I spent about 3 weeks in one of those. The one I was in, I lay on my tummy for 2 hours and they came and put another part on my back and turned me over. took the part I was laying on on my tummy off. After 2 more hours the came back, put the tummy part on me again and turned me over and removed the back part. I went through that every 2 hours for three weeks, Kept me from getting bed sores, though. My back was broken in a coal mine roof fall. That was almost 30 years ago, and I'm sure they still use the Stryker Frame..

I love cemeteries, and no one photographs them like you do, Motts. Your photography is the best, and I can look at one of your photos for several minutes and still be totally captured by it's beauty and mystique. It's a shame that someone doesn't do something to stop the damage in that cemetery.

Man they sure don't build like that now days. Such a shame that such fine old buildings are going to waste. Great shot! Love the way the light pierces the beam construction..

This photo and the previous one convey the cold and stillness of death. In a way they seem to make death attractive. Beautiful place to spend eternity. Yes, motts. We need a hardcover book of your art.

I, too, am a cemetery lover! There is something about old cemeteries that beacons to me and draws me to them. i could spend day after day in the old Victorian cemeteries reading the headstones and mausoleums. Vandalism, (including graffiti vandals) is the biggest danger all abandoned and remote places face. Great work Motts! Give us more cemeteries!

If only one could hear the story of each person now resting there. There would be so much tragedy, so many heart breaking stories one would hear. In some ways it doesn't seem fair that all is lost, even the memories. Only bones and monuments.

I think the keepers of these cemeteries should right all the fallen stones. Now, only the monuments and crypts distinguish the cemetery from ordinary woods.

I wouldn't mind sharing an oak with you, Dawn. lol Must be incredible to be there on a winter's day. The snow just adds to the charm of the place.

I would love to live in the old hospital section of Avalon Danvers! Let's hope the ghosts don't scare all the renters away. That would get the building with the old hospital facade torn down. :(

Feel free to edit my post Kitty Kat... LOL!

Look like the coops for chicks I saw at a local farm store when I was a child.
