One image from me...sorry I've been scarce lately, pretty pooped after work, the last couple of weeks have been a bit busy there. Managed to snap a picture of our ambulance bay the other day. It only holds two ambulances. What this picture doesn't show is the other ambulance parked nearby with its back doors open...The image also doesn't show the 10 more that had come earlier in the shift, or the ones that came afterwards! Digital photo greyscaled with the contrast upped a bit. My advice to all...please stay well! ;-)>

Wow, kind of a mysterious photo.....nice stuff. Did you make anymore ? First thing I was thinking was "Didn't you close that door ? No, I thought you closed the door! Oh no, I think we lost our patient somewhere along the route!!"

LOL Rork... :-) Aw, Cam. That's alright. Hope you're doing okay, though. (I'm pooped from work too, having an average of 1.5 hours of sleep a day. :-P) Yup, the b/w certainly enhances that "mysterious" mood. Kind of creepy, but only a little bit. (*

I like the way the blinds add some ambiguity. Are they bars? Is it a hospital? Prison? Laboratory? For my taste, you could increase the contrast even more. -daveh

My advice to all...please stay well! I won't argue with that one Cam....I do not want to know what the inside of one of those things looks like!! Very nice image....!

I am, therefore I create.......

Thanks people, @Rork, LOL! I've actually heard of that really happening "oops, we lost a patient!" but fortunately rarely. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take anymore images that day... @Jovan, as a health professional, I am obliged to tell you that you need more than 1.5 hours sleep a day! You work too hard my friend! ;-)> @dhastings, they are just Venetian blinds on a window looking out from the Emergency department proper...I was thinking it could use more contrast myself... @Michelle, I hope you never get to find out either! Thanks again everyone! :-)>

A great study Punkclown like the blinds as a foil for the scene really suits the subject. Like the open doors, makes you think whats inside or what has passed, then the nurse doing something that you try and identify to satisfy your morbid curiosity. Thanks for this, a great story picture. :O)
