I'm really not sure... could be lights under glass, or just a design in the floor.

This photo is an infrared shot, which pulls infrared light from the scene... I also adjusted the hue to the blueish color in post.

I thought the ornate ceiling and converging lines of the staircase made for a graceful looking decent to the corridor below.

The green hue comes from light shining through the ivy covered windows.

I don't remember lighting this with a flashlight, so I think the lighting is natural, from a hole in the roof.

Thanks Vaals, unfortunately the hospital I tried for in Holland was sealed very well :(

No, I'm pretty sure this baby hasn't moved in a long, long time; undoubtedly rusted shut after years of disuse and corrosion.

Thanks, yes the light spilling into the room made this vignette... the windows and doors were shuttered and boarded on the outside, making the openings to the inner courtyard the only sources of light. It reminded me of a miniature Metropolitan State Hospital in layout and lighting.

It's possible... it was very difficult to tell which wards were which since it was so bombed-out.

Thanks! Unfortunately I do not publish information on entering these places due to legal reasons.

I don't think so; I haven't seen many of those in older elevators like this one. The building was only 2-3 floors as well.

I've had my share of ticks... just need to check for them at the end of the day.

Yes I'm pretty sure it's an adult sized crib, although it could just be a regular bed, it's been a while :-)

I have seen isolated viewing rooms for families to view people who died of contagious diseases in two hospitals, and they were very close to the morgue. The glass and other structures might have been removed from this room here; modern medical facilities usually don't have religious symbols like this on display just for the staff as well.

I'm still not positive of course but these observations together with the biohazard morgue drawer seems to make sense.

No, ECT was not used with water, as the shock impulses are delivered to a specific spot in the brain.
