I wish I couldtake a shower and dsnce around in all the different faucets in there!...ALONE THAT IS!

So Mister Motts did you pull it?

Giving this building cancer too?

Yuppola!!!! That is a pack of Kool's down there. Looks like the 100's too.

Motts should sneak into Alcatraz... that would be neat!

to get off topic. that looks like a discarded pack of smokes... on the drain

awesome shot- not only does the natural inviting-ness of an open door contrast with the foreboding of the overall mood, but the vines in the door show how long a door meant to be shut has been open

the perspective on this shot is amazing- it would be interesting to try with different lenses- (i.e. fisheye, wide angle especially)

I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THE ALCATRAZ TOUR. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN THE MAIN CELL BLOCK AND CANNOT WALK ON ANY OF THE TIERS. A VERY RESTRICTED TOUR, TO SAY THE LEAST, OF A FASCINATING PLACE. THAT WAS QUITE A WHILE AGO. MAYBE IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.

This is why I love this site - I had never even heard these terms until just now. :-)

Mathue, since I don't know what you are referring to, could you tell me which is which in this pic? Also, as you obviously know something about building and architecture, what is it in this pic that tells you that these are supporting a heavy load? It's interesting to me that you can tell that just from looking at this picture.

Uhm yah, I can see the pipes. As I said,

Interesting tension braces and turnbuckles on the ceiling. What is so heavy above this room?

And for THAT the original artists are heaving a sigh of relief. ;-)

I actually think you are allowed to goof around doing things like this if you aren't representing it as original art or profitting off of it. Surely someone around here is a copyright expert, yes?
