynne takes this very personally because she's an employee of a State Hospital and would like to do her part to clear up some of the gross misconceptions laymen seem to have about the mental health care giving field.

Tom - Jesus Christ is often referred to as "The Lamb of God" because he was so peaceful. There is also the belief that when the Lamb lays with the Lion, there will be world peace and redemtion. The Lamb is a major icon for a few different things within the Christian lexicon; however, it almost always means the pure and innocent or, in this case, Jesus Christ.

I cannot comment on any one individual photo in this gallery. It's more like reading a book to me ... a complete story of strength, sadness, desparation and lost hope.

Thank you very much, Motts, for delving into a new way of showing off a fabulous Urban Ruin.

Candace, more than thanks to you for freezing your ass off and being the beautiful, tragic person you've portrayed in this set. I'm awestruck by your ability to convey raw emotion without saying a word.

Dash, thanks deserved to you as well for being the unseen.

Wow ... just ... .wow.

~Me doesn't have to reveal anything about ~Me to anyone ~Me doesn't feel right giving out that kind of information to.

P Culotta, worry less about ~Me and more about our friend Mr. Webster and his good buddy Mr. Roget.

Once I was told what the image actually was, it wasn't that difficult to see. It's a "Gingerbread House," it just happens that Motts only got part of it in the picture.

Although, the multi-eyed monster thing is what popped out to me at first, too. ;-)

Amen, Jane.

Um, dude ... the building was MADE in 1909. That doesn't mean it wasn't used until well into the latter part of the century. Labelers have been around since at least the late '50s - early '60s.

So, in your own eloquent words:

UH DUH!!

I did a bit of searching, but can't find a year. The part that was the victim of arson was built in the '20s or '30s, though, from what I can find.

Welcome, by the way. Always nice to hear from a lurker now and then.

Herr Doktor, leave it to you to point out their resemblence to .... yeah. They do look phallic.

You were that for your Hubby and I betcha Peter will have a little sibling 'fore long.

Weasel - You went to Cat-lick school? Well .. that explains a LOT.

Just kidding, sweets. Luv you.

Thing - Um ... Mr. Motts does not reveal information about the places he visits other than through his photos.

It's kind of funny seeing Candace without all her stage garb on. It's a good thing ... but still kind of strange.

I've always called you that. You just now noticed? Beer musta kicked in.
