Most excellent! Is this the site of the infamous "Eat me" graffiti?
Yep It's peeking out of the right side...
I remember that pic! Nice to have a different perspective here...Such a cool window for a bathroom, though. I'd like that window for my house...
I remembered the "eat me" right away too Lynne. I love this window, I would have loved to see it before it was boarded up. Motts can you remember if there was any coloured glass in the design or not?
How did everybody hear about this graffiti? I checked the other section and didn't see anything...

Just wait till Sketchy gets here...lol

Epiphany's lovely 5th pic down.
What a wierd room! Good shot.
No I don't think there was any stained glass here; they are a rare sight in institutions built after the 19th century.
It kinda reminds me of a TOOL video, im just waiting for those claymation freaky doods to walk out of the walls or the sink or somethin. Amazing shot
ooo, intruiging window.
LoudLove i like the way you think and also a reminder: 16 more days until the new Tool Album!
I wonder if anyone mistook that window for an autoclave. (or perhaps a soap dispenser......)
Looks like someone is shining a light down from the ceiling....eeeerrrriiiieeeee
COOL shot the window is really odd..i love it
i just want to climb in that window/valt/i dont know what the fuck that is/thingy
Makes me gringe this picture..dunno why!!
Though I will probably be hated for this, I feel that this shot gives the urge to throw a stone through that window - the only connection to the outside world. I must say, this shot gives me an onset of claustrophobia...
I have windows like that in my house. We live on an island and the house has a very nautical theme. If anyone's interested in the architecture, I can post pix on the forum.
I love the window, and especially how far down on the wall it is.
anybody ever played silent hill 4 'the room?' thats it right there. what a dark depressing place......
The only good thing about this room is the tile color, it has a calming sense to it at least.
what does "PVD" stand for?
The very first thing to pop onto my head is how intimidating this room looks. I would start looking for another washroom.

the sinks remind me of the ones in high school, way way back.
there should be full lenght mirrors with teen age boys combing greasy hair, we used brylcreem till the beatles caused us to wash it out.
I think the same thing Joseph
stephen21, Thank you for replying.

When I look at the photographs on this website I write down the first thing that comes into my head because that is the most honest thing. And sometimes these photos will remind me of places and countries that I have been to or experiences that I have had while I been traveling throughout the world.

I LOVE this web site! I have looked at other websites that are somewhat similar to Motts website. And I can say for sure that those websites can't hold a candle to Motts website.

In fact, all those websites SUCK !!!

There are alot of old buildings here in East Germany. Mott should go to East Germany. (Of course bring a couple of people who speak, read and write perfect German and know there way around.) I have driven thru a little bit of East Germany. There are still alot of old buildings there. The young East Germans have thrown rocks thru the windows of these old buildings. And there is alot of graffiti on these buildings. There are portions of East German towns and small East German cities that look like ghost streets because the young East German people have left for West Germany to look for jobs. Alot of the young East German men have a hard time finding work because they do not have as good an education as the West German men. The education system under the old communist regime within the USSR did not prepare the young East German men for a good career. This is very evident because I have seen many young East German men at the Western German (haupbahnhof) train stations asking for money for food. Of course they spend the money on beer and wine. And to see a German man walking down the street with a bottle of beer or a bottle of wine in his hand and drunk as hell is absolutely no big deal here. The East German women are doing better at getting jobs than the East German men because they are better educated. They must of tried harder in school. I have taken only a few photographs because I have not had that much of a chance to travel around East Germany. And the weather is getting worse so I will have to wait until Spring to travel again. Trying to travel around Europe in the Winter is not easy.

Thank you again.

Thanks Joseph... I have traveled to East and West Germany this summer and plan to visit again once I have funds. I have many photos of really great places waiting to get put online from there, as well as other nearby countries.
I don't really think this room looks especially intimidating.
The tile is nicely coloured, the lighting isn't bad. The high ceiling also makes a nice feeling.
I don't like this room not one bit
Ahh, yet another good place to get rid of my "cheeked" meds.
What are those pipe-looking things near the bottom of the left-hand wall? Were there sinks or toilets on the opposite side in the past? Or maybe radiators? (but wouldn't radiators be on the wall or ceiling in a room with water?) And is that an electrical outlet under the sink on the right? Seems like safety must have been first on the mind of whoever installed that. Perhaps this room used to have another purpose and the outlet was disconnected when the sink was installed. As I think about it, I don't recall ever having been in a bathroom where the electrical outlets weren't above the fixtures.
