Hi Lynne and ~ME : )

You two are double cool!
Though I am not Religious I have enlightened myself that the Bible may be a handbook for mental awareness. The many disciples if you look at them could conceivably be personalities within us. Their is the bad disciple that betrayed Jesus and John the Baptist which was the Faithful persona etcetera... The Devil just may be the bad guy in us. Heaven is a thought away and so is Hell. It's all a matter of perspective in my bookno pun)!
If you look at any of the writings in the Bible you very well could establish that many if not every situation that had taken place could be perceived in our real life happenings in this day and age. I think that whoever wrote the Bible had a dep understanding of the human psych and was a great story teller. I believe Heaven and Hel are right here right now on Earth and each individual is capable of living in one or the other. The "Almighty" is just that, the Almighty. The unseen force that is ultimately decisive about just what you are capable of. The useen force that drives your being. GOD. Then that would make each and every one of us Jesus. The children of God. The child of the Almighty. Maybe a far stretch but it works for me. That's not to say that there is not an afterlife and that a real being such as God exists. I just can't see us all in this universe being as intelligent as we are without some great force having brought us about. And if there wasn't a God to begin with, with our capabilities who's to say that we haven't created one that could exist now? Who knows, but what a great story.

Vaya Con Dios !~

Here's an update. I was there a few hours ago tonight and all four of those doors are now gone. They were taken right off, there's bolts on the floor. still layed inside though, second time.

I'm pretty sure this isn't in the power plant, but in the main building.

It was one of those stickers that looks like stained glass. Almost everything of value was stripped from Dixmont.

Motts, did you wear a respirator in this room?

I believe Mr. Shaws' bed is behind one of those curtains, and it's to be elevated at all times. At least thats what the cardboard sign said when I was last in there in 2000.

Don't forget the cheesy prefab looking ceiling that the modernists installed

Kind of reminds me of Night of the Living Dead, "They're coming to get you, Barbara, there's one of them now!"

Felyne, you're right on the money- Motts uses opacity to describe the dirty, often opaque views that he gets of these old structures

Jude, or it was painted right before this section was closed

I could imagine Sara Conner doing chin-ups on a bar that was suspended from each wall

Very sterile and institutional looking place, I expected it to look more Gothic and ornate

I really like the tilted perspective, it makes you feel as if you're climbing from one rooftop to the next.

Not on the table, but perhaps on a person on top of the table.

Trying to find grandmother Rebecca Epstein who was in Byberry when she died from a fall down steps. Our family would like her records. Louis & Ann Epstein. ( nepstein2cfl.rr.com )
