One thing that has always emphasized the sense of abandonment in places like these are the dead fluorescent lights overhead. How long since they last glowed? What did they illuminate in their time? How eerie that they now preside in total stillness over the complete lack of artificial light? Yeah, it's weird, but I always notice them.
I guess these lights never saw much of anything going on... imagine if the war had not stopped construction, if this had actually come to fruition as a massive, mandatory getaway for the German population. What then would these hallways have housed? It would make a good alternative history novel....
Wow! This perspective made my head spin. I didn't get it for awhile, until I focused on the handrail. I absolutely LOVE this shot, Motts. It completely demonstrates your brilliance and natural photographic talent.
You simply MUST consider selling some of your work as prints. I want to decorate my whole house a la Motts.
Ya know, this just doesn't scream out "VACATION" to me. But, I guess if you're the Third Reich, promoting mandatory vacations for 20,000 people at a time, this would be the best one could hope for.
Right. That sounds real legitimate. This coming from an individual who cannot even spell "said" and "die" correctly. Your claims might be given some sliver of credibility if you could spell, format sentences correctly or utilize common grammar practices.
Then again, maybe not.
Excellent gallery, Motts. As always, you remain my hero.
So far as I know, ECT is still performed as a part of some mental health regiments. However, it is done with a lot more discretion, and typically requires full consent of the patient or the patient's guardian. It is not just being strapped down and shocked. As to whether or not it was being performed at Danvers in 1976, I would not have any knowledge. But it is in use today in certain medical settings.
ohhalyssa, you can LIVE there if you have the money. It's condominiums and apartments now. :(
dme, thank you for all your comments. I love to read the true stories in the comment section, but the ijits who disrespect are always a pain. You and Lynne and some informed others are always a refreshing presence to balance the... ahem, pardon my pun... insanity.
Love your work, as always, Motts. And I was thinking... it must have taken a LOT of work to brick up all those windows, including all the ones in the Kirk, just to have it all torn down.
