The only animal I can picture making such a clean, precise line is a Tribble.

Roseola baby looks like Billy Crystal to me. Is this some kind of Rorschach test?

Afternoon

Birdy

Amazing, I love the sunlight in this photo, it really feels as though I am there.

Proof

Anyone know what movie this is from? A bit of a stretch of the memory, of course!

Bask

Interesting window. Why are there so many latches? It looks almost like you can open it one row at a time...

Sterile

I also find this a lot creepier than the older buildings... in spite of the sunlight and clean colours I just get an ominous feeling, and sad. Eek!

Mysterious Green

Thanks Motts for another great gallery! We really lose ourselves in these photographs, I can only imagine how fascinating it must be to actually walk there.

Ooh, I do like those cabinets though. And the paneling!

Gorgeous! Love the wide doorways.

It seems like they are more interested in restoring and preserving these buildings in Germany than they are elsewhere - in many other galleries from the UK and US it's noted that the buildings are slated for demolition. Yay Germany!

Barren Scene

I agree, it IS a very nice mural!

Together

I doubt these are from the T4 people... weren't these buildings used up until fairly recently?

Seventh:
this looks shockingly similar to the lab i work in at the moment!

Lucky. This looks so much nicer than the lab I work in at the moment...

Three Slabs

lol, Chrispy, especially if it was your annoying MIL who asked, just after picking up a piece of bread she'd dropped on the table and putting it in her mouth...

Sorry. I love my MIL dearly, but I'm lucky...

Sifter

Not so sure about that weird sifter though... would love to know what it does!

Yup, we have a drying rack like that in our lab as well. Not so much for test tubes, but you can hang beakers and flasks on it. We also use the bottom rows for hanging brushes, wire whisks, rags, etc...

Laboratory

Birdy

I loved your write-up on this place. I knew of course that Hitler murdered those he deemed mentally unfit, but I didn't know there were so many, or how he carried this out. I do think it's amazing though that they are planning to use these buildings still, instead of ripping them down - if only more places could do so!

Wow, what an amazing picture!!

lol AvalonSeeker, maybe that's why I liked it! Seriously, it looks roomier than my dorm bed...

Fade Out

Wow, this was a great set. I sometimes skip the industrial locations because I usually prefer the hospitals - I won't make that mistake again! Really interesting photos. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Plastic bags - they almost look like sandbags maybe?

Great photos, Motts, we're always grateful for a new set!
