If a building collapses in the woods, and no one is around, does it make a sound?

Ah who am I kidding... it looks like the Jolly Green Giant hawked a lugie on the roof... icky.

This one is great for a wallpaper.

Overall, GREAT gallery this time!! :)

C-Note;
Well, I can see the film gate and a guide wheel in addition to an empty focus ring, a hand feed crank, a motor connected via a small round rubber belt and film reels. If it's not a 16mm projector it is doing a good job of looking like one.

Amazing gallery. I got back from my own Europe Adventure a month ago. This last picture reminds me of how new houses are framed. It goes through a cycle of life as joyous and sad events alike are played out inside until it is left alone, starts deteriorating, and returns to its former baby-shell.
Ah well, that's my attempt at 12 AM philosophy ;)

these are real photos. Mr. Motts takes these photos and shares them along with his experience while photographing them via this blog.

beautiful work here - lovely, yet somewhat hellish.

is this real or fake?

I love this angle!!

I've been silently admiring these galleries for over a year now....but just wanted to let you know how amazing your photos are....and what amazing sites you've discovered! Keep up the wonderful work you're doing!

I can't make money off this to be a career, but I wouldn't call it a hobby. It is definitely a large part of my life

At least (hopefully) your site is bringing these castles and buildings back to some kind of public awareness. Even if its only here on this page....I like to think the buildings went out with that last breath of thanks for having at least us as an audience in awe of its history and beauty.

hmmm lol usually the only time i see from this angle is after my 4th shot of whiskey :D

even with all of it's beauty, I would have still been waiting for something to grab my ankle lol

I'm kind of dumb to these things, but do most of these buildings lay in the hands of the (government) ? Is that why so many lay in ruins? I guess I'm just a dreamer but I'd love to hear one day that someone formed a historical society and fixed it up for the sake of preserving it's timeless beauty.

Next time holland/belgium/germany i really hope to meet u motts, got several places worth to shoot. (trainstations, old factorys and churches...)

Heya, Silky!
