LOVE this!!! Great perspective and framing. For those who don't "see" it, I think Motts is standing on a landing or steps between two flights in a stairwell, shooting at the level just above, and the part that looks like duct work on the right is the underside of the next flight. Sorry if I'm wrong, Motts ;-o. Not presuming just a guess.

this is kind of freaky, what do you think Debbie?

I wonder if those were the original toilets. Its kind of strange to see that kind of bathroom at a vacation place

Hmmm. Ummm, just NO. Being "relaxed" about certain issues is one thing. Then comes the line that is not to be crossed. Clothing-optional beach? Fine. Even a rare communal shower at the gym (which thankfully, as far as I know, no longer exists), is still (albeit reluctantly) OK. "Individual-stall-optional" bathroom, however? NOT fine! :-0.

this looks kind of institutional for a vacation place

Great to see a new gallery! Miss you Debbie

Almost looks like this was flooded, with a "waterline" on the walls. I like the shading around the corners. Makes it seem like looking through a peephole into a corridor.

Probably not too many ghosts lurking in a building that was never put to its intended use, I'd think...

It looks so sterile. Was this directly across from the nightmarish communal toilets?

I love the blue on the steps!

Well, the resort itself may not have been the stuff of dream vacations, but the view... incredible!

Sunken ships... urban exploration under water! Very cool. Well, it would be if it wasn't located in the Baltic.

One thing that has always emphasized the sense of abandonment in places like these are the dead fluorescent lights overhead. How long since they last glowed? What did they illuminate in their time? How eerie that they now preside in total stillness over the complete lack of artificial light? Yeah, it's weird, but I always notice them.

I guess these lights never saw much of anything going on... imagine if the war had not stopped construction, if this had actually come to fruition as a massive, mandatory getaway for the German population. What then would these hallways have housed? It would make a good alternative history novel....
