Judging from the double row of (rivets? decorative head nails?), And that similarity to one of the other coffin's decorations, I am leaning towards a flap of the old cloth covering the lead interior.Just methinks!

Arms

Grumpy Ole Artist

Erus, negatory on wood con rods...They're steel, just discolored from oil/heat/time... wood would have been destroyed from the sheer force
of operating a behemoth like this.

Tech question: Do temperature extremes have any effect on digital cameras? (lens fogging, mechanism sticking, etc.)?

There used to be a "Mystery spot" in Gatlinburg also...Made my Dad sick to his stomach for the rest of the day! Water running uphill, etc.

2. VERY,VERY emotive, man!
3. The blurred shots were WAY creepy ("Scream", Pace", etc)!
4.( I think I've fallen a little bit in Love with Candace!)
No "shrinking Violet", she! Definitely my new fave wallpapers!

psssst ! it was a TB hospital, not an insane asylum....it IS a beatiful shot, though! Good work, as always, Motts!

Waterworks

Grumpy Ole Artist

I'm pretty sure that the labels over the valves are zone markers describing what section(s) of the building each zone controls...Each zone has a seperate shutoff for maintenance in a given area without requiring the entire building's water (steam?) to be shut off....IMO!

Layers

Grumpy Ole Artist

Looks like Oak, definitely a door at one point swung from those hinges, not bent wood, though, the grain is running vertically all the way across the opening....Old world craftmanship, Gotta love it!
Love the hall shots, Hate the pepto pink!
