Unpleasant

Kathy W.

Vince, very well said. It is also upsetting to me that someone who has an illness that would cause them to do something like that is wandering around not being treated. Very sad.

Well put Lady and Ferdy. I actually thought that was dust until I read your description.

Banded

A splash of color, LOL Mr. Motts! Like Michelle said, I feel like I should be roller skating...perhaps while wearing an old Astro's jersey? ;-D

Specter

Kathy W.

I love everything about this! I agree with Lady, it does look very warm and inviting in there. Seeing the other building through the window is so wonderful, Specter is a perfect name for this. Great shot!

Cool shot, I like the reflection of the door in the window. (If it is indeed a reflection...)

Unpleasant

Kathy W.

LOL Ferdy!

Seriously, WHAT would possess a person to smear their excrement, oh, anywhere? I understand if a person has some type of mental illness. I guess what I am saying is that did someone who snuck in this building do that or is it left over from when this was used as a hospital? I am hoping it is left over.....

End of the Day

Kathy W.

I am excited to see a new gallery today! :)

I love the way the sun shining through another window mirrors the window in your picture. Good thing the sun was going down, it made for a wonderful picture!

Storage

Kathy W.

Ahhhh, school! My son just turned 3 but won't go to preschool until September (it just worked out that way financially for us). Anyway, I love him to pieces but will be happy when he's in school for a few hours! Not that it doesn't stop me from going on here (um, I'm in the middle of folding laundry and Liam is playing with trucks). :-D

LOL Mama, my husband is the same way! He checks a few pics out but is generally staring at some sporting event. He has espn.com, I have opacity! ;) Plus with 5 kids, damn, your hubby needs to give you a break, lol!

Outside

Kathy W.

Good point Mama, I can see how you would feel that way as well. Perhaps that was part of my feeling trapped...small and trapped. Eeeek! 8-0

Mama, I think that joke will NEVER die! At least I hope not....sorry Motts. :)

I once again have to commend Larry. VERY well said.

Motts, if I could write as well as Larry I would say the exact same thing. Thank you for another fabulous gallery and thank you for sharing your work with us. Um, I am also very happy that you didn't wind up IN that prison, LOL! :-D

@Mama, too funny. I love these colors too!

Love this pic, Motts. It's another long hallway and lonely (yet happy) chair shot! Nice!

I'm sorry Mama. :(

Matt, hilarious!

Unsold

Kathy W.

LOL A D Nilsen and Canada!

At least the chairs are all together. They need to go find their lonely friends scattered about the hospital.

Outside

Kathy W.

I know those are just window panes and not bars but I have to admit I feel trapped looking at this. I do like the brick building outside though.

Opening Skies

Kathy W.

I love the wood coming through the ceiling, love the lonely chair, love the hallway. Love this pic.
