I love this one. the cracking paint in the background is amazing.
my thoughts exactly! i love the way the paint is peeling
If the wall don't get any oxygen soon it is going to crumble apart!
This is my favorite so far! Tastes like vanilla!
Motts - are you sure that's not a soap dispenser? Sorry, I couldn't help myself! Thanks so much for the wonderful site - I absolutley LOVE it!
Great shot Motts.
What is that a valve of some sort? I can't figure it out. This place has gone to shit for sure.
The best I can guess is that it was used to hook a patient up to pure oxygen. Maybe Lynn would know better....

Love the pics!!! Yay!!! A new gallery to enjoy..
SOAP DESPENSER FOR SURE!!!!
I think Nevermore is right, Christina - prolly a soap dispenser. ;-)
looks like a bathtub plug in a giant hand to me ... that was my first thought anyway
O2 for oxygen sounds right for TB sufferers, does anyone here with medical training know better?
VERY NICE!!!
My professional opinion...I must agree with my distiquished collegues...Soap Dispenser!
Very nice play of foreground and background... and it looks uber cool, too!
when i was a child in the 70's any plumbing represented to me forces barely held in check. radiators i took for granted but now i miss in this era of central heating/a.c.
There is still "hope in life," no need to go down the plug hole.
Great photo.
It's a Oxygen gas outlet.
Once again.........you find art amongst the ruins!
O2 is the molecular formula for oxygen...and yes this is a valve for it
At a quick glance, the chipping paint looks like a hand & it's holding that thing in it's palm....
Sorry tom couldn't look at the rest i'm at school got caught pretty cool though
