Ed, so you are saying we should un-muzzle the girl and un-leash her as well? Is the world ready for this? Or is she perhaps ENJOYING being in the muzzle and leash? ;-)

If the world is ready for "two Eds" (see the boat graveyard pics) the world can handle an un-muzzeled ~me!!!

You've done it - you've caught the soul of this institution. Right through your photo, leaps inchoate darkness. It's heartstopping!

Not evil, but profoundly untamed, this is... atavistic? Like a flash of the darkness that surrounds human intelligence, just beyond our reach. You think?

This one goes beyond your usual WOW factor! Thanks for sharing.

Don't know about the soap dispenser business, the picture is fantabulous, though. Good eye Motts!

Again, it's the penis thing. It's facinating but disturbing. These old fortresses had a real preoccupation with masculine architecture.

If you ever come across a lamp with paws, like from the old days, tell me! I love them! I wanted to steal one while in Newport RI, but it's kinda twice my size and there were a lot of people there. Haha.

I don't believe you'll be wanting to steal this one...it's got a rather official looking 15 MPH sign attached to it. :)

Dark & lifeless. Night envelops this place into an inky blackness. The ornate streetlight hints at a time long past. Beautiful photography.
