It looks like Indiana Jones did some exploring here before.

It looks like someone has a sense of humor...

Pieces

Kolfritz

It's beautiful. The Italians have long been the masters of tilework. When this place was built over 100 years ago, it was fairly cheap to have floors done this way. Just like in America around same time, skilled bricklayers could pave a street in no time at all. Nowdays, linoleum and asphalt are budget-friendliest.

Setting Sail

That's incredible. It makes the grainary on my farm look like a boring square with a roof

Intricity

Kolfritz

Wow, that brickwork is ornate! It reminds me of buildings and designs found in the middle east.

What a beautiful cathedral. I hope it will be restored someday.

Rashes

Hahaha... Motts, what you said cracked me up. The standing baby in the corner sort of looks like Chico of the Marx Brothers.

Ropes

Kolfritz

Highschool P.E. class.... I always felt bad for the guys who couldn't get to the top. The climbing rope was the worst part of the fitness finals...

Film Series

Kolfritz

Reminds me of grade school... we'd watch those boring science and National Geographic films with the monotonous narrators... oddly enough, that was circa 1999. My grade school was always the last in the district to get new things.

Exiting

Kolfritz

I enjoyed this gallery very much. As I sit in my computer room, the radio in the other room is playing the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. When I came to this picture, a somber feeling came over me. That picture with that music could have been a scene from a film. What the human brain can do with images and music is something of wonderment... Thanks, Motts, your pictures make me think beyond the surface sometimes.

That is a tangled toilet tower if I've ever seen one.

The Yard

Kolfritz

An interesting thing I noticed: The light pole is of the same type used along highways, although it is much shorter.

Cold Table

What Princessica and Rekrats say is very true. Modern X-Ray equipment can take a clearer picture more quickly while subjecting the patient to much less radiation than older equipment did.

Makeshift Bed

Kolfritz

That Blue-Green was a very popular color in the late 50's and early 60's. The grade school I attended, built circa 1958 had those same tiles. I own a 1962 GMC that is painted that color as well.

That's really cool the way those wires are connected.

The red rust color on the stairs is cool.

The yellows and greens really stand out. Great shot, Motts.
