that bold red exit wall just screams, doesn't it? probably an effective directive ico fire or some other emergency evacuation, but sinister-looking nonetheless. i love the "mirror inside of a mirror" effect of the halls beyond.

what's that yellow thing on the wall opposite the row of windows about halfway to the exit? looks like ivy, or some other plant creeping in, to me.

the photo almost looks like it was done in watercolor. interesting composition, motts.

ahh, perhaps the bar around the tub was really a pipe. it makes sense if those are indeed jets.

and look, a tv on the end! iow, the perfect tub! if i had something like that in my house, i'd be a big, pink raisin today. ;)

what's up with the bar around the tub? i wonder what that was used for.... looks like the tub was actually rivetted to the floor.

great use of kodalith there, motts. the effects are quite striking. nice impact.

...and the rest of us could see that same scene and all we'd see is raggedy-ass curtains and a wet floor. You rock, Motts!

Why does this remind me of a birthing tub??

Mr. Motts, where was this area? (My standard question, huh)
-In a basement or a kitchen/utilitarian-looking area? (These blocks were used to draw in light where there was little.)

Ha ha can you imagined if someone asked you to go "The Morgue" on the first date! Hmm I'd either run the other way really fast or be throughly enthralled.

I would love to start a bar in NYC called The Morgue... the freezer trays behind the bar could slide out with all the liquor on there, autopsy tables to hang out at, old medical equipment and jars of various things on the walls, metal and industrial music, live bands...

Quite helpful if someone is on a diet, too. ;-)

I would love to turn one of those trays into a coffee table. Can you picture the convo, please hand me a slice of pizza, did you know this table came from the morgue.

It looks like it was used for sitz baths. They have those in the ob wards of hospitals.
