Extravagant Fireplace

Barbara

Wow, that fireplace is magnificent! And thanks for the translation Bri, I've completely forgotten my Latin : / ...all I remember is the conjugation of "silva" or forest...silva, silvae, silvae, silva, silvum, silvis, silvorum....etc....err something like that. I also remember puella, "girl" or something like that. :P

Behind the Stairwell

Barbara

Wow, those staircases are absolutely gorgeous. When did this place close? It looks immaculate...perhaps due to the booby traps, but nonetheless...

Closer

Barbara

deafangel, those are exactly my sentiments. Not only is Danvers an incredibly historic structure, it is in fact sitting upon incredibly historic ground. People really need to use their common sense more and realize that we are losing everything that holds more than a fleeting thought. It wouldn't surprise me if I soon start to hear about plans for condos opening up inside the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower.

Privacy Curtain

Barbara

I remember seeing a college scholarship for having the best duct tape prom outfits...hmmm. Didn't know that was still a big thing. I reckon we would have been shot if we came to our dances wearing ducktape gowns. No, it was more of who's got the most expensive designer gown? : /

Rabbit

Barbara

I totally see what Lynne is saying...what is so weird those is how proportionally drawn the "bunny" ears are...there is no wavering, it would suprise me if a young child could steady their hand that well. Then again, I'm not around young children much. For all we know, it could have been some bored teenager thinking they were being funny.

Mezannine Seats

Barbara

Haha, I had a dream about Opacity last week (may have been the Nyquil, that stuff does some strange stuff...) Anyways, Motts was leading a tour of some abandoned place, and we had to climb down narrow walkway things, and I didn't like it because I am afraid of heights if I am not protected. Then we were like climbing down into this building and it was looking so pristine, like someone still lived there. Then all of a sudden everyon was turning to get out as fast as they could, I'm still not sure why (perhaps they spotted Covenant? lmao) and I was trying to gather my things and it was taking forever, and everyone was passing by me...I hate dreams like that! Especially those with an overwhelmingly evil presence that lingers in your soul for a long time.

Drip Door

Barbara

Wasn't she the only civilian killed in the war or something?
(never mind me, my parents took me on a "Civil War" themed vacation...yeah)

In this case, it really looks like rust water...

Shower Head

Barbara

God, why am I seeing things? That large paint chip to the left clearly resembles the bottom of a face, the nose and lips. *whaps head* Stop seeing things!!!

Death?

Barbara

People, people, it clearly says "Barbara."

Jeebus.

Ok, ok, yeah I know it says "Deth."

Stain

Barbara

I really think it looks like someone's hand was bleeding and they wiped it on the wall...it looks like really old dried blood to me...then again I wouldn't know what really old dried blood looks like... *shifty eyes*

Room Seven

Barbara

I see a face in the window, like someone has pressed their face against it, waiting to be let out...

Decrepit

Barbara

Where is ~Me, by the way? Haven't seen her around...

Anyways, I jsut love this 2 point shot! Those arches are fantabulous! I can jsut imagine that little area off to the left being a quaint little sitting room.

Tilt

Barbara

That door is really neat, it does look like a bedroom door (minus the little window) that you would find in someone's house, not an asylum.

By the way Johnny's mine! *pushes everyone else out of the way* ok, ok just kidding! I ain't that mean...but I get an extra long turn!!!! ; ) But I must admit that if I'm not on this site I'm on a Johnny message board!

False Exits

Barbara

* Shouts numerous obscentities at those that are tearing down Danvers* GRRRRRRRR

Now back to this photo. If you look on the second door back from the front, there is what looks almost like a picture of a woman drawn in the dust or something. Does anyone else see that (no, I'm not saying there is a ghost, jsut a strange design)!

Crumble

That floor is amazing, it looks like it could be the surace of the moon...

Gold

Barbara

I love how in the hallways the floors gently curve up to the walls, and how the doors remain open...perhaps forever...into the hall.

Early Morning

Barbara

Yay! New pics! And I was so worried, this site would not load for me last night! This place looks enthralling!

Motts, did anyone ever tell you you're not only a good photographer, but a good writer as well? You have a way with words!
