Plank

Plank

This plank of wood was oddly resting on the window pane, it looked like it was balanced on end from a few angles.

I love this archway. This must have been a beautiful room back in the day.

I would love to have a time machine and visit some of these places while they were still a beehive of activity.

Love this shot. It's got a strange sort of distortion to it. Wide angle lense?

What a beautiful arch, and room to go with it. I can only imagine how beautiful it was back in the day.
I look at this picture and get a free feeling, it's kinda calming.

Wow, this is a beautiful room! It looks large too, or is that deceiving?

Great shot Mr Motts. You're right, from a distance the plank does look like it's free-standing on end on its own. Kinda defies gravity...... do you know offhand what this building is going to be after being renovated?

It's a decent sized room... I don't know what the building will be used as after renovation, it will still be on the psych center property.

It really was, potted plants, rocking chairs, and maybe a grand piano... it's tough to imagine with the place as it is now.

The archway frames the image wonderfully. The way the plank is ballanced is oddly peaceful. Great image.

The archway presenting the outside world would be worthy of an eighteenth century drawing room. Very ethetic.

that floor looks weird. like all bumpy or like there were rocks scattered onto it.

Johnnsy, I'm guessing (I may be wrong) that the floor is actually covered with the ceiling and walls... It looks like the ceiling has fallen down and rotted onto the floor, combined with some of the chunks of wall...

Great capture of an amazing archway and one lonely plank's effort to find balance among the decay!

Great shot.With the arch framing the photo, it almost looks like you used forced perspective
This would make a great wallpaper.

i agree must have been beautiful back then, i think it cool how the board seems to have stoped in mid fall judging by the end on the floor
