Hey Mista' Motts! Uh oh, there goes my Boston accent again! : ) Don't you just love this "analog" version of a movie camera?! Besides still photography, do you also film videos? And by the way, how did you get that nickname "Motts"?

At first glance, it almost looks like a coocoo clock!

Ah, yet another old piano left to rot...

Has anybody been to "Spider Gate" Cemetary in Worcester, MA? It's an old cemetary with very old stones and legends. I went to it with some friends at night a long time ago-it was a lot of fun! I also took my dog with me during the daytime for a few extra visits as well. : )

And one more thing, where's the "Soap Dispensahhh!" Sorry, Tom, but I couldn't resist! I'm just in a silly mood tonight! I guess I have "summer feveahhh!" ; )

Hey Mr. Motts, don't forget to "pahhk the cahhh, and then pick up some pizzer!" Yes, I do have a thick Boston accent: We put A's where there are R's, and R's where there are A's! Too funny! ; )

@Jason Stackhouse-I fully agree, this IS vertigo! Has any one seen the old movie called, "Vertigo"? It was truly a classic! My friend Veena and I saw it, and then later on we went up a staircase similar to this, and it felt like "vertigo"! : )

Ya know, Mr. Motts, although ALL your pictures are well done, this has got to be one of my favorites-it reminds me of the beautiful woods that I used to go walking through as a kid. Every time I look at it, I feel at peace...I love the way the sunlight filters gently through the trees and the soft contrast of shade and light. This green house looks so enchanting, like a fantasy: I can picture myself dancing in the middle, in a white summer dress, twirling around and around... your pictures truly speak volumes and evoke certain emotions-the sign of a true artist! : )

@Boiler 1220-Do you know what the city is going to do with the land once the Gaebler is gone?

@Boiler 1220-Wow, it's amazing that they are finally taking it down. You're right, the asbestos is a real problem. It's too bad that the building couldn't be rehabed into a new and more therapeutic facility for children with competent staff, including caring music and art therapists. It's a shame that you and your friends had to deal with such incompetent staff. It should have been a place of healing and building up the spirit of the person, not the tearing down. I pray for all of you that God touches His healing hand upon you always.

@Boiler 1220-It must have been fun to play that piano and reminisce the good times of being together. I love that tiger that is painted in the background-I can't get it out of my mind. It probably reminds me of when I was in Kindergarten, and I used to love to draw tigers. I drew them all the time in class and drew them well-it gave me confidence since I was a very shy child. The teacher got mad at me since I only drew tigers, but what she didn't realized is that it was a confidence booster for me in a new classroom setting. I have always loved to draw. Today, I love to draw portraits, since I find the human face so fascinating! : )

@Boiler 1220-I'm glad to hear that some people are doing OK today after being there. It's interesting that all of you were like a family and bonded together through shared experiences. Just shows how strong the human spirit is, and how we can overcome the most distressing times.

Hey Mr. Motts-was the old rink still there when you explored the Pines?

@ Sharon Day-Thanks for the mention of the Pines site! This hotel must have been a great place in its day. I especially like the shot of the skating rink on the site-it's amazing how some of these old resorts had rinks in them. I would have gone there-I was a figure skater in high school-it was a lot of fun! : )

Colorful, yet scary and sad...

: (

@Vampyr-Great video! Love the arched windows; nice touch with the abandoned teddy bear at the end-Thanks for sharing! : )

@opal-you're right! Nobody should put baby in the corner...babies are meant for warmth, love, and lots of cuddling! Can you tell that I love babies?! : )

Lone wheelchairs evoke such saddness of a life of years gone by...

How omminous!

@Draven Mercer-Love the Star Wars reference! ; )

Such a shame that they let these old pianos sit and rot. They should have been removed immediately when the building closed. We had a lot of these old pianos (in good shape but some were terribly out of tune! ) in the Music Dept. at my college. They did have 2 beautiful black grand pianos as well!

It does look like something from Star Wars! The first three original films with Harrison Ford were the best! : )

I love this mural-I wish I could see it in person. I wish I could play that piano too! : ) Thanks Mr. Motts for taking this picture before all the graffiti and trash came.

@Boiler 1220-That's really great that you were able to take a lot of pics! Do you know what the city is going to do with the building?
