Tentacle

Jim Allcorn

Cool.
Obviously, the stick figure in the tentacles grasp & the waves were added later, but I think the tentacle itself was a "legit" painting as opposed to graffiti.
Which gives us an interesting look inside the heads of those who worked there, don't you think?

HA!
Between being in B & W & the angle of the shot making that thing appear to be extra long, I get an image of Frankenstein's Monster being strapped onto it.
The Glenn Strange version from the cheesy 1940's flicks.

NO FAIR!
GirlJaye & Rapunzel's Wish stole my thoughts on this one & used 'em before I could. REALLY! LOL
Seriously though, once again BIG kudos to Motts for providing these sorts of stunning shots that speak to some of us in the same exact way , while evolking a different, yet just as relevent reaction from others.

Ah GirlJaye, such is the dilemma of urban exploration & it's "take nothing, leave nothing behind" credo.
While I totally understand & for the most part agree with it, it would just kill me to leave something like this behind, only to see it smashed up & disgarded during demolition just a little while later ... UGH!

Damn Motts, I wish I had your eyes!
No, don't worry, not LITERALLY! LOL
Just artistically. This is simply awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Love, love, LOVE this shot!
Makes me imagine a "guest" of the facility from years ago, somehow making his way up to the roof in an attempt to escape. Only to be faced with this.
A panoramic vista of stunning beauty that offers so much freedom & so many possibilities, but is forever out of reach. Because from here, there's only down, not out...
