This photo was really highly praised on Flickr … and truthfully, it is a beautiful shot. I don’t know how it makes you feel – but it makes me a little uneasy, like I am staring at a madman’s cell, or something! It could easily be a setting in an arthouse horror movie. The door is gorgeous, and the marble-looking tiles on the floor are decadent, but the white, white walls, the floor which is clean enough to eat off every inch, and the hundreds of bolts in the door give it away. It feels like the bench to the left might be the insane person’s bed, where they would spend night after uncomfortable, cramped night … but at least it tells a story, which is much better than just leaving everyone pretty much unmoved.

Beautiful, in one of those horrifying sorts of ways!
