Holy Ding Dongs! Wow... This is one of those shots that just...well...plays with your mind. I mean, think about it. Looks just like you are peering into some sort of alternate dimension. Albeit, if I were there and saw that, and Jack Nicholson showed his face through that hole (in a strange hallucination not LSD induced), I'd probably lapse into cardiac arrest... I mean, this is like the Major Ding Dong of Doom super snap in this section... Nice going!

Wow... Super excellent shot!!! Reminds me of a hidden room medical dream I had years ago... It was sort of like this room, complete with cabinets, rusty medical apparatii (maybe not a word, but maybe too late to even slighly care) right down to the color of the peeling paint on the walls. Serious commendation for Mr. Motts! Should be given the title of Honorary Supreme Grand Sovereign High Photog Potentate and be rightfully revered for this excellent photographic work!

It's the Pixar lamp's younger brother Poxxar and sister Paxxyar upon learning that Pixar got selected to represent Pixar animation... They were apparently sad for weeks to come. Then were angry. Very angry. Zapped quite a few before the power was cut.

Let's see here... Put a strong walled hose in the hole-thingy, fill it with nutritional material (what it tastes like or looks like might be very well irrelevant), get some good pressure going on it, take some misbehaving brats and handcuff and footcuff them to the table, take the other end of hose and put it on 'em (use of a divider for multiple brats is useful too) then let 'em have it. Vertical Nutrition Propulsion System indeed! No more whiners about disgusting food! Careful with the pressure though, don't want the brats to go splat. Would be very messy indeed...

Don't ask me why, but this particular photo reminds me for some strange reason of the legendary classic horror/Sci-Fi movie Day of The Triffids. Kind of like a sequel of sorts. Maybe something like Night of The Triffids. Seems to me the Triffids have mutated and are now launching their final attack. Man, my subconscious had better lay off the crack.

Kind of a weird title... Didn't know those desk bells were actually known as tap bells. First thought that hit my mind was that these were bells that they put on tap shoes. Mouth gags were mentally pictured as being another name for ball gags... Blame my mind. Or my subconscious who is probably somehow smoking crack.

Interesting aspect to this one as well. Would have never guessed bedsheet warmer, but that is cool indeed. Should be used a place to put those who don't believe in the supernatural are a part of these old abandoned places. Yeah, mind tricks you at times, but only 5% of it is that. Plus, it also takes someone who is also sensitive to the Psychic Plane as well. So please be a little more understanding. Mind tricks in these type situations happen, yes, but not *all* or 100% of the time.

Of all the classic shots on this website, this one is, for whatever odd reason, freaking me the hell out big time. Don't know why, it looks to me like those are...arteries and veins...as if this building was somehow actually alive and the arteries and veins were hidden, but when the sickness and death piled up it slowly died off, thus the said arteries and veins became exposed. Nice photo though. Super creepy in aspect for me though, but not gonna flee...

Looks like a nice place to relax & enjoy the sun, even better on a nice warm day with a cool gentle breeze blowing & the skies blue as they are in this shot.

I'd take a travel chair & a book, sit here, read & enjoy the sun & air. This is such a calming image.

here piggy piggy piggy

been there many times better hope i dont catch you ina dark hallway! haha

What a shot, Motts. I really like all the colors in this shot, the greeness of the ivy & other plant life, the redness of the brickwork, the whiteness of the concrete & the rust on the window frames.

House broken into after visiting the hospital. Any clues on how and why this happened?

A tap bell is used for communication, the same as you would see on a hotel's front desk. For years modern (day) health facilities now have electric call lights in all patient's rooms, to call a nurse. During the earlier years of this facilities existence, I'm sure the tap bell was the main source for calling a nurse. Though today the bells are still widely used by patients who may have trouble speaking, low mobility or who is outside of their room away from the more modern convenience of a call light. TB patients were often left to sun in areas of the hospital out side of their rooms.
