This gets my vote for newest wallpaper!

Spiral Stack

This tower was obviously not designed to be defended by sword wielding solders. What were they thinking!!

Spaces

DSH

The red brick checkerboard looks like it was added after the fact. Cool looking, but out of place.

Wallpaper?

Please?

Lineup

Did someone REALLY need a seat belt to do their business?!!

No; on second thought, I don't wanna know...

Beached

DSH

My guess is that the doors are of normal width (2'-8" to 3') but are unusually tall (maybe 8'?) With the transom above, they end up looking very narrow.

Prime Time

DSH

Are you sure that's not a flat screen TV showing a picture of a dark corner with some surface-mount electrical wiring...?

Carpet

DSH

Can't be 100% sure, but it looks like the 'before' picture features a tiled floor.

"IN CASE OF FIRE

Burdick Diathermy Unit

DSH

"designed to produce electromagnetic oscillations centered at 27.120 megacycles"

This is essentially a microwave oven operating in the shortwave radio spectrum (3-30 MHz) rather than in the GHz range of modern microwave ovens!

Wrap

Rotate 90° and... Wallpaper!!

Location: Riverside State Hospital  Gallery: Delicate

Delivery

DSH

Actually, the 'light fixture' (between the sink and towel dispenser) is probably the remnants of the soap dispenser, with the plastic reservoir missing from above...

Sterilizer

DSH

It's an autoclave, used to sterilize reusable medical instruments via high heat and pressure.

Not to compare photographers, but this looks similar to John Gray's photography. Its really cool, I love the picture. =]

Spot the Monster

Is it behind the camera?



j/k ;)

Shadows

DSH

This looks like something out of a John Gray gallery. I think that black and white photo's capture the real beauty of the place.

maybe my high school art class could do something like this, minus the vandalism, but the pic is a pneunominal ( yeah spelled wrong) shot

I think the walls are bleeding!
