Gives new fright to "The doctor is ready to see you."

I remember those old belt driven drills. My grandfather had a portable one that he brought home when he retired. It came handy on many projects.

I love center hinged doors but am surprised to see one in a medical facility as one person enters and the poor guy/gal on the other side can get bammed if they don't move quick enough.

Really enjoyed the half of a half. Thanks for the gallery Motts.

Nice choice for wallpaper. Thanks!

I found it interesting there was so much graffiti here, as most of your German locations were empty of vandalism.

Reminds me of something I'd see at the old Winchester Mystery House...It keeps building without rhyme or reason

I want this mural for my living room!

Some of the funniest comments I've read in a long time.

Fascinating gallery Motts. Not at all what I expected when I clicked to view, but as always, loved it just the same!

You always find the best angles. I love this photo Motts.

Great gallery. I just came back from a trip to an amusement park and had waited to view these photos so I could do a comparison. Again, wonderful pictures!

At our local cemetery there are many trees, and some of the most expensive plots are the ones underneath (the most expensive are the ones looking over the ocean).

Although the majority of graves are marked by a flat slab, to prevent them from falling over the cliff onto the beach during storms (which has happened) I can only imagine that one day the coffins will end up being pushed up by the trees and their roots.

As a side note, yes the coffins have fallen over the side onto the beach. My earth sciences teacher told stories of going there and studying the coffins and large grave markers when the storms would hit.

I live where the local cemeteries do not allow grave markers that are not flush against the ground. This has been standard for thirty years or so, although the cemetery is quite old. The reason given is that the cemetery is located with an ocean view, and when severe storms come, parts of bodies, coffins and so on have been found on the beach. The gravestones that are not flush are the first things to go.

I'm going to miss this place. Great pics as always.

These last two pictures remind me of the movie DreamScape. I am waiting to see a photo of Christopher Plummer walking down these halls.

I love this photo, Motts. Since it hasn't been vandalized, we can see the damage nature and age have done to the building. You captured it beautifully with the contrast of the stairs, wall with peeling paint and the windows.

Grace, I was thinking the same thing. This does have some of the old Motts look in it.

The vaporex is indeed a dehumidifier for indoor pools.

Judging by some of the models on sale this vaporex 33 also appears to be fairly new, just like the Dipper

<<A panic button may also refer to a button used in convenience stores, gas station, or other establishments staffed with a single employee during late hours.>>

or the one I am more familiar with (growing up with family that worked in defense

<<A button in a critical system (such as a nuclear weapons system) used to quickly activate an extreme measure to mitigate an emergency situation.>>

What a contrast to the picture right before of the peeling paint. Suddenly I'm back in the 'real world'.

Some of the great art here is how you have chosen to display the photos here, Motts.

I just love the way the white portion of the ceiling meets the corners and wall of the room. You caught that well in your photograph. Was that ironwork Motts?

Another gallery you post during dead week. My final exams really hate you Motts... but I still love you ;)

At first I thought it was to discourage the unwanted people from using it, but then you would NOT have the deadbolt because it is easy for them to break trying to get in to use it.

When I volunteered at the local low level psych places the LPN's would need to lock the bathrooms until the staff knew someone would actually be in there (sucidal prevention) and they were always type of lock where you could just see from the position if it was 'locked' or 'unlocked'

Seeing this picture almost makes it seem that all your trouble to find a 'good' spot to visit was worthwhile.
