In the fog, it looks like this building goes on and on forever. Absolutely beautiful photo. I want this framed on my wall.

I know I'm late to the party but I still must say - B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

Great explanation, NH Uncle. Makes sense however accurate, I'm still drawn to Doctor DETH's explanation.

Obviously, my comment is years late but I too enjoy reading all the comments. It's taken me over a year now to go through just one half of the site - I read every comment and then go back and forth between the comments and picture just to look again and again at what the different posters have noticed. Even the non-picture comments are appreciated and entertaining! Thanks for all of your hard work, Motts. I wish there was something in my area of Virginia to which I could refer you but alas I know of no structure that would be interesting.

Fantastic! Wonderful gallery. I never wanted it to end. I know its been posted for quite a while, but.....THANK YOU, Motts ! ! ! !

eldokid - The pneumatic tube technology is still alive and well.....almost every hospital in which I worked used the pneumatic tube system to transport specimens from the patient floors down to the laboratories. I've also seen it in use at some hardware stores - can't remember if it is Home Depot or Lowe's - but one of the chains use it. Also, a lot of banks use it to conduct transaction between cars in the drive-through and the tellers inside the bank.

It looks like someone is going to be back at work any moment...notice the yellow hardhat still lying on the control panel ledge? Maybe just stepped out for a cup of coffee.

An alternate view of the insect is that if this happened to be the hospital laboratory, that may have been the microbiology section. I know many labs in which I've worked have had windows between the sections and quite often we call the microorganism 'bugs'....hence the 'bug' on the window.

Wow, at an angle like that, how did they keep the water in?
(Sorry, had to say that, lol).

Potato - I doubt you'll see this comment due to the extreme amount of time since you posted but even with the solemness of the photos, you had be laughing out loud with your use of words: crypted, cryptified, and crypticated. I don't know which is correct...but I vote for crypticated. :-)

Twug - very beautiful poem.

This is the photo on the opening page where I though this was going to be a 'church gallery'. Boy was I surprised, lol.

If this was considered NOT ornate, I'm at a loss for what would be considered to ornate. This is beautiful.

Beautiful. Must admit though, that when I saw the photo on the opening page, I thought it was a church. This photo looks more like someone's mansion or manor house.

How very sad that the ballroom is gone. Wonder what happened to the 'soap dispensers' hanging from the ceiling? (Sorry, Motts, that'll just never go away). They're beautiful; would love to have one or two of those hanging in my house.

I just can't keep from staring at this pic. Like BloodLust wrote, I feel like I'm looking through a portal back into dimension/time.
