Welcome To Hell

The Gates of Hell
The Gates of Hell
I know this is a dark one for me, but I visited a very dredful place. I was in Yuma Arizona and visited the old Yuma Prison. It had to be the MOST depressing place I've ever been to. The historical prison gave me the creeps and I felt total despair as I viewed and walked into so many of the prison cells. Most assuredly this place is haunted, too. Lol! Anyway- This is the best I could do at conveying the feelings the place gave me.

So, this is what it looks like. Fantastic light and details on the doors, Laura. The flames are great.

  Good heavens, SSSLala. This gives me the creeps too. The is one aMAzing image you've created here. I can easily imagine that this hell fire could be exactly what some of the inmates must have been waiting to happen for them. WOW! Are those goosebumps on my arm? If this doesn't get Grand Prize I don't know what these photo competitions are for.

  Thank you so much everyone. It really was a horrible place. You should have seen solitary confinement. It was just as bad. Maybe I'll make that another entry soon.

Great seeing you all!! :D

  Oh, let me tell you guys, if you had stood in that cave and felt how dark and horrible it was in there you would see (completely) why that fire captures the feeling of dread. I wouldn't wish that place on anyone and to think it had man after man trapped in there for their ghastly deeds.... So terrible!

Thanks for the great feedback and visits!
-Laura :)
