Just a passing internet denizen.

Your use of color vs. b&w in various shots really shows off your talent. As for the shots themselves... they're amazing. You really should put these together in a book.

THis is by far the most amazing picture, The most creepy feeling. Such an honorable spot now left to dissolve

Jeez, Mr. Motts. Amazing. This is another one of my very favourite pictures that you've taken. It really does rock, and I'm so glad you shared it with us!
These images are completely mind blowing to me, I really do love them, especially when you get that reflection effect, it just looks freaking amazing.

This shot gives the impression that the boiler fires were giving you the background light off the pipes, great photo.

Wow!! that there is a pneumatic control station.
Compressed air was used to control the opening and closing of valves.
Electrical signals can be translated to pneumatic and vise-versa.

And I have do agree, you captured that very well, Kudos.

Holy crap Motts, I don't know if it's because I'm completely out of it or what, but this shot confuses me...Though, today, that isn't the hardest thing in the world to do. I love it though.

I think the pics are amazing. Did you have to get permission to go in there, or you just went in? I am really into photography and find the shots amazing. Sceamerbeffers@aol.com

I remember my first, oh yea!! IBM 5650, dual 5 1/4 floppy drive, no HD, 512kb of ram(I actually think it was less)
Then a 286 came into my life which was able to use 1mb ram.
The Mosiac browser anyone???

hospital bed im sure of it

It hard to make out with any certainty but it looks like a pump motor with the bell housing still attached.

Many of the buildings have that same blackend color. I don't know why it is but the smell in these places is something you don't soon forget.

When u accucly see these buildings up close on the newer buildings you can see the jump nets posted out on the side of the building to catch the ppl.

Yea! that's a reciprocating steam engine. The steam header can be seen in the background with a steam supply takeoff going to the unit.

These were used as auxillary power generators in the day.
Just as G. Dammann said, it probably powered the electrical generation unit, amongst other equipment.
