Lonely pair of chairs. LOVE it.

Those are old-school diapers, too, the kind with the plastic outer shell. They don't make em like that anymore - they're now covered in the soft, "fabric-like" paper that is waterproof but supposedly more biodegradable. These things, now, they will be here (environmentally) in five hundred years, still lingering in our soil.

I see this and shudder. It's why I use cloth diapers for my kids. Yeesh.

Weeeeeeeird. Super-tall door, across which was painted a wide, blue stripe. The painting along baseboards stuff is nothing unusual, but continuing uninterrupted across the door is not very common. The color stands out, especially considering the soft pastel shading at the upper reaches of the room.

WOW! Beautiful shot. It also made me realize that the rusted bedsprings of the previous picture appear to be full- or queen-sized, whereas nearly every other bed, either decrepit or eerily made (such as this one), are single-size. Who in this place of unknown ghosts warranted a spacious, queen-sized bed in times past?

This room would have certainly been my choice for accommodations. The windows give a light and clarity to the corner space that would have certainly served to lighten spirits.

@Spydertap - I agree, it's like a lead-based snowfall the way it gently covers everything in an even blanket. You can almost hear it crunch quietly beneath your boots as you reverently peruse the halls of encroaching decay.
