781 Comments for Old Saint Nicholas Coal Breaker

I think Motts is right this looks a changing room

I think this type of shoe was called a Brogan

I graduated from high school in 1955 , so you can never be too old to enjoy Motts gallerys

Would make for a gigantic still..

Remind me of hats for robot coolies

@binaninaa...yup, but that means you fit right in here. :D

A rusty old sunflower...sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie about a race of alien robot people...

(See I am weird too...you are in good company lol)

LMAO @ everyone! HEy CrimsonRain...that is the same reason I have become so addicted to this site too! I love these guys (and gals) like family, and Motts is just THE BEST at what he does...these old abandoned and unloved places come alive, if only for a second, and everytime you look at them, you see something NEW and EXCITING in them. :)

Motts...we love you man. You are more than the cat's meow...you are the whole cat AND catnip AND all the toys...

AND...I am gonna shut up now. :D

Oh, and *defiantly* I will put my fingers wherever I please, lololol!

LOL@ bobo!! Now THAT would be worthy of a Nobel Prize lol. :D

I swear my dryer eats them. :/

That dang greenish blob...still creepy.

LOL OMG eldokid...I thought you were much much younger lol. Maybe it is the "kid" in your name??

I bet you are a great person, and fun to be with. :D Hey...you already have an awesome "hobby"-looking at Motts pictures!!! :D THAT ALONE makes you awesome!

I wonder why on some of these galleries, the papers in them are almost disinigrating, and in other pictures, the paper looks like it was from yesterday? Strange days, indeed.....LOL!

@CrimsonRain Anytime. :D

Something keeps drawing my attention to this picture, but I can't put my finger on what is so fascinating about it.

It just reminds me of something....a dream...a memory?

Don't you HATE when that happens???

Yeah Eldokid, I don't expect an exact location, and that is fine with me, as I understand about the privacy thing and all. :) It's all good.

I just found out from DH that the huge coal breaker that was real close to where I live has been destroyed or taken down...but it is gone. :( We have railroad tracks though that are still in use and along them you can find old cars just sitting...and you can imagine them being pulled by a train that was perhaps also pulling cars of coal from the mines here. :)

I dont think if you got your arm caught in it you would lose said arm. you would lose said life. but it is amazing how things like this are built to last. the siza is amazing. I also think wallpaper might be needed on this one. Thanks Motts for taking me on adventures around the world and in my own back yard to things I would never get to see otherwise.

it looks a little sad and forlorn. like its family just up and walked out one day and time stopped for it.

hmmmmm, sort of like an early luge track just get it wet and let it freeze. who's in with me?

it does look like a rusty flower doesnt it? I can picture a field of them, is that weird probably.
