Latest escape route?

Funny how different angles produce different pictures?

Looks like a steam radiator under the window?

Your right abought the fire,just what I thought when I first looked at the photo

Its amazing to me how man can let something like this get to this state of decay?

The wages of age will come to all

Thanks so much for another spectacular gallery of rust, mold and peeling paint. My favorites!

Well I may not be first but I sure look forward to each new Gallery

Great composition Mr. Motts!

Amazing look at what time and moisture can do.

Looks like something on the Titanic.

Wonderful photo!
Love the jars ...they look almost new compared to the coats of paint on the window glass

Where's Autoguy? He could answer that ? for you AD Nilsen. Im sure it would be some kind of Zombie :)

A lot of lonely people stared out that window over the decades. They probably watched the snow fall against a street light at night missing family during the holidays. Maybe they heard faint Christmas songs coming from a radio at the nurses station. If they stood close enough they could feel the cold air seep in around the window frame.

Makes for a colorful shot and the low blue ones remind me of my old bean bag chair i used to fall into when i was a teenager.
