Having spent a lot of time on this site recently, I have realized how the galleries take us through darkened tunnels and rooms and then when we least expect it....we are out into the light again. I don't know if you do it on purpose or it's just the order of the pictures as they were taken. Either way, it has an amazing effect!

Okay, I believe I've been looking at these pictures too long or something. In the middle of the photo I see a man, he's wearing an old cap like a bus driver or a pilot would have worn back in the 60's. It looks like he has a white shirt, dark tie, and a dark coat. His hands are folded in front of him. I probably need to take a break and give my eyes a much needed rest!!!

Can't say that I usually agree with graffiti, but here it works. It's as if this place is so sterile and institutional like, that the graffiti actually gives it a human touch which it is in great need of!!

The placement of the "open" windows in this picture looks like even the current contents of this building would like to escape. Great photo!
