...sorry, it begged to be done. Nice coloring on the bricks and the rusty metal.

This shot and the one before remind me of an excerpt from Mozart's Requiem:

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis, cum sanetis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.

(Grant them [the dead] eternal rest, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them, with Thy saints for ever, because Thou are merciful.)

What a great shot and unique find! Bravo Motts, bravo! Given the crapload of legal trouble you can get in for leaving somone's remains in something like this and it not being properly buried/entombed, I'm certain that no one is home. My guess: that casket was defective in some way and so it was left behind. It might also be a steel vault that a casket might have been put into pre-interment. It's hard to make out the dimensions of the thing.

It makes you want to run your hand along the surface. Such amazing coloring.

That had to be an eerie find for you Motts.

Good capture of depth. It really does make the place look bigger.

That one looks like it was made from cement. It's speckled with so many shades of black and white.

Right you are, Alex. Although not all cemeteries put the concrete slabs down under the markers as they can often make digging of graves and regular maintenance difficult. Raising and leveling markers was a pretty common task when I worked in a cemetery. But back to the picture...I'm curious if Motts used a filter on this or if he played with the color channels...or both.

High quality stainless steel is expensive, but I'm betting that it's cheaper than marble or granite. But even stainless steel will corrode given time and the elements. In this picture though, it really looks like the marker is made of stone. It's so sad to see a cemetery that neglected.

If they were looking to save money and keep the anonymity, I wonder why they didn't make arrangements to have the decedents cremated.

Could it be some different type of autoclave?

There's a lot of white light; something a little unusual in these kinds of shots. Is the stairwell really like that or Is this b/w or infrared at all?

You wouldn't think that old pealing paint would make such a great shot. Bravo Motts.

Okay, I know it's a dishwasher, but at first glance I thought...crematory. Sorry, just my morbid side talking out of turn.

Nice colors. It would be interesting to see another pic of this in a few years. I bet that vine will make itself quite at home.
