Very eye-appealing.

A portal to a nother world.....

Reminds me of Silent Hill : The Room.
Wonder if this one leads to The Subway?
Ohh! Blackguard, I see the face too... It's like the tunnel wants to swallow you whole... >.>
Hey Mr. Motts how come you did not go into any of the mines did they look unsafe i know there would not be much to see but i bet you of all people could get a couple of good shots!
I went inside 60 feet or so; it was pitch black and not very interesting to me, so I decided to use the time I had here to photograph the rest of the facility.
thanks for the info Mr Motts thats cool hey i love your site my sister is a big fan as well she was the one who showed me your site its fantastic. im also on your myspace hey keep up the great work. also i dont know if you knew dut the kirkbride in danvers and it north adams are all gone now there is one still in taunton but the admin building was burned down. Its so sad to see all these great building torn down and destroyed buy a bunch of a-holes its kinda sad t othink that people spent thier wholes lives in thoes places and now there is nothing left but a parking lot.
Let's go and find IT. Even if it's not a sewer pipe.

Kadee, you creep me out... :)

Gosh, I so need to read that book again... Go go Stephen King
"THIS IS BATTERY ACID!"

I used my inhaler as mace one time, my mom thought it was very inventive!
*B-B-B-B-BILLY BOY!!!*
Always ominous.
Makes me think of,among others ,this storm drain outlet in Juniata Park(Phila.)
I remember as a child the outrage of fear when I was there with my father and teenage girls and boys were hanging-out there and some of the boys (girls ,too)were going in there with penknives to kill rats.
Pretty quiet there now,overlooking Frankford Creek,the wall above the hole with it's little castle-like stone peaks. Nice place to get high. Every once in a while the hole will hiss and belch out some kind of vapor.
Only thing happened there lately is a few years ago some boys were playing there after a heavy summer rain when the creek was raging and one of the boys fell in and immediately was sucked under the concrete slab that forms part of the sluice that cants away from the hole.
For some unknown reason the kids ran and biked alll the way to North Philly for help,several miles away.Oh well.
Only other thing is they found a body there a few years ago..
That is awesome. This whole location must have been wild to explore. Nice work.
too creepy for me
Don't go too far down, Harry Warden may come and get you!
