It's a kiss.

Looks like part of an area where I had to park for locobazooka back in 1999, if it is where I think it is, there is a new school built on or very near to this property

But you gotta admit, with that many windows, imagine the beautiful views you would get from that hospital. You could probably see boston! The crazies probably loved the fact they can see for miles!

It's just a pile of discarded books which are no longer of any use. Not every single book ever made can or should be kept forever. Many books lose their usefullness over time due to becoming obsolete or damage.

Those books look like old textbooks that are in no condition to be used. Due to their age they are probably useless as textbooks and certainly their condition makes them so. The only value they may still have is historical, and you don't need a bunch of copies of the same book for historical preservation. One or two of the same book is good enough, and I would bet you that the Library of Congress already has a copy of every one of those books.

As to the comment that one could sell them for a lot of money. Doubtfull. A book needs to be more than just old and worn looking to be sold as an antique. It has to have some historical signifigance, and be in at least decent shape. Doubt any of the books in that picture has those characteristics.

The only thing sad about that picture is the fact that someone failed to dispose of those books properly. They shouldn't have been just dumped in a pile in a school yard or wherever that is.

It's not a symbol of a society reading less, or the education system roting, or whatever. It's just a sign of someone being sloppy and not correctly disposing of no longer usable books.

I wonder what spot it is that X is marking.

Reminds me of a zepplin.

Makes it real fast to "get these down to Xray".

The doohickey thing on top of the spire (excuse my blasphemy of not calling it by whatever it's correct name is) is absolutely gorgeous! I love it, it's stunning! Simple, yet decidedly elegant. My sort of style.

Every shot with an angled roof I keep almost ducking thinking I'm gonna bash my head!

What's the shiny box on the left next to the mirrors? It looks like its a hand towel dispenser but it's got a vertical slot in it... or is that just a reflection on the box?

The windows have Betty Boop style eyelashes!

Yeah, what Barbara said, critique the photography and the architecture, Mott's specialty happens to be Urban Exploration and decay..... that just happens to include asylums.

P.S. I hope that the security guard has become a fan of your work, now
