Tumble Downward

Kez

It's shots like these that grab my heart. The elegant grace of the staircase slowly fading away; what's left of its grandeur vanishing with time and decay. Sad, but beautiful.

Writing on the wall

Kez

I've loved this poem since I was a teenager. The last stanza always hits me in the heart:

Then star nor sun shall waken,
Nor any change of light:
Nor sound of waters shaken,
Nor any sound or sight:
Nor wintry leaves nor vernal,
Nor days nor things diurnal;
Only the sleep eternal
In an eternal night.

- Absolutely beautiful words.

You closed yourself in the room to get this shot, Motts?! I think you're crackers, but I still bow down and worship the hem of your garment! (Chuffed to bits with the new galleries; best birthday prezzie a girl could wish for :)

The Mangler

Kez

There's an interesting juxtaposition between the evil-looking blades and the elegant curves of them. It's cruel yet graceful...

You'd better hide it from me, Rekrats... ;) *WANTS!*

It looks like even the chairs have given up hope :(

One of the best lonely chair shots yet...and a wallpaper to boot. I'm in heaven!

I've never seen a fireplace with mesh doors before. Brilliant!

Even though it was roasting there, that pic looks decidedly chilly to me.

Makes me think of a battery chicken farm. Utterly horrible, but a cracking shot!

Absolutely wonderful stuff, Motts. You should be well chuffed with this set! Not only are the photos immense, but the facts were really interesting too. Thank you!
