I live in the shadows, that place between light and dark. I can live in obscurity without being in total darkness. I can move into the light but retreat when I become too exposed. It is the place that I feel most at home. Always wishing to be in the light, but only safe in the shadows.

Evil Shadows: Dachau


Taken in the gas chamber at Dachau. It was bad enough to imagine the carnage and inhumanity that occurred in this room, but this window seemed the most appalling of all. While the light and grating produces a spectacular contrasting effect, it seems perverse that it was in the "shower" room. I wondered how many ended their life pulling at the grating that was blocking the only access to the light and fresh air. So evil.
