Romantic?

Romantic?

This door in the far corner of the basement had a little heart shaped cutout, I found it to be pretty interesting... the red light is me walking past the open shutter because I was too lazy to use the timer function.

Well, yes, now that you mention it I DID feel fairly romantic when I first saw this picture. :-)

Glad you mentioned the red light or there would be orb-hunters here. ;-)

So, Motts, do you drag your girlfriend-wannabes along when you photograph these places to see how they handle it? It's absolutely none of my business, so naturally I just had to ask. :-)

Oh, I could. A place like that would really impress me for a first date. Not the same old boring thing everyone else does anyway.

hmm, they kinda do remind me of orbs though. It reminds me of two spirit lovers fleeing after the shot was taken like they were caught. (notice the other one going in the opposite direction?)

A cute little heart. Maybe the workers came down here to make love.

Motts~ Have you ever encountered doors in other abandoned places that had a little heart like this in it's door?

No, they are quite unusual, especially in old asylums...

I love this door. It seems -- well, actually it is -- so out of place, and totally random. It makes you wonder why that heart is there in the first place, who put it there, etc. But it's really pretty, in a creepy sort of way.

What a touch the pink line mikes to the shot though! A literal underline... quite an emotional little oasis in this place...
