ha, I took that exact same B&W shot...a few feet foward.

Ha! Look what I just found on google...

An aquaintance of mine was wrestling with a friend here and fell off the stage, breaking his leg in three places. Bringing him to civilization after such a calamity must've been a miraculous feat, to be sure. I guess they were thankful someone left a ladder to make into a stretcher for the long, long journey out.

Up close, the wrought iron railings, the iron fencing, and the massive pillars holding up the overhang harken one back to the days of architectural splendor seldom seen in modern institutions of every variety. How's THAT for a run-on sentence! Hah!

I Love the shadows in this... and well the subject/contraption you've shot here is massively creepy. Very nice.

"Into the fiery abyss of HELL!!!" Actually, I bring at least eight spare batteries and at least four flashlights *just-in-case*. Plus a six-pack of course... I remember Overkill closing down the Troc here in Philly because the sprinkler system was ripped from the ceiling and flooded the place out!

Hell is all this, but with the ghost of Frank Sinatra crooning in your ear.

This is what Hell looks like, I assume.

Yikes! What a startling image.

So this is where you Desecrate the angel, right?

This is sick!

you look hot. we should tour byberry sometime. i'll bring the beer ;)

I only get creeped out when there's someone else inside.

do you guys ever get creeped out in these place? probably a really dumb question, but i just had to ask it

it looks like there is a face on the right hand side by the door.....freaky!
