LOL @ Kolfritz...Thank goodness I was NOT drinking my Pepsi as I read that comment. That was a good one.

This whole gallary makes me so sad...

This is bone-chilling. It makes me think of that gurney being NEEDED on that floor...

*Shudder*

True about the grated floors, I didn't think of that...

Thanks; no there was enough natural light for this photo coming from the turbine hall on the left.

This makes me so sad for some odd reason...like the shadows and ghosts of people past...it seems as though someone will walk hrough those doors and sit at that (ancient!) computer any time now. I can almost hear the echos of the patients and doctors and nurses...

This picture depresses me more than any I've seen today. Hmmph.

Yes there was a rung ladder leading down into each of the bins, but if one fell into an empty bin they would probably be hurt pretty bad as they were quite deep.

I don't recall any particular odor or noises; it's a bit tough to remember after a few years...

HI Debbie from Canada! Your country is gorgeous I must say!

This picture cracked me up for some reason...I have a sick sense of humor today. Eeek...

Anchovies anyone?

That red door against the gray really stands out. Nice contrast.

Looks like one of the video games my kids had where you had to run around this old plant stealing flags and shooting people!

Totally Sci-FI...

Claudia, I believe the name you are looking for is Hulett.

These were automatic ore unloaders.

I believe it stands for (pi r squared) pi r squared is the formula for solving the area of a circle. Part of an old rhyme , I think.

I must apologize, as in most cases, I am looking at the architecture itself, and marveling about how we cannot reproduce these today, at any cost. This was built at an exuberant time in this country's history, when anything seemed possible. Understand that I always think that the photography is haunting and evocative, It goes without saying. Great shot!

Lets face it, Detroit is a failed city, and will slowly revert to a more rural state, The industry that built it, is gone, and barring some sort of massive change in this world, will never return. The only hope for cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Gary, etc, is that global warming gets severe enough that water used for manufacturing becomes a big enough issue that industries will be forced to come back to the water, as the Great Lakes have one fifth of all the world's freshwater. just my opinion.
