Grifspop Felyne, you're right on the money- Motts uses opacity to describe the dirty, often opaque views that he gets of these old structures

	Grifspop I could imagine Sara Conner doing chin-ups on a bar that was suspended from each wall

	Grifspop Very sterile and institutional looking place, I expected it to look more Gothic and ornate

	Grifspop I really like the tilted perspective, it makes you feel as if you're climbing from one rooftop to the next.

	Grifspop That was when Motts called a soap dispenser a light fixture by mistake, and he's been such a good sport while we've totally blown it out of proportion. Just don't ask about the derbies......

	Grifspop Is that like when you throw a toaster into the hydrotherapy tub? Sounds cruel to me.

	Grifspop Thanks, Jude, and Happy Belated B'Day to our wonderful Dr. Lynne

	Grifspop I'm doin great, Tony C., thanks for asking. Nothing like another gallery from Lord Motts to brighten up your day. He just seems to be getting better, what with the angles and the infra red shots, not to mention the black and white shots. Keep up the good work, Motts, you've got quite a following here.

	Grifspop It's hard to believe that a place with such historical significance wont be restored

	Grifspop I think it's a portable dentist chair for the English, that's the little sink that you spit in.

	Grifspop I think it's used to shoot confetti at the end of a concert or political rally LOL

	Grifspop Sad to think that our decendents will only know what a Kirkbride is from a book, not a building

Grifspop "Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" Dark Side of the Moon stayed on the Billboard charts over 14 yrs, it's like a rock masterpiece. Tony C., I'm still out here checking Motts' site , just haven't been posting as much

	Grifspop Great set, Motts, I especially like the last infrared shot. My only complaint: Where's the signature lonely chair shot????

	Grifspop On a similar note, are all the Kirkbrides gone?

	Grifspop Lyrics from one of the greatest songs of all time: "Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way"

	Grifspop Fantastic gallery Motts, now I just have to get my wife to massage the crick in my neck. Seriously, I really enjoyed the slanted perspectives from this gallery, it shows that you are still growing artistically... even though many of us thought you were at the peak of your skills, you continue to awe us with your stiking pictures.

	Grifspop I like the ginormous ironing board, but I was shocked that the vandals that broke the stained windows didn't break the glass over the Maxiform

	Grifspop This is one of my favorite shots, the detail is phenomenal. Only an ultra high end place would be built with this kind of detail today, but back then attention like this was given to a state school. Kind of says something about the times we live in.
