Great album! I thank you so much for so many a long hours of enjoyment!
I see I was wrong.
I must go take another look at the robot heads chewing gum and blowing bubbles (LOL)
Once again you have managed to evoke thought and emotion with the magic in your camera.
You have an incredible eye.
Thank you for breathing life back into something old and thought dead.
Many of these places were people's dreams, creations, nightmares, workplaces, etc. etc. etc.
Motts, I wonder something. When I used to "explore" old buildings, there was this feeling almost like I could feel the remaining presence of the people who once worked (or lived, or whatever as appropriate) in those places, and sometimes, I would almost see them still in operation. Do you feel the same things?
Power plants and substations are always fascinating. I've always wanted to do a series on Power Substations. Such a feeling of Energy !
Someday . . . maybe
Thanks !!!
Always a treat to visit here and see more great stuff...and to think I stumbled upon this place while searching for a vintage ad for Thorazine!
I have 7 or 8 old vintage ads for Thorazine if you still need any. Plus several hundred other hysterical ones, like, "Benzedrine - for men in combat - when the going gets tough." :-)
Another fantastic ad shows a group of fighter jets and has this text:
"Benzedrine inhaler is available to high altitude flying personnel! Benzedrine inhaler is now an official item of issue in the Army Air Forces. It is available to Flight Surgeons for distribution to high altitude flying personnel, for relief of nasal congestion. Benzedrine inhaler is a volatile nasocontrictor . . . outstandingly convenient, but first and foremost, a highly effective therapeutic agent."
Reading that makes me think of another wildly misunderstood medication. Lithium.
We know it works, and we know it works well in children with Bi Polar disorder, but there are so many horror stories that go right along with it, that there are flying misconceptions about it.
I loved that tour!!!
I had an opportunity to save 1920's 40 horse power electric motors from a filtration plant that were in working order along with the pumps and compressors they drove.
Art deco design, open frame. These were not common motors in that they used slip rings to deliver 3 phase power to coils in the rotor, the rotor had another set of coils connected to a commutator, the brushes on that commutator connected to the field coils, works like an auto synchronous motor from the 1920's era. I lost that opportunity. I still have the photos of them, all brass polished and working before the scrap merchants got them ): The local museum had the opportunity to pick them up. I'll never forgive them!
They were rear by design, type, age and that fact they were in use right up till 5 years ago.
The station modernized with boring functional soulless motors in a art deco building. There was a few tons of brass, copper and history that went out that day.
