Hotel Thomas Jefferson V

Posted by: Naaman

Five trips and I find something new every time. Another room. Another angle. Another amazing collection of artifacts.

And in this case, a newly drained basement. Flooded for over twenty years, now available to explore freely without the use of waders and garbage bags.

Same darkness, same diseases, no brown water.

I apologize to the people whose homes and privacy I may have imposed on during this trip. I sincerely hope that my pictures might bring attention to this area. If my photography helps one person in any way then my efforts have been worthwhile.  The greater good.

Words and pictures alone cannot properly convey the devastation. Complete. Total. Absolute.
