Tangled up in Blue

Dig that hand-wheel coming out at an angle from the housing,there.

Always ominous.
Makes me think of,among others ,this storm drain outlet in Juniata Park(Phila.)
I remember as a child the outrage of fear when I was there with my father and teenage girls and boys were hanging-out there and some of the boys (girls ,too)were going in there with penknives to kill rats.
Pretty quiet there now,overlooking Frankford Creek,the wall above the hole with it's little castle-like stone peaks. Nice place to get high. Every once in a while the hole will hiss and belch out some kind of vapor.
Only thing happened there lately is a few years ago some boys were playing there after a heavy summer rain when the creek was raging and one of the boys fell in and immediately was sucked under the concrete slab that forms part of the sluice that cants away from the hole.
For some unknown reason the kids ran and biked alll the way to North Philly for help,several miles away.Oh well.
Only other thing is they found a body there a few years ago..

Looks like a little water seepage got in there.

I was looking for a fern like that.

Coal tar really wrecks havoc with the genitalia.(prolonged exposure)

Sitting across from each other...............

That apron and strap didn't protect me.

Pee in # 3

My name is Christian Geshensen and I wrote Silent Hill.

I'll take two.

As hard and dangerous as mining is, you still get paid for the long ride in. Hopefully there will be a long ride out. Either way, you have time to think about it.

Now, ya see, you get trapped down in there, I mean really trapped, with some kind of land octapoid type monsta and you're gonna have problems distinguishing which is which.
