Hehe, good point. 8 )

Well, I'm pretty sure Mr. Motts takes care of the people who are like "YOUR PHOTOS SUCK RAWR IM TYPING IN ALL KAPS AND SPELLED CAPS WRONG AND BY THE WAY I AM A MEAN PERSON AND EVERYONE HERE SUCKS I DESTROY THINGS FOR A LIVING" mmmhmm. He most likeley takes care of those people.

Yeah, i'm seeing more pics with no comments. But this photo is so good. I guess that's why i was surprised by the lack of commentageness.

Thanks for the welcome. The people who post here regularly seem to be really nice.

We'll need to airlift this guy.

Oh geez!!! That's as long as my parents' have been married. (January 14, 1950)

There is a person that has been in an iron lung for 55 years. She lives in Jackson, TN and her name is Diane Odell. So it is possible for someone to stay in one for a long period of time.

Purple was the color of royalty in ancient Persia. Apparently, purple dye was the most expensive and most difficult to make. I guess that's why they made the Persian Room purple.

I saw some abuse. I worked there 1968-1971. I worked in the med surg bldg. People where brought in obviously beaten up. The attendant would say the injuries were from a fall. If some one was admitted and put on the critical list for twenty four hours it was not an ME case. my head nurse got wise to this and started refusing the admissions. I saw alot of neglect mostly. There were many escapes, both failures and successes. We had a man once that jumped three stories, broke his back.

I worked in thet bldg. from 1968-1971. Some where on those grounds is a cemetery with unmarked graves where unclaimed bodies were buried. Kind of a Potters Field. Sad place.

Aha! Once again, thank you Sue! Now that I can look up information about this color by knowing its correct name, I also found the reference about the increased exposure to the color having the opposite effect:

I find quite a few photos in my travels here, that have no comments.

As for being addicted to this site, join the club. I became addicted about three weeks ago. You're in good company.

Hehe, i'm still staring at this one.

No comments for this image??? I don't know if you guys consider it rude here to post on older stuff, but i find the composition in the photo amazing.

The upper half of the photo is dominated by the bright skylight contrasting with the dark ceiling. While in the lower half the beam of light hitting the wall mirrors the skylight but in a much more diffuse way. And the pipe bisects the image in just the right way.

Brilliant Mr Motts. I'm definitely getting addicted to this website. 8 )

This was once used to grow flowers, not poison ivy. (I think that's what I see in there)

We had one here, that looked exactly like this after a few years. The reason why the overgrowth is so thick, is because, as this building was used to grow plants, the ground is very-very furtile.

As for the one here, it was torn down a couple years back.
