The way that this photo was shot is really nice. It really shows the full expanse of the room, doesn't it?

Earth

Kassie

I love the capture of the textures in this one, it reminds me almost of a piece of old parchment. It's gorgeous and sophisticated.

Sequential

Kassie

It just seems to expand to forever, what a beautiful photograph. Actually, at first, it reminded me of looking into a mirror.

Seating

Kassie

Those seats are beautifully made, but it gives me chills how it's backed by oblivion or eternity. Just...darkness.
I can't take my eyes off of this! Especially the way the seat is faded.
You've certainly don this place justice, Mister Motts!

Illumination

Kassie

I love this. It's so beautiful and elegant. And the ghostly lighting of the stage is just amazing!

Pivot

Kassie

Wow, what a dizzying view!

Scarred Seclusion

Kassie

You're right, Motts. These are beautiful scars!

The Light

Kassie

I swear my classrooms in enrichment looked like that. Uh oh...

Jungle

Kassie

That's actually a very nice and refreshing thing to see, instead of creepy clowns on the walls!

Rusted Children

Kassie

The bears...:(

Table Lamp

Kassie

i dont know what it is about this shot, but I cant look away from it. It feels so foreboding, and yet so familair and homey at the same time...

Fleeting Shadows

Kassie

Motts, not enough can be said to describe this picture. There is something so beautiful about it, it really stands out. I don't know what makes it so special, but my God. It's amazing.

Alien

Kassie

As much as I generally dislike graffiti, I must admit, that piece is quite beautiful, and almost adds to the picture. Awesome capture, and beautiful work, as per usual.

Open Hatch

Kassie

I have to ask...what do you figure the purple and the red is from?

Staircase

Kassie

Wow, that is amazing. It looks like a staircase you'd find on the Titanic, not in a brewery. This must've been a pleasant surprise.

Engine House

Kassie

All of the shots in this gallery are wonderful, but I love this one the most. It truly looks like a piece of abstract art. Oh, if structures could only talk.

Tentacle

Kassie

Usually, I'd be prone to whine about graffiti, but I think in this circumstance, it actually adds character. It's not your characteristic stylized "Nuggz wuz here" or the usual obscene body part graffiti we see in America. Here, it's colourful and artistic.
I kinda' admire it.

Vaulted

Kassie

Extraordinary.

Suspend

Kassie

Wow, what a hallway shot. The lights just add so much character to it, don't you think?

They sure don't make 'em like that anymore, especially not back in the Western hemisphere.

Rest

Kassie

Motts, this was an amazing gallery, and so different too! I love the vibrancy and lushness of the colours. Beautiful.

Roundabout

Kassie

What a find. Everything seems classier across the pond. You definatly don't see something like that in North American Hospitals...or not very much of the old ones.
Revolving doors are my enemy, anyways.

Entrance

Kassie

Oh wow, Mr. Motts! This is such a wonderful shot. It seems to surreal!

Tilt

Kassie

Wow! What an angle, indeed. It's a little extreme, and disorienting...but all the while, it's still quite beautiful. Lovely work.

Rusted Strings

Kassie

This shot reminds me of the lyrics to a Tom Waits song.

"Your hair is like metal grass..."

Metal grass indeed. ^_^

Engineering

Kassie

Hmmn...the switch between institutionism and this shot is...very quick. For a second, I thought I was in a whole different gallery!
