Maybe not in black, but I'd certainly hire the person who did this to do something on my living room wall :-).

Agree with both of the last two posts. Eerie looking.

.....and those...

There is no way I could NOT go up those stairs......:-)

...sorry, "missiles"...

"Intercontinental ballistic missles". What an ominous phrase (still, even in this age).

This one grabs you and makes you look for a while (of course, so many of your shots do, Motts :-)). Maybe it's my Fine-Arts-Degree-Brain talking on this one, but this picture has so much going on (obviously), behind the actual subject matter. Speaking as a person who's enjoyed this site for over two years now, this particular image may be my new favorite of all. Metaphorical, literal, thought-provoking, and just plainly a great shot. This is one of the shiniest gems in the treasure trove of great images in your galleries. If you ever DO do a coffee table book, this one, in my humble opinion, would be a great cover to sum up the "character" of so many of the stories behind the locations photographed for this site. Sorry for the length. Thanks for allowing me the space to express this. Excellent shot.

Thank you for yet another gallery of places to vicariously "visit" :-). Always enjoy these.

How, uhhh......festive?

I don't think there would be a way I could NOT look in all of those, too. Anyone remember Pandora's box? :-)

Geez.. Very few of the places you go would creep me out, but this particular room, lit this way, does. I'd be expecting one of those creatures that can only be seen in your peripheral vision, and disappears the split-second you try to look right at it. I would NOT be alone in this room.

Love the colors. These are some of my favorite shots. OK, I know other people say this all the time, but this reminds me so much of a dream I often have of a stairway that goes down and down and down, and never stops..... Stephen King wrote a story (I think it was him), about a parking garage that went down, down,down, and kept geting older and more squeezed in....anyone know the name of it?

Hmmmm. That's strange, unless it was structural, but then, why wouldn't it be finished like the other walls, and also, it's in a strange spot to be structural. Things that make you go "Hmmmmm"

Beauty in simplicity :-).

LOVE this!!! Great perspective and framing. For those who don't "see" it, I think Motts is standing on a landing or steps between two flights in a stairwell, shooting at the level just above, and the part that looks like duct work on the right is the underside of the next flight. Sorry if I'm wrong, Motts ;-o. Not presuming just a guess.

Hmmm. Ummm, just NO. Being "relaxed" about certain issues is one thing. Then comes the line that is not to be crossed. Clothing-optional beach? Fine. Even a rare communal shower at the gym (which thankfully, as far as I know, no longer exists), is still (albeit reluctantly) OK. "Individual-stall-optional" bathroom, however? NOT fine! :-0.

Almost looks like this was flooded, with a "waterline" on the walls. I like the shading around the corners. Makes it seem like looking through a peephole into a corridor.

Loose an arm, much?

Disturbing......reminds me too much of evil clowns.......(shudder).....or a crazed Ronald McDonald (but then again, he's scary enough.......)

I do NOT want to slide down THAT!!!! :-0

winger: I agree. Really like this one, Motts. The smears of pink aren't what you would expect in a place like this, either. Nice how the chain gets blurry as it leaves the frame. Just like the whole thing overall.

Now THAT's a piece of "equipment" ... ;-)

Looks like a huge, upside-down dead spider...

OK, now THERE'S the mangle.....

It looks like there's a tiny little dark stick figure in the middle doing the "herding", like with a group of circus elephants. Anyone else see the little "person" (just to the left of the can that's by itself the right of the others, in the middle of the frame)?.
