I have been reading several of the comments of this beach and sunset and they seem to of the conclusion that this is a nice beach.

i myself with my initial thoughts have the complete and opposite idea of this beach.

i find this beach creepy and lonely and I would not want to be there at all !

My first initial thought on this photograph is this:

Hansel and Gretel come across this house in the middle of the deep, dark German Forest and meet the most horrific Wicked Witch that there ever was. A Witch so terrible that she immediately captures Hansel and Gretel and soon after and devours them while they are still alive.

This building has an un-nerving look about. There is something sinister and scary about this building. I am not sure just what it is.......
I get this feeling that there was once a secret governmental department that had an evil plan to do something ? And just what that evil something was, I do not know.............

Well, that was my very first initial thought when I looked at this photograph.

Thank you for replying.

I remember when Motley Crue put their video on MTV. It was really cool !

And I don't even smoke.

But I do have to agree with ROXANNE though; this photograph does look like it came off of a 1970's album cover.

Glad to bring back some old memories.

Thank you for responding. I did not even see that word imprinted into the metal of the machine. This machine looks like something out of a 1950's horor film.

That thing on the floor sort of looks like an electrical fan but I am not for sure and that other thing is a fire department water hose.

RacheyBachey. I saw the movie "Attack of the Killer Clowns from Outer Space" when it first came out at the theaters. I thought that it was amazing that everything that a clown uses as a prop in the circus to make people laugh on Planet Earth was changed into something EVIL and SINISTER for the Killer Clowns from outer space. Even the "Popcorn" and "Shadow Puppets" would devour people whole.

One time when I was traveling by train thru Germany. (I cannot really remember where I was going or where I was coming from. I have traveled to several cities in Germany by train. I think that it was when I was going from Mannheim to Hamburg but I just cannot really remember. This was sometime in early 2007.) Well anyway, the train made a stop and a man and a woman got on the train and they sat down across from where I was sitting. They were dressed up as clowns. From the moment that I saw them I suddenly became some - what uncomfortable. I was not scared or anything like that. I was just uncomfortable. I cannot explain it either. These two people were talking to eachother at first during the train ride. I could tell that the man was not very happy. The woman was doing most of the talking. And then all of sudden these two people got into an arguement. They kept their tempers under control because of the fact that they were on a public train. Their arguement lasted for only a couple of minutes though. And after that they were silent for about 5 minutes or so. And then the woman started to talk. And then the man talked. After that they started to make little clown skits. For the next 30 minutes or so they spoke back and forth and continued to create little clown skits. There are three things that I remember very clearly. (1) Their face makeup was crude and cheap looking. (2) Their clown clothes were very drab in color. Their was nothing bright or festive at all about their clown clothes. This just struck me as odd. (3) This is strange but it seemed that no one else on the train even seemed to noticed that their was a man and a woman dresses as clowns. After about 40 minutes the train made a stop and these two people got off the train. I do not know why but felt better after they had left the train but I did.

stephen21, Thank you for replying.

When I look at the photographs on this website I write down the first thing that comes into my head because that is the most honest thing. And sometimes these photos will remind me of places and countries that I have been to or experiences that I have had while I been traveling throughout the world.

I LOVE this web site! I have looked at other websites that are somewhat similar to Motts website. And I can say for sure that those websites can't hold a candle to Motts website.

In fact, all those websites SUCK !!!

There are alot of old buildings here in East Germany. Mott should go to East Germany. (Of course bring a couple of people who speak, read and write perfect German and know there way around.) I have driven thru a little bit of East Germany. There are still alot of old buildings there. The young East Germans have thrown rocks thru the windows of these old buildings. And there is alot of graffiti on these buildings. There are portions of East German towns and small East German cities that look like ghost streets because the young East German people have left for West Germany to look for jobs. Alot of the young East German men have a hard time finding work because they do not have as good an education as the West German men. The education system under the old communist regime within the USSR did not prepare the young East German men for a good career. This is very evident because I have seen many young East German men at the Western German (haupbahnhof) train stations asking for money for food. Of course they spend the money on beer and wine. And to see a German man walking down the street with a bottle of beer or a bottle of wine in his hand and drunk as hell is absolutely no big deal here. The East German women are doing better at getting jobs than the East German men because they are better educated. They must of tried harder in school. I have taken only a few photographs because I have not had that much of a chance to travel around East Germany. And the weather is getting worse so I will have to wait until Spring to travel again. Trying to travel around Europe in the Winter is not easy.

Thank you again.

I still hate ferns for some unknown reason.
Maybe it is because I see ferns as a plant that is some sort of throw - back to primordial times. I am not sure. One thing is for certain. I will never have any ferns in any garden of mine.
