Beautiful craftsmanship on the fire place, and the marble is a great contrast to the mauve(?) wall and blue carpet..

This one did it for me. I must have jumped a foot off the chair. I have been with-holding comment but I just had to let you know that I can't imagine anyone with sufficient guts to explore a place like this. Some beautiful shots! My hat's off to all of you.

these look like the few remaining at Dixmont State Hospital(very hard to get into as of spring 05)in a damp hallway in 1950s era building had to walk on and over a few,i felt sad thinking that someone slept on these plastic things,Reed Hall is still standing and they havent put a date on demo yet.

Well, when you think that our own bodies are usually between 96 and 100 degrees F (98.7 is just a median norm), it isn't quite as amazing. Particularly when one thinks about the temperature for hot tubs and jacuzzis.
Also, heated water is a bit more tolerable, when it isn't touching the head.

I realize that its probably plaster or paper or somesuch, but... the lighter materals on the floor, scattered like they are evenly against the darker, almost give the impression of light reflecting off water.
