Yes, I'm sure I'm over analyzing this..but I take it the beds were bunk beds? That or they were very close together. But from what I gather some of the children were disabled so I don't see how they would be able to get into top bunk. So I take it the beds were either pushed close together, or the beds were not nearly centered under the names. Don't know know why I started wondering this, I like things centered and even and its 2:30 in the morning...
*Refranes from rabid chuckling* What did we all do?
Anyway I haven't checked out this gallery throughly enough but saw this when I was checking the comments. Nicely done as always Motts you capture the image of the fireplace perfectly... and the plug. Looks ALOT like a fireplace to me. Fire-Alter there we go.
The Second Sign
And God said,
Offer the Blood of the Ten Sinners and
the White Oil. Be then released from the bonds of the flesh, and gain the Power of Heaven. From the Darkness and Void, bring forth Gloom, and gird thyself with Despair of the Giver of Wisdom.
I must say, looking at this picture some more, you really truly have captured claustrophobia on film. I'm not a particularly claustrophobic person (except for elevators, but that's a different story ;-)) but this one does make my heart pound faster. Do you happen to remember how narrow, in retrospect, this hallway was? I know it was a long time ago so I'm not supposing you might, but who knows what the mind can recall? Some strange things to be sure!
I really do love this shot...any chance this will be made into a wallpaper, Motts? I could stare at it all day. I want to live there, just as it is now, the building is so full of charm, even though it may look scary to the untrained eye.
I have personaly climed thoughs statirs. They are safe. i got to the front balcony of that building and went through the window to get there. we left when we saw a car drive by. that plaace is creapy
*Yawns* You lot are always tougher in groups because you can't do anything alone. Each of you have each others back blah blah blah... same street gutter display of unintelligence. Up your vocab kiddo then come back okay? Or not.
