I'm jealous. My staircase doesn't have a bannister anything like this. It is just beautiful. Someone did an amazing job.

This is wonderful. I like this shot.

They wanted to use every bit of space. Great idea.

This does look like something on a movie set. Very neat!

Maggots were the quickest way to kill dead flesh. (Civil War Re-enactor)
I like the flowers on the tub myself. It gives the room a personality.

I like this shot. I'm not sure it would look the same in color though.

I love this picture. Wish it was on my wall.

They need something like this in one of the nursing homes here. Lots of shoulder problems, they're doing it the hard way.

Has no one here worked in a hospital or been around in the 70's or even after? Cribs like these with covers over the top have been used in children's/pediatric wards for years. It's a safety issue, if no one is with the baby/toddler all the time, the tops of the cribs and the sides are secured so the child doesn't fall or climb out. I remember as a student if we left one of the tops open, we were in big doodoo. It's not a cage, it's a crib. Haven't any of you with children EVER had your kiddo in a "pack'n'play" or playpen? If not, check with your parents, cos you probably were.

Once many years ago, when I was married and we were looking at houses to buy, we happened upon a gem which had "servent's stairwell" like this, it looks QUITE like this one, actually. It was off the kitchen, thru a dorr that was made to blend into the cupboards. We didn't buy the house tho, the location was not good, but this stairwell brought back the memory of looking at it!

Wow, the fire escapes on the left sure do look confusing...maybe they are slightly deteriorated or it's just the angle of this shot. Lovelovelove the pics by the way, I've given the site address to about 20 people, now we want you to come and shoot our hospital's old 6th floor surgery area and the old nurses residence before it's completely remodeled!

The wound care department in the hospital where I work doesn't use maggots, but I've seen many articles and a few documentary-type shows that show the progress this treatment makes. I know of a few patients that have come into the ER with open wounds that have had maggots in them-apparently you realy don't feel itching at the site, usually these types of wounds are far too deep for superficial type of sensation.

That's one big toilet seat, unless it's just the perspective of the shot. Maybe it had another type of seat that fit over it.

Lynne's right, it's the framework from a patient lift, we call them Hoyer lifts.

Love the shot.
