Uitgang is Dutch for exit

I can't remember any graffiti in this place, it was pretty untouched in that respect.

Don't know, I'm not dead yet...

Thanks, yes the rounded rooms at the Joseph Lemaire sanitarium were similar, and located in Belgium as well

It was in that position when I arrived in this corridor; I'm sure it was placed there by someone for the effect.

It is a bubble-like container with a plastic bouquet inside.

They are calcium carbonate stalactites from rainwater passing over / through the concrete.

No, nothing out of the ordinary.

Hmm, it looked like yellow mold, but upon closer inspection of the photo it appears to be part of the marble.

I'm not sure when people stopped visiting these underground tombs; I believe they are accessible from the top these days. Whenever it was, it was after plastic flowers were widely available...

Agh,

Look for 'Nike Rd' on the map, it's pretty close. It seemed like some of the buildings were being lived in.

Yes, it was a bright red color.

The bodies were refrigerated, not frozen. My title was just a bit creative...

I believe so, I didn't notice any that were left so I can't be positive.

Very nice analogy, I like it...

I don't know much about the physics of it, but feel that when the sun is so low in the sky, the light turns orange, red, and sometimes violet, creating a totally different atmosphere than what we are used to the other 22 hours of day or night. Everything is illuminated at a vastly different angle as well, accenting features that are often cast in shadow.

For me, nothing beats this event inside an abandoned place - the light is weak enough to emit a soft, colorful glow inside the dark corridors... I feel like I should be sprinting from room to room to try and capture what little I can in that 45 minutes of bliss.
