LoL Motts, I went to dictionary.com with that word and I'm like wtf? Some people just don't appreciate fine art *sigh*

It's like a fleeting glimpse of what once was. I'm not sure what you don't understand about the photo, so if this sounds elementary, don't take offense. You read the comment right under the photo, right? What its showing is a wall with badly peeling paint, with the word "LOVE" eitched into the wall. Apparently this was a patient room. It's basically something to ponder. Who etched this? Why? Were they actually a patient or was this someone who came by later? Was this done while the hospital was still open? It basically brings to light some of the questions explorers and those of us who look at these photos have. Who was here last? What happened here?

Hmm, my parents are going to wonder why under "Internet History" it shows I've been looking at body freezers... o_0 XD
Anyways, yes, the doctors had no drawers. Sounds like ~Me's kinda place, eh? LOL

Actually, I don't quite recall. The room with the bodies was adjacent to the autopsty theatre...I'm not sure whether it was the actual morgue or not but there were a lot of bodies there.

This link may help put some things in perspective, Mr. Douglas.

Hmmm...I suppose I will think twice about eating pizza now. That reminds me, the pizza ovens at my high school did kinda look like that, and the manufacturer's name was Blodgett - I never found that name too appealing for some reason. I'm trying to remember the morgue I went to, I can't remember the drawers but I know they had a lot of gurnee-like table things with bodies on them...I bet in some cases they used those for the more portly bodies. As gross and insensitive as this sounds, I did notice that one of the bodies under a sheet on the cart was more portly. I think that since this was more of a university morgue (for studying doctors) they may not have had drawers.

That pretty much sums up how I feel, NurseCarmen. The only time I'd ever even consider taking something is if I knew the place was going to be knocked down within the next week or so - and that nothing in the builidng would be salvaged. Even then, I wouldn't want to take something significant, just a relic that represents the place to keep its memory alive even after the structure is gone. That really depends though, I would probably never take anything even so. But there are certain things I wouldn't like to see destroyed.

Geez, Bob, why'd ya have to go and ruin the movie for everyone else! Everyone knows it was supposed to have a surprise twist ending! ;-)

Oh ughh disgusting...I guess I don't wanna know how that got there...or maybe I do (curiosity killed the cat, ya know!)

A skeletal hand? Really? Yuck, I had to "assemble" one for Anatomy class. You positive it was a hand? It's not I don't believe you but that just seems...wow. What else was around the area?

Wow, do you think someone was in there shortly before you? I mean, lights have to burn out eventually...and leaving them on isn't all too bright, either...I'd think it could be a fire hazard.

Motts, is that the Abrahm Hewitt on the far left? What strikes me is the big wheel...

This boat is so beautiful - this picture envokes so much emotion- its an odd feeling of immense sadness and yet peace at the same time, mixed with nostalgia. You really captured these well, Motts.

Motts, your pictures invoke so many emotions; its wonderful.

Nice, I like the lighting in this one. What's that pile in the lower left? Just sediment?

The composition of this is great!
