Cliffside Adit

The gulls wait to eat the next load of spilled grain. Arista 100.

A back-lit tree with the silhouette of a roof spire in the background.

Cobble streets wrap around the inside of the fort.

Now, to add a human scale.

The glow from the city is bright enough to read by.

Looking across the spired rooftop of the Kirkbride building. In the foreground is a fire chute that contains a metal spiral slide designed to evacuate patients in case of a fire. Note the ironwork on the chimney.

At night the city lights blast through the broken windows, casting crazy colors through the off-white interior of the mill.

In this photo you see three lives of Lyric: 1.) The Art Deco murals showing the Vaudeville background; 2.) The suspended ceiling put in when the building was converted for film; 3.) The explorers, photographers and others who worked in and on the building before its final demolition.

Some warnings on the older battery which was visibly older than its eastern counterpart. This set of batteries had no railing between the side of the ovens and a long drop onto railroad tracks… I like this picture because it shows the effects of the heat and corrosive gasses on the area around the ovens.
