everyone needs to relax. retarded simply means slow, that's why retardundo is used to express where music usually becomes slower.

have you ever been in any buildings that have aspestos?
that would be my constant fear.

Thanks Lady, my friend, I couldn't have said it any better. We need to respect ALL of the sites that Motts photographs and appreciate the fact that we wouldn't have seen these beautiful sites if it weren't for him!

I agree this is one beautiful photo. The Danvers wallpaper has been on my computer since I bought it in May and I will never delete it! It's the first thing I see when I turn on my computer and when I shut it off. I just don't ever want to forget the beauty of Danvers!

I finally gave in regarding this shot. I'd been using one of your wonderful shots of one of my fav subjects in Danvers State Hospital as my desktop wallpaper for the longest time & was loath to give it up.
But, I could resist this one's stark beauty & atmosphere no longer. Many thanks Motts for sharing your visions with us.

I think this one is stale.

Yes Grace!
Nice analogy that had'nt occured to me yet while enjoying these photos. To me, they really bring to mind THE OUTSIDER , THE SHUNNED HOUSE & but of course, THE TOMB.

I don't know, as much as I might be tempted, IMO any sort of forced entry would be wrong. That just crosses the line between respectful observation & the recording of what one see's to share with others to interference.
I, myself, have just a wee bit more of a relaxed interpretation of the "do no harm, take nothing & leave nothing behind" creedo than does our beloved Motts, but on this issue I definitely concur with him.
Now, were I to have seen a coffin or sarcophagus in a state of such disrepair that one could peek into without really disturbing anything, I'd have done so. But, that's it.

You guys are nuts.... I could tell you anything you want to know about these. I was here for about 12 years or so. on and off. I knew the guys that slept in them so please do not disrespect them with rude comments. Thenks

Ah, wonderfully moody.
This one evolks a nostalgic sense of one of those old Mexican vampire films that I used to watch with my parents every Friday night on our local Fright Night Late Show like THE WORLD OF VAMPIRES, the NOSTRADAMUS series & of course, THE VAMPIRE'S COFFIN.
They were filmed on micro-budgets & didn't have the best acting performances or directing, but DAMN did they make up for it in atmosphere. Just like this shot does...

Awesome.
Motts, once again, I must acknowledge how blessed you are with an eye for this sort of thing. Great work!
This one, to me, appears like something straight out of a late '50s - early '60s Hammer film. I love it.
It also brings to mind the vampire Barlow's coffin from Tobe Hooper's 1979 version of 'SALEM'S LOT.

HAH. Mother nature always wins. ;)

I can understand you being curious.
It would be cool...IF it was a horror movie.
But it's not.
In all seriousness, these are people that have lived their different lives, died, and have been put in their final resting place.
It is out of respect that these were not opened.
This place was photographed to show the inside of such a beautiful building and the amazing craftsmanship that went into the coffins of that time.

Respect is the running theme that you'll find in all of Motts galeries. : )

I like the graffiti. It reminds you that the dish isn't some alien desolate thing. Gives you a sense of time and lets you know people interacted with it.

I am starting a ghost hunting group and am looking for 5 individuals with equipment and experience ....I will start interviews asap....we will not SNEAK into buildings I have connections through md and va government where I can get a signed document allowing us to explore for up to 8 hours at 1 time ....Pleas if intrested email me at delorean316@hotmail.com....
