Description
The Old Idaho Penitentiary
Boise, Idaho
This is what's left of the 1898 dining hall at the old Idaho Penitentiary just outside Boise. It was set on fire and rendered uninhabitable in the prison riots that took place there in 1973.
The metal beams and cables are what's holding it all together.
Zoom is better.

Guess the inmates didn't like the place too much!! Nice shot of the old place.
Excellent capture and interesting information!
Really cool capture. That's the kind of place I would like to explore.
This is what happens when they run out of ice cream at dinner time. Nice capture. The cables make it look like some sort of art project.
I like the way this turned out very much...this is as close to a Roman ruin we can get here in the USA:-)
so many visions wonders the grounds holding together the pieces remain warm hugs, Linda Kaye
I was surprised by the number of thoughts and emotions this conjures in me.
I'll huff and I'll puff , looks like it wouldn't take much to make it all down.
beautiful !!
If you pluck those cables, will they make a tune that causes the entire structure to dance? Just wondering. What a shot! What an image! This is a place I'd love to explore. There's so much to see!
Ooooh, this is my kind of place, to wonder about all the different colors and shapes. A most fantastic recording from this interesting old 'stuff', Tara!

A great scene of dereliction.
What a great POV here, I love the texture of those old bricks. This is like a viewing window into the past. And LOL @Chip! I'd like to see that dance, it would be most amusing!
