I was eating my dinner the first time I looked at this - the thought of all that mold almost made me . . . kaaaak. . . . kaaaak. . . . kaaaaa. . . .

It's perspective that makes it look that way, markymark. See how the lines diverge as they come toward the camera? It's pretty clear that there were only meant to be 4 chandeliers here.

Wow, even the shadows have a kinda mauvey tone to them

Hey, thanks for the little wallpaper, Motts!

markymark is right, if you look at it long enough, the way the alternating windows cast winding shadows all the way down this hall almost makes it seem like it starts to spin and spiral. . . Freaky!

Just think of how cool and pristine this must have been when it was new. . .

We just don't see stuff like this in America!

Motts, I love the work you do with perspective. You're so daring with your camera angles - I'd be chicken to try a shot like this on anything but a digital (where I could toss it if it were horrible)!

I love the subtle patterns that the light coming through the windows makes on the ceiling (was that sentence gramatically correct? I really had to think about it hard. . .)

I hear ya there, Sara! Not like the sterile institutional colors we see in American asylums of this era. . .

I don't think that's dirt, Tony; I think it's a shadow. Looks to me like there's another source of light behind Motts as he's taking the picture, another window or something.

Oh, Motts, this shot is AWESOME!!

It IS a pants press, you guys - you put the pant leg in upside down & the (bent down) outside board presses the fabric onto the metal plate behind, leaving your pantses all nice & wrinkledy-less
