Being on the outside looking in is much more pleasant I am sure. The prison is located in Ft. Madison, Iowa and will soon be replaced by a new one. I am thinking about entering this in the windows contest. The thought of prison and windows with bars is very depressing so I thought black and white suited it. I left the noise because I couldn't find a guard to quiet it down and I wasn't going to say anything. Enjoy.

Glad to know you finally got paroled! LOL. Nice looking black and white, Tick. Places like that give me the creeps!

The overall effect is dark Tick. I guess prisons were not meant to be happy places though. I think this would make a great entry to the contest.

Excellent, Tick! I can still hear those tin cups clanging on the bars.

Is this where Elvis is? Looks forbidding and a place you don't want to end up in B & W Tick

Now I know where all my youngest ones friends are!...lol...And I'm really not joking. Your capture has given me a new understanding of prison Tick. Looks like a morbid place as bad as a funeral home. Thanks for enlightening me and a perfect and great shot buddy!!!!

Never gave it much thought until now Tick, but those must be the most appreciated Windows in the World. It beats the Hell Out of Solitary!

Great Post........Best of Luck!

A striking photo, Tick. Nicely b/w presentation with good lighting and textures. A good perspective in the scene. Best of luck in the contest should you enter this photo.

The image projects the feeling of hopelessness and of view from behind the bars. Good entry for the contest Tick.

The B/W gives drama. Or maybe it's dramatic anyway. But I wouldn't like to know. Scary place but beautiful shot. Good luck, Tick. I mean with the contest. LOL

Tick - This b/w shot seems to depict the undesirable life of prison. Yet, studies show that the recidivism rate is so high that too many spend additional time behind the stone walls and barred windows. Some very good photography! Thad

Marvelous shot with such detail and textures. I'm sure it's also safer on the outside.

Best not to be too bossy at a place like that :) Noise is sometimes good, as in this photo

B/W a perfect choice. Some nice stonework there, no doubt better viewed from this side.

Best wishes for the contest Tick.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
