i concur with the people who said that this photograph has a likeness to a Stephen King novel or an Romero zombie movie.

It's the Mary Celeste of powerplant offices.

Bathtub With Window

Untouched by age. This room seems to trapped in some kind of time warp.

It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right.

Crib With Sheet

ParadoxEngine

The sheet adds so much to the photograph, it was once white, clean and fresh but time and abandonment has reduced it to a dirty remenant of once was.

It's not creepy, it's just what happens when something is forgotten.

Silence

I really need to stop looking at these pictures while listening to music of the creepy/sad/sober sort. The song of Tristram (Blizzard/Diablo/Town) seems to click quite well with the visuals.

Seclusion View

The photographs that draw a person into another world, that are capable of filling the viewer with feeling(s)/inspiration and otherwise, those are the best photographs to exist.

This is one of those.

Colored Curves

ParadoxEngine

This photograph is fantastic. The angle, the colours, the contrast between rot and beauty and the light create such a beautiful piece.

Motts, I'm not sure that you will ever read this but you create some of the most inspiring art that I have ever seen.

Stagnant Playthings

Such a powerful presentation of youthful innocence and play mixed with age and decay. Wonderful picture.

I love this picture for some odd reason, perhaps it's because it is unsettling ...but then again I'm looking at these and listening to the Wraithmarsh music from Fable II on repeat which, by the way, is a great song for abandoned and dead places.

Patient Belongings

Mrph. I'd love to go there and spend a good hour just rummaging. Not taking anything, of course, but just to immerse myself in those memories before leaving.
