Where I grew up there was a street that had trees that arched over the walkway like this. I didn't need an excuse to walk there.

I love the serenity of this shot, but I have a question: Where's the doorknob???

Thank you, Anais. Is that sign made of marble, with all that intricate carving?

I agree with wjbodin3 -- that is one sturdy-looking angel. And I lthink it's a male angel. Probably my guardian angel after I wore him out.

I agree with you-all. Doors: gorgeous. Statue: beautiful. I'm trying to imagine myself a mental patient being "checked in," however. Would I find them soothing and reassuring? How can they bear to let such a beautiful building stand empty? They should restore it and make it an art gallery.

Mama's right about that touch of blue adding something to the picture, although my personal feeling is that it's a little like desecrating a work of art to advertise the local automobile dealership, or something like that. That building is just too beautiful.

is there a smell emanating from the abandoned builldings ?

I love the way the two lines in the center foreground lead you right through that archway. Now there's a noseprint on my monitor.

this is where ls computer go to die

Are those the only two light fixtures in the whole room? It must have been hard to see in there after dark.

would the door creak when opened

not much of a barrier
