the light that Wilberforce is referring to is located in New York in a firehouse, i think. apparently, it has been burning for about 106 years. i'ts only gone off once due to a blackout.
I've seen sismilar places in austria. Up in the mountains, before the "winter sports tourism", many villages had what they called "cure hotels" or something similar, it was a place where you could just relax, have a peaceful rehabilitation after a time of sickness or so. It was even forbidden to work or make noices such as running heavy traffic though these villages, to keep them as peaceful as possible. But when the winter sport tuorism started, and people went to these villages to go skiing, the hotels popularity decreased, until they had to close down most of them.
Therefore, if you go to a small mountain village in austria, you may see these large hotel builings in the middle of the village, abandoned. Imagine that! In the middle of the town, surrounded by houses stands a 5-6 stores high building abandoned! Noone can afford to buy and renorvate these hotels, and some of them doesn't even have water or electricity in them! They just stand there.
I was on a holiday trip to Badgastein in the Austrian alps, when i saw these buildings, and i asked a local about them, and he told me what i just told you here. He alsoadvised me not to visit them, and i didn't really dare to either, but oh, how i regret that now! Anyway, thats the story, i don't know if it even fits here, but anyway...
ha,i can see myself sitting in the middle of this room..its like life there are so many ways to get out... but im glued to the floor with everyone looking in.
Looks like Miss Fabershams house from the novel - Great Expectations! Love the light coming through the tops of the windows, makes them look like skeleton key holes
Ummmm..... I usually hate to be the first one to say anything, but does anyone else see the white face in the upper right hand side of the arch of the window? Or is this just a shadow of something else?
