The Drain

All roads lead to...

Ooo..I love the blue rim...

I love the shallow depth of field and the fact that the center line isn't perfectly vertical. This is surprisingly an emotionally evocative piece. But, I suppose it would be in a mortuary.

This one makes my skin crawl.

"it doesn't matter what path you take in life for we all die in the end" don't remember where i heard that, this photo just reminded me of it

Bleh... I don't want to think of what might still be lurking in those pipes...

Ehk, Mel. You're right. There are probably several nice surprises in them.

oooo that smell, can you smell that smell. ooooo that smell, the smell of death around you

To think of how much blood's been down that drain...

To think, just whose fluids have ran down that drain... they all had stories.

Notice the knocked over blood vials (glass)? I wonder how and why they ended up there and why they were just...left there. I always am lost in thought when I look at photos from deserted hospitals; it never ceases to preplex me how stuff is ACTUALLY left behind...not just furniture ,which I would think would be auctioned or donated, but items one would one think would be disposed of such as blood vials, patient belongings that were left behind and such. I also find it confusing why imparative documents such as patient's records and personal information is just often left behind and deserted. That sort of paperworkd is highly protected in all healthcare facilities. I would assume it would follow the patient or go to whatever facility the patient was transfered to. Apparently records are not has vital, confidential and important as we all thought. I often see them for bid on Ebay.

Reminds me of those old steak or beef platters! Yuck!!!

the base and chemical make up of blood, that when it is in contact with copper, it will turn the copper blue over time, through corrosion.

flushing your life down the drain.

Thanks Lynne, I knew they reminded me of something I'd seen before.........

Gurgle Gurgle!

this really turns my imagination on.

This makes me sad for all the dead. Just how many bodily fluids ended up down that drain....all the moisture of a human washed away like common water.
