Um... I think Motts had a light fixture vs. soap dispenser moment...

We were talking about the little alcove things on the right side of the picture... not the windows in the upper left.

My grandmothers victorian era house has horizontal electrical outlets... I think is was a common practice "back in the day." Was it Lynne? - hehe

You guys are really weird. PML!

We call them sockets here. Wall sockets. But then I was just chatting on another blog about Ice Blocks. We call popsicles IceBlocks, and what you call iceblocks we call icecubes or just plain 'ice'. Oh, and we have NO EXITs not no outlets. hahaha we all speak the same language, yet we dont.

We're all weirdos on this crazy place we call Earth. :)

You're so intelligent Motts! Can I um... Will you um... Nevermind...

Don't feel too bad, I am too!

Okay, I have the answer. It's where they stored their cigarettes. Nicotine is both an S1 and S4 category poison. Plus, their for internal use, right. And it explains why there lock appears so used. It's the only logical explanation.

I promise I'm letting this go now. Promise.

Incredible gallery Motts...you have such a gift and I'm so glad you're sharing it with us. Can't wait till the next set. Thank you.

That is simply gorgeous. There are no other words...

Definitely gets my wallpaper vote.

Excellent shot Motts.

You can almost hear birds flying around in the rafters.

I love how most of this shot seems to be black and white, except for the subtle green and red in the middle. Gorgeous shot Motts.

I love that the grass and foliage is so green! As a New Yorker for most my life I'm so used to faded brown and grey nature. Now I want to visit Europe even more.

I love the light streaming in...almost seems to have a life all it's own.

It seems so clean and undisturbed compared to the rest of the shot.
