 Thanks for the comments all. As Rasai had hopped I had already done here is the story behind this one.

It was taken at Eastern State Penitentiary which makes for some interesting photo opportunities such as this shot above. I honestly don't know if this is really where haircuts were given or if it's just a room this chair ended up in, however I thought it made for a rather bizarre picture and was my reason for entering it in this challenge.

goodness...no thanks. Is this is an abandoned jail somewhere? I can totally imagine a series of grim, high-fashion model shoots right in this room.

Evokes a sense of impending disaster of sorts. Love the chocolate brown of that wall behind. Lovely capture of texture, color, ambience.

WOW! They just don't make them like they used to! Quite an interesting photos! Hope you have posted a story to go along with this! Really makes me wonder how the chair could be in such good condition amongst the rubble.
