that shot is gorgeous. i can just imagine a figure emerging from the darkness. the lighting is great. honestly, if purgatory doesn't resemble this shot, i will be suprised.
Good stuff there Motts! Very interesting to see. Lots of curious speculation about this room. I'll add more. :o) We can see they were pulled from vehicles. All the shifters had been cut off to make that easier, and hoses cut, etc.. Most of the generators were taken. Generators were replaced with alternators in the early 60s in civilian vehicles, but I cannot say that for these mil-spec looking units. And there they sit. I would guess they came from a government contract and developed a problem, were defective in some way, were improper, something like that. I would say this, the circumstances surrounding them were likely an embarrasment and had cost some company or the taxpayers ALOT of money to correct! I think there's some kind of snafu connected to them or they would have been discarded/scrapped/sold a long time ago. Perhaps they sit and hide in "government stockpile limbo"? But... it sure is cool to see them and speculate, you betcha! Love the photos!
Great stuff Motts! That's the funkiest materials handing scheme I've ever seen in a factory. It's the damndest thing. In the old/new photos a couple images back, one of the traversing cranes can still be seen on the top way off at the far end.
That stanza eerily resembles something from an Evanescence song. Sad, beautiful, and haunting at the same time.
I am sure most of you enjoy listening to that band.
I think this has something to do with suicide. I am not too sure, but the lyrics pretty much sounds like it.
The same hole that is allowing snow to fall in will bring in dandelion fluffs come spring. Within 5-10 years, I can expect this place to host a variety of weeds and plants.
Look at the floor in the foreground, it seemed like a flaming piece of debris had shot in from the burning other side and landed on the floor. If you look even more closely, it looks like the floor is covered with some dry accelerant and is about to ignite rapidly
