Love that you found this and took a pic of it. Almost looks like it says Infected Blood.. I know thats not right... What does it say?

Love the Color! Its like Sherbet! I see Lime, Pineapple, and Strawberry rooms and Lemon walls...lol.

Such a mystery. What could those numbers possibly mean? Who wrote this & why?

Couldnt of said it any better Larry D. I appreciate your comment.

I think its crushed glass Larry D :) @ yes the colors are really alive! Nice Surprise this AM > A new Gallery Yay! Thanks So Much Motts!

Nature at work dismantling what humans have built. Beautiful.

That tape has held fast for a lot of years. The hand written note is another great example of Mott's eye for the smallest detail.

I've never seen such bright colors in a hospital. It has a child-like atmosphere. Sort of like a day care center. It's very pretty though.

Very nice surprise this morning finding this new gallery!
Merry Christmas Motts!

I think you are right Meri. Looks like its tipped over.

My mom did too! It was in the basement. She called it a mangle.

Love the colors, and the doorway to...wonderful shot.

Was this a porch for TB patient to get sun? Looks like only two full doorways onto this porch in this shot. I know that sun and fresh air was the treatment in the beginning. Gorgeous.

These must have been here forever judging from those rusty hangers & that rusty closet rod. That peeling paint looks like open wounds. Motts, your attention to the small details in a structure is amazing. You take a lifeless old building & remind us that this was once used & inhabited by people. These silent & peeling walls witnessed happiness & sorrow. Laughter & tears. Daily life & even death. You're incredible photography captures all this perfectly.

The colors change as the lighting changes.
