Wow new gallery, I really need to check in more often.

I don't think it's wood, I think it might just be rusted.
It does look very castle-like.

Reminds me of my old school, the interior of that was painted this exact colour, all the walls were cracked and peeling as well, and we're only talking about 5 years ago.

Not something they'd put effort into nowadays. Today it'd just be some crappy mesh because 'who will look at it?'

Maybe they assumed if they cut something off they'd get out of there?

I assume hospitals would have a few laying around?

With all that gold, I'd watch my back too.

Thanks again for the gallery, just in time for my birthday. You are a master of your hobby, Mr. Motts, and I am very appreciative of your contributions to this art.

Ahhh, I love this shot. It's just so... light-hearted. The silly, tipsy chair balanced precariously, and so out-of-place, in the brightly lit room, beside the crumbling, blue hallway!

What, no *SALE* stickers for the crappers?

I'm agreeing with Toot. I would not have wanted to shower here.

Mylanta green is bad enough... THIS is baby-poop green. Blech!

A wooden fire door... what?

I LOVE this picture!

I don't know about you, Mama, but since I started being addicted to Opacity (it's been about 2 years now), whenever I see a place like that at the mall or in a hospital, I can't help but picture in my head what it's going to look like in 20, 40 or 50 years, after the facility has been abandoned and time has worked its ravages on the building.... I seem to see the future of man's works everywhere I look. Office complexes, medical facilities... all of them will some day fall prey to either the elements or the wrecking ball.
