bravo, motts, bravo!!!

i almost wish i had caught the "genius's" post before you did. thanks for saving me the trouble.

kevin, can you understand the implicit significance that lies beyond the simple photograph of the wall now? barbara explained it beautifully and anna has a point. or is it still too "the part of the stage in front of the curtain'" (noun) for you? whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

Proscenium? Not quite an adjective...

I would try helping you figure it out if you weren't so rude, oh well. When I ask around for some brains, I sure won't be asking you "pal".

kevin, its totally pointless for people with no imagination, or the ability to appreciate beautiful, thought provoking pictures to even visit this site. The sesame street page is down the hall and to your left. Thank you for stopping by

Have a good now :-)

It's like a fleeting glimpse of what once was. I'm not sure what you don't understand about the photo, so if this sounds elementary, don't take offense. You read the comment right under the photo, right? What its showing is a wall with badly peeling paint, with the word "LOVE" eitched into the wall. Apparently this was a patient room. It's basically something to ponder. Who etched this? Why? Were they actually a patient or was this someone who came by later? Was this done while the hospital was still open? It basically brings to light some of the questions explorers and those of us who look at these photos have. Who was here last? What happened here?
