The intestines of the building.

Human hands touched each & every brick during construction. One by one they were cemented in place by bricklayers.

Nature reclaiming what's hers. Resistance is futile. All will be assimilated.

I just don't get it. Why do these pin heads go into a building and trash it? Is their gene pool too shallow? Are they compensating for their genitals short comings? Sad, sad, sad.

It's a regular thing in Britain :)

Just FULL of disappointment after disappointment....

Warm alcohol. No hot water. No grit and salt to grit the roads and save people from crashing and killing themselves. Chavs on every street corner and in every job centre. All of my friends have children, and I'm only 18, they keep telling me to have a baby. Horrible parents. Crap food.


By the way...

WHAT THE HELL ARE 'TWINKIES'?!

I want to try one :)

Yeah, Ashi.

Because there would really be random dead bodies lying around the place.

Fool.

'WANNA PLAY A GAME?'

I stayed in a hotel recently to do some training for my job...

The lifts were fine... It was the stairs that scared me :)

The whole of the hotel was modern and built up, but the stairs were left behind... brown tiles and a steralised feel to them... one metal staircase rail fitted on the wall, and just flights and flights of stairs...

I can just imagine one person standing in each door way...

Pale, solitary and expresionless.

Waiting for some sort of order, or demand, to be asked of them.
They would obey, because they have no other options. Once you go in, you never come back out. Your soul no longer is 'your soul'.

Thank you for keeping history alive with your beautiful pictures. Your artwork truly captures me and is so captivating. What an awesome profession. I'm jealous. I would love to explore through history like this. Again, thank you.

This is my favorite picture on the whole website. I just made it my baclground for my computer. I'm going to kppc in 5 days, anyone have advice?

The power plants were built specifically for the hospital as most institutions were situated in remote areas where they could not connect to a city's steam and power lines. Coal was brought in by locomotive and burned to generate enough power and steam (for heat) to supply these massive hospital campuses.

This power plant at Kings Park is actually the fourth plant built over the lifetime of the hospital.

It looks like Luxembourg's flag to me...

This is amazing.

I love stuff like this. I am always looking for dates and times in old pictures.
