Wow. I am usually not big on shots with large areas with no detail in them but this is beatiful. Gives a great sense of exploring...I just want to walk into the darkness! The lighting on the brighter parts is awesome as well.

Great contrasts here, Motts! This looks like the gaping black maw of some diabolical abyss... it's so creepy! And yet at the same time, diametrically fascinating... I want to run in there and check it out... but at the same time I want to run away screaming... so confused...

Was there a fire in this part of the building? The upper walls and ceiling leading into the gaping maw look kind of sooty. Even the lines left by condensation on the walls look sooty.

I expect someone to come running through the darkness. Whether it be the blonde bimbo in a slip and high heels from a bad slasher movie or Michael Myers or Freddie Kruger. AWESOME SHOT!!!!

The sharp contrast between the light and darkness as it is used to represent in this hallway is a decision, plain and simple. As we are programed as human beings and pulled by our spirits, which direction do we go? Darkess represents the fear and foolishtempation that gives us the cold emptiness of the abyss where there is no joy and everlasting void in which the foolish only tred. Where the light opens up the clairty, the true view to your surroundings, safety and absolute warmth and truth to where no wrong can happen here. And most upon all is, happiness to just be in the light.

I do think this is beautiful. However, THIS is why I could NEVER do what you do (as much as I admire you for doing it). That is WAY too creepy for me! Mr. Motts, I guess I'll just have to keep looking at your fabulous photography! :)
