Ha! Nice highlander reference.

Interesting that the peeling paint is mostly above the door level.

I love the designs and craftsmanship of the past. So very caring in their arts. Is it ironic the eagle head is facing away from the departments or am I the only one that notices these things?

I always find it amazing, the random chairs in abandoned buildings. It's almost as if the building is reliving its previous inhabitants.

i want to sit in that chair.

No matter how strange or expensive it is, you can always count on a piece of school equipment having something written on it with a black Marks-a-lot.

So true. prisoners worked to support themselves and were likely much better off as a result. Learned how to do something of value and were maybe a little safer while in jail. Idle hands today seem to lead to a lot of problems.

Oh, that is a good one.

I am guessing that the circle stains evenly spaced on the ceiling must have been lights at some point. Outside of that, there doesn't seem to be any signs of lighting.

The prisoners probably had to spend all day punching those star shapes into the cells and stairs! That was exercise enough!

I belive that is from a flashlight that he was using to 'paint' light for the picture.

Always a really neat effect!

You got it. Apparently he gets around.

Did you have your orders prior to entering? :)

I would imagine that there are lights behind the panels. That seems to be the norm. Great shots!

Just imagine it with the 'skylight' still working. Most likely it is backlit, but still...
