A "Bucky" is the device that holds the sheat of film. Advanced ones have an dose meter built in that tells the xray generator when the film has been exposed properly. So the switch tells the machine to expose for a timed length or let the bucky control the shot.

"know thyself" was inscripted about the entrance to the oracle at delphi. the oracle at delphi was where ancient greeks went to get their futures told. there was a priestess that could supposedly communicate with the gods, and by doing so she could reveals one's future.

it was in greek at the oracle, but the greek is translated to "know thyself"

Now that picture really is the shit!

The fact that the end plate has been removed tells us something of its demise. They probably opened it for maintenance inspection and found that it was time to replace the 1000's of corroded high-pressure steam pipes. After figuring out what that would cost, they just walked away from it without even putting it back together.

cubic messy nice shot

the kingdom of nature strikes back. hooray! :)))

maybe that window or window-like thingy above is the answer. maybe some kind of steamtherapy or just saunatherapy with very hot air or steam and the head outside was wether for preventing suffocating or just for the patients comfort of easy breathing and relaxing... donno, but thats whats in my mind. 8-)

The hair dryers that now occupy salons have the same shape. I had to be placed under one just the other day and it was so hot I was afraid my hair might caught on fire.

oh wonderfull, nature is recapturing this place. :)))

The glory of reading these comments is that we all see something different through these pictures.

Artistic photography is not made up of just fruit bowls and flower arrangements.

All of the sudden, while photographing the speaker...
"ACHTUNG! Sie haben keine erlaubnis hier zu kommen!"

....or something.
