So sad and desolate. A wonderful image that could tell millions of tales.

Thank you G. Dammann for the info. :)

Pictures like this one invoke endless possibilities for the imagination. Great shot Motts!

Into the abyss...horrible and awesome picture.Probably your best chair-shot so far.

Not at all, thanks for the clarification! I've fixed the title.

Sorry, but again a generator, not a turbine. This is my first visit to your web -- excellent. Hope you aren't offended by my corrections.

Fascinating old single cylinder stationary engine. Hard to tell from this angle, but it probably was powered by either steam or natural gas (pre diesel). By the looks of the belt pulley on the far side of the huge flywheel, it might have run the generator in the previous picture.

Beautiful photos. But it looks like what you have here is a very large generator, not a turbine. Apparently the hospital produced its own electricity sometime in the distant past.

I think just as garth the photo is excellent...
For aly good question.
If the photo is of motts, good luck of an equipment of urban exploration in Spain, Europe totalmenteperdido@hotmail.com

The Boogyman! ....and they thought the poor child was insane.

Motts, this is my absolute favorite of ALL of your lonely chair shots--really evocative work here, brother-man!

NOTICE THE CLAW MARKS ARE ON THE -OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR,WHAT WAS TRYING TO GET IN??

plying the imagination to get beyond the door. not sure if i want to go that far.

I think sunlight was coming through leaves over the window, which often casts a bright green light such as this.

why in the world there would be toys for little children fashioned to look like clowns is beyond me, they are so CREEPY
