what's tacked on the wall? and I don't wanna know what's on the floor, ewww.

I agree with everyone on the wallpaper. Very Cool !!!

maybe bedbugs....

Man! I thought that was either a seclusion room (with the exit sign so close by) or a bathroom.

lol God I want to go there so bad!

My parents accidentally ended up here after turning onto the wrong exit on their first date and my mom totally freaked out because it was getting dark. That was like 16 years ago I think.

this place is so fucking amazing
i hate the mother fucke€r who burned it to make it come like this

Jenny Wade was the only civilian at Gettysburg killed. Many other civilians were killed in raids by conferderate irregulars, even close to the Canadian border

looks like a whole bunch of coats

This picture captures the essence of decay and loss. My favorite so far.

I first learned that sometimes when people walk away from a structure they leave furniture and records when I visited Goldfield Nevada in 1967. The Goldfield Hotel had closed in 1959 or thereabouts, and looking in the windows of the dining room, I saw the tables set for a meal but covered with dust. The grocery store had a calandar on the wall from the year of closing and the shelves were lined with canned goods. These artifacts added to the air of tragedy and dashed lives present in the abandoned buildings.

Jenny Wade was the only NORTHERN civilian killed in the civil war. There were many who died directly or indirectly becuase of war in the south. In Vicksburg there was a baby put near the entrance of a cave (to get air) where people had gone for shelter during the seige who was crushed by a cannon ball.

Now you're getting into the swing, Taubin! ;-)

The place with the chair in it has been demolished. The chair itself has been appropriated by an enterprisng urbexer, who doesn't mind having an old , torn, probably pissed ion chair around, just because it was in a movie.

stephen21, Thank you for replying.

When I look at the photographs on this website I write down the first thing that comes into my head because that is the most honest thing. And sometimes these photos will remind me of places and countries that I have been to or experiences that I have had while I been traveling throughout the world.

I LOVE this web site! I have looked at other websites that are somewhat similar to Motts website. And I can say for sure that those websites can't hold a candle to Motts website.

In fact, all those websites SUCK !!!

There are alot of old buildings here in East Germany. Mott should go to East Germany. (Of course bring a couple of people who speak, read and write perfect German and know there way around.) I have driven thru a little bit of East Germany. There are still alot of old buildings there. The young East Germans have thrown rocks thru the windows of these old buildings. And there is alot of graffiti on these buildings. There are portions of East German towns and small East German cities that look like ghost streets because the young East German people have left for West Germany to look for jobs. Alot of the young East German men have a hard time finding work because they do not have as good an education as the West German men. The education system under the old communist regime within the USSR did not prepare the young East German men for a good career. This is very evident because I have seen many young East German men at the Western German (haupbahnhof) train stations asking for money for food. Of course they spend the money on beer and wine. And to see a German man walking down the street with a bottle of beer or a bottle of wine in his hand and drunk as hell is absolutely no big deal here. The East German women are doing better at getting jobs than the East German men because they are better educated. They must of tried harder in school. I have taken only a few photographs because I have not had that much of a chance to travel around East Germany. And the weather is getting worse so I will have to wait until Spring to travel again. Trying to travel around Europe in the Winter is not easy.

Thank you again.
