I love the picture. You dont even notice the crumbling roofs at first. The sky gets the eyes looking up.

I am with Irish...I know its 35mm but is it digital? or a SLR? and man if you had the time in these places the shots you could come up with in B&W with an ol 4x5 camera

I think its called HEAVYSTONE!
Was it grey mr. Motts? with the lighting it casts off as shades of blue. Nice shot

Great shot....BUT I swear I did NOT throw that baseball anywhere near that window!

I love the view. Thats sooo cool. I love the green and the hills...
I live in the desert...all the green here still has a brown tint to it!....I cant wait to do a trip to europe...

Hey is this the shot you were looking for the dragon to fly over in!

Beauty...full shot!

Hey Motts how thick do you think those walls are? 8' or more?

Makes you feel smaaaaaall
Bridge troll's must of hated coming here to pay their taxes!

Nice shot Motts...I love the craftsmenship. the flowing of the arch, the incasement of the figure. and its how old??? People dont build things of beauty like this anymore. Everyones just worried about getting it done and if it looks like crap oh well they cant see it from where they live...so why care...
Love the pictures thanks a ton.

Kadee is right its just inviting you to come in and look...back into a a nother time and place.
Anyone know what the statue above the gate openning was of? or who?

Hey did you guys see the ghost dragon fly over! I swear I saw that!

COOL!!! Nice way to start Mr. Motts!! I (like the others LOVE castles..Wanna be rich and build my own someday)
Thanks for the info and the Pictures.

Van Gogo: I know what you mean I worked at a place when I was in high school. We made soups and mac & Cheese in the one we had. and using that paddle to mix it with the cheese in it was not easy.....and I am 6'-1"!

Ok I need a second milk...cause after reading all the comments all my milk came out my nose! ok..not funny you guys!

Nice Bottle I want it!!

WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!!! Come here Right Now....I am gonna wash yout mouth out with SOAP!!!!!!!

Sorry couldn't help it!

It really is "Clean" compaired to the rest of the place. and that fact that Jars and instruments are around still and that the looters havent found them yet is very cool. Thanks for the insite to these places Motts!!

I like how the distorted plaster on the wall looks as if souls are trying to push their way out of the walls.

Thats a great shot. And just think all that decay is 95% caused by what we need most to be alive......water.
Hey Mr. Motts do these places reek of dampness-mold. I know one sheet of sheet rock crumbling from water damage smeels pretty bad but the whole place doing it must be something. But you can almost sense it in the photos you shoot. but to really sense it you would have to be there. I guess you can re-live some of the smells and feelings of the rooms as you view the photo's afterwards just as you are still there.

Cant wait to get up in the cupola! But sure wouldn't want to have been the roofer! Thats a pitched roof!

Its just mother earth taking back what belongs to her.
After all everything it took to make the place came from something that came from the ground.
But I love the Ivy on the walls...we dont the lovely green stuff here in the desert.

Its a incredible shot thats for sure.
As for it being there it might have been an after thought. and enough room to add a straight stair case.

I am new to this site....ok I cant stop looking at it I found it monday and havent done a lick of work sense! I ve just been looking, learning and enjoying all the great photos. Mr, Motts you are very very good with the lens.
Lynne-You have my full respect for what you do and the others on here that do as you do.

Now for this picture...did anyone notice the white/aluminum colored line across the top right of the machine???? It becomes transparent as it crosses the square vertical tube...but it does not disapear!
Why I noticed that I dont know...
