This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

Urinals ~ Genetti Hotel - Williamsport, PA • click to embiggen
I can state without any reservation, do not enter this restroom - off the lobby and 4th Street Grille at the Genetti Hotel in Williamsport, PA - while under the influence of any hallucinogenic substance.

Seriously. I wasn't in a drug induced state, I was merely shagged out from a 7 hour drive, the last 2 hours of which were night driving on very narrow roads through some very mountainous twisty bits. After we arrived, safe and sound, in Williamsport and I stepped into this restroom, I totally lost my earthly bearings.

I didn't know whether to pee or wind my watch. It was really kinda freaky.

Well you've captured the unearthly glow of those interstellar urinals neatly. Aliens from Beta Micturis. I doff my hat to you, Sir!

Beta Micturis, indeed - I doff my hat to your command of medical language (or is it Latin [micturire]?), Sir!

Although, IMO, I think Micturis Minor has a more alliterative and interplanetary sound to it.

we stayed there on our last visit as well...Creepy. I think we'll skip the "nostalgia" hotel next time...
