You know, they say that over exposure to red light and/or to environments with a lot of red in them (like the secretary of state's offices used to have in Michigan) can induce certain sensistive individuals to exhibit certain subpsychological symptoms of various psychoses.

See! I'm tellin' ya! Now poor Patty is in danger of developing a severe, traumatic, red induced psychosis. Quick, Patty - slow, deep breath, think about blue... you can still save yourself!

That is so eye appealing. The red just draws my eyes to it, how unusual. I have never seen red lights frames before. Uusually they are white.

Quite stylish really.

REDRUM REDRUM!!!!

red filters are used to allow one to see better in a darkened area. maybe that's why these are there.

Florida Jen, I could be wrong but I think maybe you're seeing a knee-wall with mold on it; notice the black rubber base.

The red is kinda creepy.

the first thing I thought was the scene from "Wizard of Oz"-xcept it follow the red lights-and when the Scarecrow tripped-that was the light hanging down.

I guess I have too much time on my hands!!!

The long typical white corridor with a bit of a psychodelic effect. Red lights always blew my away.

Different

Did you know that in the photo darkrooms of days (past?) the only light allowed for film developement was a red light bulb?
And in that case anything red that you were wearing or carried in would disappear.
Next there was an inner darkroom inside the darkroom with no light.
