What a touch the pink line mikes to the shot though! A literal underline... quite an emotional little oasis in this place...

Awe-SOMMME!!

Great, great stuff.

Ooh, yes, Motts, a book! Please!!

Why are the same speeches made about the care actually given to patients and how all of us who aren't in healthcare are "romantic Goths" on so many pictures? Asking what someone would be trained to do do here (although, true, "occupational therapy isn't actually about jod training) is not an off-the-wall or disrespectful question. Don't take things so personally! Most of us out here DO have the utmost regard for the healthcare industry, and DO elevate caregivers of this type to deserving hero status such as that of firefighter or EMT. It's gotta be a rough job. MANY jobs are misunderstood, many people are brash and without respect. Most of us have used the word "retarded" to describe something and regretted it, trying sudsdequently to rethink our wording... one who does so does not need a speech at every turn. That finally said: nice shot, Motts!!

Er- well- my impressions here are that former emotions have colored the very walls.... just an attempt to add a little prose to the visual poetry...

Lovely!!!

I prefer the Black Album. Hehehe

Bleak. The most bleak scene I think you've captured yet.

.......stunnnnnnnning.......

Marvelous. There's no greater find in an abandoned place in my opinion than a clock forever stopped...

Ooh.........one of those "take a deep breath before you go on" shots...

And mine! Eternal thanks... and, it has to be said: oh, the GREED it takes to build on a cemetery!!! No marker, no informing future residents of the new developments... absolutely boils the blood! May those responsible for such disrespect have apartments built on their graves. ..................Ironic, ain't it?? The unsung people who're there to preserve this unsung history, such as you, Motts, are the ones who are considered the invaders. But a corporate "whatsit" can come in and... well, anyway, thankyou again for what you do. A thousand-fold.

Hehe that's what I thought too, Angel...

Waverly's great. Highly recommend. And privately owned, so it's legal if you book a tour.:) Great shot. And gotta say: I've never seen so many spellings in one place for the word "MORGUE".
