Halls

Halls

Inside was a duo-tone hallway, with decent sized rooms off to one side.

That blue is much more tasteful than the pink seen in American asylums.

Well I may be a natural American, but this is more like I've pictured upscale asylums. Maybe that's from seeing lots of movies though.

Very nice hall- and a shiny-looking floor except for the two dingy spots.

Wow...it looks like an elementary school!!! I love the blue. It is sooo much better than Pepto Pink or Gross Green or that horrid Yucky Yellow. :P

It seems as though someone is caring for this building and the others too.

I would like to know what languages you speak/read too Mr. Motts.

Motts - Is that ceiling flat or is there a barrel arch to it? I can't tell if there is an arch or if the shadows are tricking my eye. Great shot.

There is a barrel arch in the foremost space, then it turns flat in the rear hallway - an interesting transition.

I don't speak anything fluently other than English. I can eek my way through a bit of German and Spanish, but very barely. I hope to set aside some time to broaden my lingual capabilities.

:) Wow. I love it when you give a little bit about yourself Mr. Motts. It adds to your appeal as a person, and to your mystique as a photographer!

I can speak/read English fluently (uh...DUH lol)...and I can SORT of speak a little bit of Spanish (not very much, but I can say a few phrases and words but not much more than that), I know some German (thanks to my 12 year old daughter), I know a couple words in Polish (thanks to my Grandma who is Polish), I can count to 10 in Japanese and say please and thank you, and I can say hello and goodbye in Italian and French. Nothing more than just a few words here and there in most of these...

There is a very peaceful look to this hallway. I like the white floor with black borders. The blue and white walls go well with it

Motts. Rosetta Stone is worth a shot if you want to learn more. Expensive, yes, but worth the money.
