Mr. Motts, I have "Opacity listed in my "Favorites", when I click "OPACITY". This Browser brings up the "old" look of the site with out "Make a Donation" on the tool bar. After I go to "Gallery" donate does show up on the toolbar. People may be missing this opportunity. Just a heads up for long time fan's of the website.

Mr. Motts, Thank You for the new Gallery. I just realized that you have provided a way for us to help out with some of the expense of this amazing website. The "new look" of the site is very pleasing to the eye, the photography is "eye candy". I am pleased to see "Donate" on the top right of the toolbar. I plan to contribute this morning. I expect other fans of OPACITY will want to pitch in too. The stunning photography catches my eye and all I notice is "Next".

Awesomely Done Mr. Motts! Lovely photography.

Alot of planning and work went into this. The patients that could get up here must have loved this!

Ontario, Thats was my thought also!?! Bet the view was breath-taking ...if you could get up there.

How Lovely! Reminds me of a staircase in a lighthouse.

Love this hammered metal!

Pipes may be bent like that to compensate for heat expansion

Wonder why the pipes are bent like that?

Do you happen to get a look inside that small building in the hill?

Yup I thought it was pretty solid, there didn't seem to be any water damage.

The white brick building was attached to the building I was in, it seemed like it was added on to the original structure. I can't recall what it's purpose was, perhaps a kitchen.

It's a pretty wide angle photo, but the window was also big!

Yeah there's a little shed out there. The graves were painted with a number, but they've all worn away by now.

I believe those the original forced air heating vents built into the wall.
