Great door, or in this case, no door...looks like it leads to nowhere.

Super shot, Joe! Great in the lightbox and excellent entry. Reminds me of a scene from Ghosthunters. LOL
Patty Gross (Deleted) gave props (21 Jan 2010):
This is a very intimidating scene! Yet one cannot help by be attracted to it. Sort of like a massive car wreck on the freeway or a huge fire. I sense danger, torture, and extreme pain going on behind that "door." It reminds me of some violent crime scenes which involved perverted men and women. YIKES!!!!!!! Now I'm scaring myself and it's time to go to bed. GREAT PHOTO, Joe!! You are just so very, very creative!!
