Fantastic photo... It makes me feel like I've just been comitted and fastly being pushed through the hallways into a cell. I like it!

The devastation shows even through the poor little chair

Those tiles look brand new

And then you would be placed in a straight jacket and locked up in a padded cell, which is what you would deserve anyway, Conor. I really dislike destructive people like you! Stop it and grow up, geeez

Jeanette: Yeah it's really sweet! I like it too!

I agree with you KahunaTony.

Yeah it's definitely sloped. I also wondered if it was just me at first, but on a second look I noticed that it can clearly be seen when comparing how high the tops of the windows stretch. The first window is higher up than the other one next to it, and so on.

Sad? Sweet? Amazing? Come on, it's just some garbage lying around. The shape of it makes it look corny. But that's just what I think.

It looks like an office or something in that direction

Oh I've been down that road as well. Our first computer was a 286 running DOS 3.0 or 3.3 (can't remember exactly) with a 30mb 5.25" harddrive, 5.25" floppy disk and an external 3.5" floppy drive. We even had a printer to it so you could print your documents from MS Works version 2.0 I think it was. It also had a couple of games in it, like Space Invaders and such. My dad bought the computer from his job. The next one was a 386 some years later, it had Windows 3.1 and we even had internet on that one, with a 28.8K dial-up modem and Netscape that would take about 2 minutes only to start. This one also came from my dads job. Man those were some times hehe! We still have these computers and all their accessories in our possession. I graduated from high school this year so I was only a little kid when we used those computers. I learned how to start the 286, get into dos (there was like a little starting menu at first where you had to type a specific number to get into dos) and then type "space" (without the quotes) to make space invaders start before I could even read!

Nice ceiling

In the asylum in the town next to mine they used to strap patients down in a bathtub and let them bath for as long as it would take for them to calm down, instead of padded cells. It did happen that it would take like a day or two before they finally would settle down, and could be released back into their cells. There would be someone that continiously monitored the watertemp. The tub didnt have a tap on it, instead there was a waterpipe going straight into the tub which had controls on the wall a few feet away, regulating waterflow and temp.

I read Peat Moss' comment and couldn't help reflecting over it... I think it's a pity asylums everywhere is getting shut down and just abandoned and the patients just thrown out into the streets again. Many of them falls into homelessness instead of having roofs over their heads in an asylum. At least where I live (Sweden) there used to be an extensive mental care throughout the 20th century, but in the eightees they started to shut the asylums down everywhere, and todays psychic care is nothing more than a joke compared to what used to be. Since the mental care here more or less has been laid down (they only treat the absolutely worst psychopaths) the maniacs and psychos runs around everywhere and sets things on fire, rapes people, or even commiting homicides, etcetera. The belief that the patients will recover better living free to do anything they want is strong. But they refuse to see it's downside, that mentally ill people can't always control themselves.

The city next to mine used to be only a small village with only a couple of hundred residents until the early 1900's when they started to build the massive insane asylum there that would house more patients than the entire citys population. If it wouldn't have been for this asylum the town would still only be a little village today I think. You could say that it's the asylum that built the entire city. The original asylum had a capacity of about 1500 patients max, it has now been replaced with a new single building that can take as much as 110 patients. I find it to be very upsetting that they don't take this more seriously!!!! It's better for everyone if there would be a well developed mental care that has room for all mentally ill, they get roof over their heads and care and the rest of soceity will get calmer.

Oh man that is so awesome! It even has decorative lists on the side of the top! Nowadays it seems no one cares to put an effort into making things beautiful and decorated like they did just a couple of decades ago.

I feel like home when watching this one... A nice feeling in this great picture!

This is something I don't say everyday, or as a matter of fact I've never said it before, but I really like those curtains! The blinds, the wallpaper, the radiators and the windows themselves also adds to the beauty. And the chair just sits there astonished and admires it! hehe

I absoluteIy love this picture and I wish my room looked just like that! Excellent photographic work here Motts!
