SWP4- Shadow of The Annex (Arista 100)

I liked the color of her hair against the rusty rock house and blue winter sky.

The Harrison flour mill, completed in 1897 and expanded in 1901 and 1902. The tunnel that I am standing on probably transported grain from the elevator to the mill. Medium Format.

Zachary Taylor’s very own Scottish castle, spring-side in the Kentucky backcountry. Boarded and waiting, but in surprisingly good condition, considering the decades. I especially love the tower on the right side of the frame.

Imagine with yellow window guards are eyebrows and the open windows are the eyes. This headframe seems a bit curious.

Worm in the path of raw ore where it would be dumped from rock cars into the silo below.

The floor of this first floor bathroom, Men’s Ward, was unlike any other I remember in the hospital. Hand-laid tile, but the pattern made it seem even older than the rest of the hospital. Portra 160.

Sawdust is the most classic of insulation materials.

The main gate, as seen in 2005. It hasn’t changed much since then.

Connecting the Administration building’s tower and top floors is this beautiful cast iron staircase. It was probably designed to help service the clock originally planned to be set in the tower, but when the hospital went over budget the state cancelled the timepiece. Now we are left with a gorgeous stair with little or no real purpose–not that I’m complaining. I am a long-admitted spiral staircase fetishist.
