if and when it's published you should have some system where you can buy it off the site.

How about the 50 points, the cumezekyamam and a Maker's Mark and Ginger Ale, double in a tall glass?
Or am I pushin it?

How about 50 points, a cumezekyama, AND a nice tall, cold drink!
**Captains, maybe?.....** *hint*...

And 50 points to Lyric or a cumezekyama, whichever she prefers! :-)

Rachel- It is totally natural to be more creeped out by the image of an empty casket. It brings mortality into sharp contrast.
It also, makes one realize that someone, somewhere in a building wrought with inhumanities, that someone really tried to give them something decent at the end.
We all have to remember that not everyone who worked in these facilities then were bad, horrible and cruel people. Sadly, it's the bad stories we remember because they are so prevalent.

Stunning. I see the tree as a protector in a way like a guardian not menacing.

Thats fantastic, i cant wait untill its published.

looking at this picture makes my stomach turn to lead, more than the others yet i have no idea why.

I would love to walk around here looking at everything and getting a 3D view of this place, I would be amazed and in awe, creeped out, yes but i would still love it.

*chills *feelings

A felling of dread creeps through my veins as i look at this picture. I love it but it chills me to the bone. *shivers* i dream of pictures as creepy as this, I love them, weird i know but i love the cills and the fellings of dread i get from your pictures. Amazing. The story of the asylum defenatly helps create a sinister feeling.

I definitely had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach while looking at these caskets. I think I know why (other than thinking about death not exactly being a pleasant past time)...my grandmother had an album of photos that had belonged to her family when she was young...several of the photos were pictures of some of her siblings who had died as children (why on earth they wanted to remember them in their coffins is beyond my comprehension.). Anyway, to make a long story short, the coffins in these pics and the coffins in my grandmother's family album photos are almost identical...of course on a smaller scale for children. As a child I had a morbid fascination with these photos...they scared me to death but I always looked at them every time I went to visit her.

Okay, that's my weird story for the day...Motts, thank you for this amazing website!

Thank you so very much, Barbara. :)

Sorry, Motts, I hope you don't mind me answering this question 8-)

Beautifully haunting, this pic. Is there any way to e-mail Motts?
