Last Tuesday I spent several hours in the waiting room of the Day Services Department of Letterkenny General Hospital while Aileni had a toenail removed.
Shortly after we arrived there I became fascinated by the false ceiling. Not very much after that I started finding it oppressive, and then it began to give me a headache.
It was easier to concentrate on a small section, much enlarged through my camera.
It was more comfortable looking at closer objects, when I could ignore the ceiling. I liked the way this chair seemed to be trying to move away from the over-warm radiator
Many more black and white photos can be found through the Home Page. Why not come and look - or, better still, join in?

I've had that experience too with ceilings like that. All of these make good monochrome shots. I hope Aileni is feeling OK, having a toe nail removed sounds painful.
Do people still use those old phones? There was a time before mobiles ...........
Nice pictures and I hope the operation af the toenail went well...,-D
No wonder you got a headache from looking at that roof, but I was also fascinated by that chair and the telephone. Excellent!
excellent perspective on the first image, it makes me dizzy and dont get me wrong here, its not a bad thing. it means there is a certain level of effect to the viewers and that makes it great.
regards
nice!!!! :O)
I am surprised it is a ceiling. I would have thought it was some sort of fencing...very interesting and so perfect in black and white! I am guessing that radiator feels pretty nice about now...even if the chair doesn't think so.
The ceiling makes me dizzy, but the chair is quite inviting.
I'm amazed this is a ceiling. I would think it would collect a lot of dirt, not so desirable for a hospital. I like the lonely chair in monochrome.
The ceiling pattern offers a dynamic monochrome! Great way to while away waiting time noticing the little things in the environment!
Interesting shots! Great patterns ... wish you a great weekend!
These were really cool and interesting shots!
interesting post. I agree with you on that seeling. We have similar ones in shops and tehy are not fun, made for a good shot though. :)
One has to wonder how someone could design such an oppressive waiting room, when waiting in itself
can be painful. I wish a Aileine a pain-free recovery!
I can understand that about headache :)
I liked the last shot a lot and it does look like the chair moves away :)

That artificial ceilings made for great photos though...
Dizzying ceiling shot!
I really like the chair photo, it looks vintage, especially with the "old" phone.
Cheers,

The ceiling is dizzying, the eye has no place to settle, but it does make a good shot. I also like the chair composition.
I hope Aileni's toe is feeling better.
Very interesting photos...
I like the old phone... :)
Have a nice weekend

At least you had your camera - foolishly I did not. The Minox would have been ideal in my situation.
I have never seen such a ceiling. Good photo viewing.
Interesting view,great shots ;)
Have a great weekend.
I've never seen the ceiling like that before. The old phone and the chairs attract my attention.
Have a great week end :)
Very nice and interesting shots! It seems that taking pics is a very nice way to cheat waiting times!

Have a nice day****
Perfectly done with the ceiling. Have a wonderful Weekend!
I get queasy in hospitals as it is, so that pattern on the ceiling would do nothing to help! I think you did the best thing, capture interesting photos in such a place!
Every detail around you gains importance in a waiting situation. Nice collection of shots!
Hope the operation went well.
wonderful way to spend time!
hope aileni is fine now!
The ceiling reminds me of waffles ;-P
