Well, karma is a wonderful thing. One day he will go over the roof along with the thing he's trying to throw, or be electrocuted by messing with something still hooked or, or end up seriously injuring someone while throwing stuff around. I'm not saying I want anyone to get hurt, but that's what eventually happens in the end.
The only thing I can think of is if they applied any kind of chemical to parts, they had to measure the amounts of certain chemicals and test reactions? Did they actually apply the finishing coat of paint to the vehicles here, because that could of been what some of this was for, testing paint colors. But anyways, I have no idea, just a guess. ; )
Yeah, I'd love to know what that "bridge" is. Part of it looks like it could be for foot traffic, but that incline looks rather steep for a ramp...I don't see any steps. A conveyor would make sense but I don't see any mechanism or way for things to move along.
I hope that when or if this is/was demolished, some of these were saved and that someone can use them. That would be so much to go to waste. But wow, this shot really gives a nice idea of how huge this place was and how much was left over!
Weird...I do see that "face" and it is rather creepy...I'm sure its just a mind trick but it's kind of interesting either way. However, I don't see the clown in the clouds...I see a dog! =P
I'm sure it was just some random person that was wandering around. It's not uncommon to come across people wearing long white dresses and angel wings along with black boots in these places. Especially ones that will pose in a lot of photos for you.
I second what Tim said here...you could seriously do photo shoots for musicians and stuff...granted of course you would enjoy doing that kind of thing. But it could boost your fundings for the book...*cough*hack*cough* teehee
