I'd call this one "Basement Stares" because I feel there's a pair of dark & malevolent eyes staring at me from just within the edge of the shadows. Extraordinarily creepy shot!

The green light definitely lends an eerie, yet beautiful, quality to this photo.

I can never tell which of your photos is going to make me gasp in surprise - this is certainly one of them. Just beautiful!

The slot in the cell door is indeed for passing a food tray or other items, but also for the prisoner to put his hands through in order to be handcuffed before being removed from his cell (and uncuffed afterwards).

Nah, coke isn't addictive ... I snorted, smoked, and injected it for 13 years and wasn't addicted at all! (The slow dripping sound you hear is my tongue bleeding sarcasm...) I'm lucky it didn't kill me, either directly or through the people I dealt with. Quit in 1990 when I finally realised that it was trying really hard to make me dead. Life is a lot better now, no drugs and oodles of pure love.

Very claustrophobic!

It appears to reflect the shape of the roof along one end. If they had built the hall with normal angles it would have forced them to build a very squared-off roof.

It doesn't seem to say much, some stoner's drivel and very difficult to make out.

Beautiful photo, though. They certainly didn't have windows like this in my old school.

More mindless vandal damage...

No faces, just glass broken by vandals.

Looks more like nine or ten sinks. The two closest to the camera have been broken off.

Is that a little Security cart heading out of the frameon the right?

It's as if the crew just beamed out, and nobody has been here in ages. I love it when a good photographer gets to a site before the vandals do!

Definitely a wallpaper shot! Well ... for me, anyway. But I change mine so often I sometimes don't even get to see it :-P

Memories ... I had an old clawfoot tub in my house in California. I loved it! But I loved my sweetheart more, now I bathe in a "modern" fiberglass tub.

For some reason, this photo gives me the creeps...
