OUSTANDING!!!!!!!!!

Dark-Star, you are correct. Diagnostic x-ray machines (the ones for broken bones, CT and mammograms) only produce radiation for the fraction of a second that the Tech pushes the button. Therapy x-ray machines for treating cancer have an actual radiation source that is enclosed in a led lined chamber. When the door to the chamber is opened, everyone and everything in the area is exposed to radiation (closest to the source = the stronger the dose). In the USA, no therapy x-ray machine would be allowed to be "abandoned" without the removal of the radiation source, but in other countries, who knows?

yeah, a legend in his own mind you mean. If you're defending "Big T" and his actions, then you're just as big a loser as he is.

I grew up 6 houses from this main gate on Silverbrook and used to walk my Grandmother to work. She was a telephone operator for over 35 yrs and most ofmy uncles were guards there and they all retired from there. It was a main source of income for some Lorton residents and if there was a break, they didnt stay around town, they headed straight up the railroad tracks to DC. I remember when it was a working prison with apple orchards, dairy farm and even a brickyard. Our family property was sold to builders to build all those houses that surround the prison now. I miss the old days, but dont and wont miss the prison when they do get around to tearing it down, it's progress.

How in the world did you find a location in Baltimore that was free of graffiti and vandalism (as far as I can see?) Most of that city is covered in it. (I'm originally from the Baltimore area). It must have taken a lot of "creativity" to get in that place. I sure do appreciate your efforts. (-:

How did you find a building in Baltimore that was (as far as I could tell) free of graffiti? That city is covered with graffiti and vandalism!

somebody sqeezed all the soap from that dispenser lol great gallery as always Motts

Fascinating. This gallery makes me want to draw a lot of these images, especially the hat on the bench. Great colors and textures in that one.

Seeing things like this, and elaborately tiled floors, really makes me resent modern "architecture".

Looks like mirrors at first.

This is awesome, but I can't look at it for too long.

Oh that tile. Beautiful.
