Ah, the red, gold and crystal being embraced by the serpent.

Ah, I knew they had a technical name, thanks guys!

I believe one of these ceiling cuts you speak of helped aid in the ultimate demise of the environmental inspector killed at Byberry... I think the hole left uncovered had rotted out the metal staircase, which collapsed under the inspector as he started to descend it a mere 3 days after I was there to shoot this gallery http://www.opacity.us/gallery55.htm

I'm not insinuating that it was the fire department's fault by any means, it just jogged my memory there.

It really does say a lot in my own mind, It looked so familiar . Thats why the photo is so good, it typifies.

Absolutely beautiful in black and white.

Out of curiousity. I worked at Walter E. Fernald School almost across the street. This place was the most horrendous place that I ever worked in my long 35 year career in mental health. The Wallace building was no more than what would find in Auschwicz, or Buchenwald during the second world war. Brutality ran rampant and their were no controls. The stench in the basement of that building just cried of horror.

she,s got such a nice backside

good if you got bucks

looks like it was taken from a window of 7

The marble floor in the passenger loading platform is actually in pretty good shape, i need of a few runs of a buffer, but it looked decent in sept of 04, havnt been there since

Those "body carriers" are really called stokes baskets, and Motts your right, they are mostly used for helicopter air rescues. What popular around my FD is using it for mountain rescue, many rescue squads and FD's have these because they are cheap and sturdy. Made of chicken wire and piping. They are the best things to use in anytype of rescue

Speaking as a Firefighter, the blackening of the ceiling here shows that either the FD that worked this fire did an awesome vent job, which i doubt because of the lack of verticle ceiling cuts (holes cut to let flame heat and gase's escape) or the fire didnt burn long enough to heat up the room and was probubly extinguish rather fast either by the FD or security

This one is my favorite

Motts i love it!!!!! Everything about this omnious and creepy valentine is hot!

I find it amazing how the government can have something so amazing in architecture and an amazing art piece in itself, and allow it to deteriorate to such a $h!tty condition
