Mnementh Just to settle the debate, the lamp, if it IS a Henningsen (and not a knock-off), is the ARTICHOKE design, is about 33" in diameter, and is of very complex design...not something you could hack out with a pair of pliers & screwdriver. Also, they're selling at auction for around $1500-2500. Not worth it, IMO, for all the work and illegality... http://www.fotopluss.no/fb/arkiv/000126.php

	Mnementh This is what happens when all those lonely chairs get together - a CHAIR ORGY! ^_^

	Mnementh You've been a BAD CHAIR! Go sit in the corner!!

	Mnementh They appear to be fastened BOTH to the wall -and- the ceiling! Real '40s industrial tech design though...

	Mnementh A timeless picture... (bleah, I know...!!)

	Mnementh I wouldn't want to be the director of a production of, oh, say Antigone showing to a theater full of patients that had to be restrained...

	Mnementh Looks really steampunk, like something out of a Jules Verne novel...

	Mnementh Another strange thing about it is that dark colors like black or dark blue are near impossible to keep clean of dust and water marks.

	Mnementh Jeez, this house is out of Poe, or more like Lovecraft!

	Mnementh How can it make sense to let it sit and rot to the point that the roof collapses? Argh...

	Mnementh Like the chronicles of Narnia...there's a lamp post in the middle of the woods!

	Mnementh The preceeding reasons are why I'd guess the 40s or early 50s. Note the lack of any plastic parts or decor. Plastic was developed during WWII.

	Mnementh What a great view! This place sure appears to be secluded way back in some thick woods!

	Mnementh The angled walls & set in windows always make me think of military bunkers...

	Mnementh The solarium is slowly growing it's own biosphere

	Mnementh Looks like it was taken in Cuba!

	Mnementh Yummy! Asbestos tiles!

	Mnementh That's eerie! How many people had their last ride on this set of wheels?

	Mnementh It looks like unexposed 35mm camera film?

	Mnementh Porn photo shoot?!?? Hmmm... There's a local photographer here who does artistic nude photography at industrial/urban sites. But I suppose they aren't talking about that, heh...

	Mnementh The thing that suprises me is how the bulbs are still working. I tried rigging up a lighted area in the basement for my mother's plants to winter out in. I used flourescent fixtures but the tubes would usually die out after 2-4 months of 16h/day use. Go figure...

	Mnementh Incredible! You'd never see a building these days with such beautiful decorative tile. The workmanship required to do it would be hard to find...

	Mnementh Amazing...the leaves look like they're made of glass...

	Mnementh How do you do IR with a digital camera? Do you use a filter or what? (I'd assumed you were using film till I just saw you're using a 300d Rebel)

	Mnementh Was that plant dead or was the ceiling gone so it got water occasionally?
