Looking down the wedge shaped stairwell, one of the few places where natural light passed through.

Whoa!

Neat building!
Now THAT is one HELL of a SHOT!! Very well done!
I love those dizzying heights!
Awesome!
OMG! I'm dizzy!
NICE!
I LOVE THIS SHOT MOTTS.
Excellent shot!
Very interesting shot, the lighting and textures of the debris make it a real beauty... and the perspective doesn't hurt either! Good work!
Woww what a view
Nice and dizzying.
That seems like a lot of debris for a building that looks to be relatively well protected from the elements. Were there a lot of openings or is this mostly the result of extreme temp?
The building materials used seemed pretty cheap and shoddy to me but I am no expert. When a building is boarded tight, sometimes more damage is done by not letting it "breathe" freely as moisture, mold, and heat are not vented.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, this one caught me by surprise!

Excellent shot!
This soooo reminds me of Vertigo...The Alfred Hitchcock movie with Jimmy Stewart!
Dude... WALLPAPER!!!!
this shot is amazing.

i love it.
i could just imagine looking through it myself.
(:
Wow. Incredibly beautiful and interesting.
don't you want to drop something over to see how long it takes to hit, there are no suicide screens.
Suicide Screens?
Wow... normal stairs are bad enough! Nice shot.
Suicide Screens? anyone, just wonderin
What are you asking Alice? Are you asking what they are? If so "suicide screens" as they have been called were mesh panels installed on the sides of staircases to prevent patients (not just suicidal but all patients) from jumping over the edge and falling to their death or getting a serious injury. They are not too common in modern hospitals because of the use of elevators and better stair design. Here is a photo Motts took to give you a better idea:

Finally!
at least someone shows some
mercy to the new guy. thank you
Down seems so much scarier when it is represented by "weird" shapes.
I would love a wallpaper of this, it's absolutely amazing.

It's the first photo I've seen that has made me jump back in my chair.
Wow, awesome geometrics. Very well composed!
Whoa, this is cool. This is a wonderful picture.
Your stairwell shots are award winning....
