It looks like a rusted piece of junk in the water

Its an upsidown Smiley face. Maybe when the patient was laying on the table they would look and see it right side up to cheer them up. You have to always find the beauty in all things. C:

It seems that the shiny area of the tile wall is the reflection of sunlight beeming into this creepy surgical room by way of a window.

I fist noticed the eerily shadowed cracked door leading into the next room. Well Mitts, surely you didn't pass that opportunity.

Now that is just plain terrifying! Hate to be down there without a flashlight

I got this tattooed on my arm

so U say between Bennett Commons and back of Halcyon- never been there but won't post were I've been - the idea of the Halloween thing is perfect - we need a volunteer Frankenstein or Fred Munster cursing the demise of the old girl and have been told demo probably won't happen as scheduled [read former posts } keep up the info
- where to "Wander" next

The rain adds such melancholy to this shot. Over on the right wall is a sign that says "AREA" on the bottom. The top has been obscured by paint or something. I wonder what it said.

Incredible shot. I can hear the sound of the falling rain, the sound of the wind outside, and the constant drip, drip, drip of the water hitting the floors. This would have been a good place to pause and reflect on what these walls witnessed over the decades. Very cool, Motts.

the first of october always seems a good time to hoist a cold one,
and I'll drink to just about anything, ....still i got a feeling that
not a damn thing is going to happen here come Oct 1st.
the village cannot seem to follow through on any thing they have said
when it comes to the Bennet Complex.They are still in a bind about
perimeters for a "safety fence", ostensibly for teardown, but implied
to be in the interest of public safety, in other words, to deter the
wanton tresspassing the site is wildly infamous for.

suggested 100 ft perimeters are impossible in the back of the complex, adjacent to the existing condominium complex. To all
you tresspassers, this area is one of the more architecturally interesting,
at least on the exterior. Take some photos!! This part of Halcyon has been only rarely
seen online.Probably because it is where you are likeliest to be
rousted by law enforcement. But, hey I'd love to see photos,
i haven't been to that part of Halcyon in years, and I'm feeling downright Nostalgic just about now, summer nights, and all.....

the fencing issue is being raised to imply not only the legal implications of
a safety/security fence, but the hackle that will enevitably be raised by the actual demolition, and rightly so. Halcyon Village abuts the
original building at the service areas of the back of Halcyon, and the
impending or inevitable demo/collapse/disposition of this discarded wonder will be a major concern, to say the least

i'd prefer a convergence of ALL of my scenarios: encase the Victorian
hulk in Glow In The Dark paint, until Halloween, , then do a time elapsed film of it being struck by lighting and /or exploded as part of some extremely stupid big budget movie. I might be wrong, but i think it could make everyone feel better about everything! but then again,
i am an optimist, believe it or not

obviously what alot of people want is just the lightning strike, right?

to me that is a wildly irresponsible position to put the people
who'd respond to such a calamity into, but, hey, we all live under
the gun, right?

wanderer, stax, motts, and all, i always look forward to your
commentary and insight here on opacity. cheers!

Or perhaps John Lennon was here! :--P

I used to skip this photo when reviewing this album over and over again.

Now I am in complete awe of it. And I have no idea why.

Stunning

Wow that's gorgeous!

hehehe .. crazy Motts ..
