I think this pic is sensational. My late-husband wanted to paint our home a dark green to blend in with the outside scenery. Of course I rather injoy a variety of colors. Maybe the people who painted the Danvers wanted it to blend in, or they painted the tree to blend in with Denvers. they gave the tree srawberry juice so it could transform from a green tree to a red one. This is so crazy...hehe
I could not help to comment on this one pic. I enjoy spires and old ruins. I have read that a weather vane as on top of this spire is actually a lightning rod! This is so awesome! And to this individual who commented on the CAPS...my niece has bad eyesight, and many times she uses CAPS so she can particpate in the dialogues and forums. I myself have to revert to CAPS often because of my sight.
To me, CAPS are so much easier in the eyes when one has to strain using a small computer monitor. Sorry I feel this way. Normally I do not comment, only enjoy the reading and the wonderful pics.
deafangel, those are exactly my sentiments. Not only is Danvers an incredibly historic structure, it is in fact sitting upon incredibly historic ground. People really need to use their common sense more and realize that we are losing everything that holds more than a fleeting thought. It wouldn't surprise me if I soon start to hear about plans for condos opening up inside the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower.
maybe it is so gloomy because the institution itself feels threatened by what is in store for it, and it moans for what it once was in bygone years. Whatever, the photo shots matches what Danvers must be thinking if it had been human...sorta like a death sentence. Sad.
I wish they could restore Danvers and make it a museum like they did to USS Alabama battle ship and submarine. I mean, it would be cool to restore it has it originally was, and open to the public and even make a small skit for the tourists. Oh well...it was a nice dream though!
i had a dream once after coming home from the mental hospital. In my dream was a bathroom, and in this bathroom, the ceiling was flaking and mold, slime, and green algea was growing on the walls. Rodents started coming after me, and that was when I woke myself up screaming. I have toilet-phobia (those that are in parks, and old buildings!).
Is it my eyes deceiving me, or does that look like wheel tracks on the floor? I can imagine a lone ghost in a wheel chair strolling along in the empty orridors of time. Or an employee strolling a corpse for its last ride toward the morgue.
this pix is so thrilling. Makes one wonder about what can be down in the cold, dark, and dank basement. Isn't the basement where many mental and medical facilities used to house the morgue?
Oh, the reason why I was committed, my beloved husband hot killed in 2001 and this sent me into a spiral downard into deep depression and anxiety. I developed self-injury and this was what caused me to be committed, and these photos makes me think of the hospital I was in for a month.
