Once again Mr Motts i am very impressed and i am very appreciative of the time and effort you put in to your site. There are a handful of sites out there but yours is the best.

I would also like to say i enjoy reading all the posts and i find all the people in the site to be very likable, funny and enjoyable as well. Last to (Larry D) very very good point about this set very well put.

Ditto to my previous comment.

With those trees falling over like that and the black and white it reminds me of the "Tunguska event" For anyone reading this who dose not know what the Tunguska event was. On June 30 1908 at 7:14 a.m a comet entered the earths atmosphere and fragment at an altitude of 3–6 mi near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia. It caused a blast as powerful as a thermonuclear bomb. About 1,000 times as powerful as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The blast knocked over trees blow out window and scared the crap out of farmers over an area 830 sq mi wide. It estimated that the shock wave would have caused an earthquake measured about 5.0 on the Richter scale. Needles to say man does not have anything on the cosmos.

Sorry for the rant i am kind of an astronomy geek although that would explain all the mold and moss in the building lol.

Mr Motts what where these cards made of, if it is possible to remember such a thing. I am really shocked they are in such pristine condition. Or did you find them in a drawer locked away and protected all these years. Ether way they make for a cool photo with the very unnatural colors of the cards on the very natural color of the moss. I have always loved contrast.

Man if you sat in one of those chairs provided it didn't collapse on you, you would probably need a tetanus shot afterwords. I'm just surprised there isn't a huge portobello mushroom growing under the seat.

Man that has got to be the healthiest looking mold i have ever seen. It is greener then the lawn at my old house. So dose this mean that if i buried an old auditorium in my back yard my lawn would look better then if i used a totally organic fertilizers :)

Thanks for the new gallery Mr Motts, this pic makes me so melancholy. Even though i know it is a hospital it still gives me this image of a high school on graduation day. That fast forwards through time and as the students grow older the school grows older tell both the school and the students start to show their age. The students and the school locked together by the fond memories played out there and as those memories begin to fade in the students minds the school fades a little more.

Ah this takes me back to my time in the army. I never liked climbing the rope because i was always afraid of losing my grip and falling. This is stupid i know do to the fact that i was airborne. I could jump out of a C-130 at 1200' but the rope totally kicked my butt.

(Kaipirinha) That is a good point it could be some kids trying to be funny as well.

Thanks Mr Motts for the new gallery i have become quit addicted to your work and this gave me my fix for the week Yet again good work and looking forward to the next gallery.

Did John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson coming in and demand you give them Marsalis Wallis property back and then ask you "You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France"

As disgusting as this is it is also an indicator of a deep psychological problem and in that it is very sad. A large number of the homeless community are homeless do to there mental instability. Take for instance people suffering from schizophrenia. In many cases they ether end up in prison or homilies. It is such an irony that this type of vandalism happened in an old state hospital considering the Reagan administration started a mass closing of state hospitals back in the 80's as a means of cutting the budget for as they looked at it unneeded hospitals. Well i better git off politics here it just frustrates me. They let the equipment rot in the hospital but close the place to save money forcing the mentally ill out on the streets to git pick up by the police which just costs more money and helps no one.

Now medically speaking there are a few mental conditions that carry this symptom and with out evaluating the individual this would be hard to determine but in some who suffering from dementia/alzheimer's this can surface in the last stage of the disease. This is just an assumption for there are a whole list of conditions that can have this characteristic. Ether way it is just sad and scary to think there is this disturbed person running around instead of getting help.

This photo reminds me of the first world war. I can imagine a Prussian officer blowing a whistle to announce a coming bombardment.

Her is a video of a BAT being shot down. It is hard to see because it is so far away but you will git the idea, ah the good old days.

Holy crap i have not seen one of those in 4 years and this web page was the last place i thought i would see one. I served 6 years in the army ( 3rd battalion 4Th air defense artillery regiment 82nd airborne ) I was both a manpads ( Man-portable air-defense systems) and an avenger crew member and yes that's a BAT alright. trace63b put it best we used them for training. Basically the BAT is a fake missile in it doesn't have a war head so it wont blow up. Like trace63b said it is used to provide a heat signature for the stinger missile that dose blow up.
Well Mr Mott's you brought back memories for me with this photo lol.
