Into The Obscure

This tomb was already opened. Pic was taken on an ancient cell phone years ago. You can see that some kind folks have left offerings to the occupant(s) of this destroyed tomb in New Orleans #nola #grave #tomb #burial #cemetery #eerie #taboo #explore #hidden #bsky #creepy

2 panel photo "infomatic" titled "Caveau". Photo is of the inside of a tomb in New Orleans that was already opened. It's a tubular brick structure with a rectangular concrete frame at ground level, and apparently a dirt floor. Various debris is seen inside, including bricks, stones, dirt, pieces of concrete and clay. Possibly a human long bone and skull cap, but these details are not clear in this photo. A few dollars and coins lie just inside the tomb on the right hand side, presumably an offering to the displaced spirit or spirits that once occupied this grave.

Drive-in theaters always remind me of the movie The Outsiders! I need to get back to this location and see if I can get more information from this machine, like the full model number so I can make a more complete history of it. @hellaobscura.bsky.social @karaphilip.bsky.social #resist #bluesky

photograph of an old drive-in movie theater projector. It was found forgotten in storage at a derelict drive-in. It's an aqua colored Christie machine attached to an International Projector Corp Super Simplex projector, circa 1950s but I don't have the exact model/dates right now. It's in rundown condition, unlikely to be functional in its current state.

A vertically oriented image divided into 2 sections. The top is a closeup photograph of a Zebra Jumping Spider o a window frame on an exterior door. It's called a zebra because the adorable spider is striped alternately white then black. The spider is looking at the camera, evidently posing in the classic jumping spider pose. The bottom half of the image is text, describing some basic facts about jumping spiders. It ends with a request to not squish jumping spiders.

an infomatic type of image. The top is an eerie, spooky, even scary image of an empty wheelchair on a floor strewn with debris and glass in front of a double staircase in an old mental asylum. The image was taken with red lighting, so there's a distinct red or pink feel to it. The bottom half of the image gives a brief history of wheelchairs.

Rumor is that the greatest art gallery in Illinois has joined #bluesky & everyone should follow them. I heard that it is this profile: @sassyartgirl.bsky.social

@sassyartgirl.bsky.social have you heard this rumor? Can you confirm/deny that YOU are the Strange & Unusual Gallery in Joliet, IL??

Random toilet paper roll found in Joliet, Illinois on top of a utility box across the street from the Strange & Unusual Gallery. Slightly yellowed marks on the toilet paper evoke a vague dirty, handled feeling. #photography #art #gallery #artgallery #strange #unusual #hellaobscura #joliet #artists #support local #localart #localartists #new #trending #hot #resistance #resist #onelove
