What I find disturbing is that there is a sheep with my name on it that has fallen into the pit! xD

ummm...were' not gaping at the concept of the asylum, nor of the people that resided and worked there. It's about the building and its architecture. It's about the beauty in the decay. There are also pictures of abandoned factories and such here too, its not jsut asylums.

In addition, we look at these things with utmost respect. Many of the regulars here work in the health care field themselves. Some even worked in the places pictured.

These pictures are taken to preserve beautiful architecture that is no longer inherent in many structures built today. They are taken to display the beauty that can be present in decay. They are taken to remember the forgotten. It's not a farce.

Beautiful set! The building is absolutely gorgeous and you captured it perfectly in its final days.

Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that they remove the boilers? Mayme my cognisance of what the huge Titanic boilers looked like skew my train of reason...but I would imagine that would be quite a hefty, not to mention expensive, task to remove the boilers.

Very, very strange...the chair looks so new. And its not like someone could have just been spinning it around the hallways, the floor is in too bad of shape.

Another great gallery, Motts! Very enjoyable!

Almost looks like a fire ravaged that place a bit, or looks like something you might see in a war zone.

Beautiful shot, nonetheless.

I second you, Lynne - such nice colours in this place, none of that awful pepto-bismal pink or shocking yellow. These are colours I'd put in my house!

I just love the blue colouring of the ceiling, and the metalwork - this place is gorgeous!

Nice! Love the texture, detail, and colour in this one!

Did the stands hold those hair dryer thingies that you sit under? The odd seating arrangment in the previous shot made me think it had to be something like that...
