Arcade Arches

It’s not hard to see how Germany could turn these into a prison overnight.

Left: a ladder and hatch to the roof of the Temple Opera Building. Right: a false wall hides the staircase that runs right into the roof, which used to be third floor of the building. Note how the bannister is simply cut off.

This is one of my favorite doorways (yes, I have favorites) for a few reasons: 1.) You can see how the once-arched door has been squared-off for rectangular doors to fit; 2.) you can see one complete historic door and one ruined door, and the chain that used to hold them together before someone kicked-out the security, and; 3.) I like the texture of the bricks and design of the radiators in the room beyond–the blacksmith shop. Just do.

The first step of the filtering process is being spun through this tube.

The railing were jealous of both the bricks and bits, and chose instead to dissolve like this.

Facade of tarps and fences on the old house. It used to have a bronze ornament on the second floor patio, but it was taken for scrap years ago.

At the bottom of the stairs to the caves is this collection of brick arches. I wonder what this area looks like now that a new tenant has taken over this building.

Call me angsty, but I like it. Found in the Auxiliary Hospital.

Wide stairs between the ground, the mine shaft, and the dry house.
