I always got chocolate......

This may sound wrong, but it might be better then living on the streets.

Love your info Lynne!!

reminds me of the movie "the pianist"

the place seems to be so scary. just think about it's history! how many people died, how many suffered, how many tried to help them?!. it does have something unexplainably attractive but at the same time it's so cold and... dead.

the shot is great but i don't think i would like to enter the building - looks scary---

It looks like 16 to me...

What is that?

Maybe these ones were used to make cookies, as long as they didn't impliment the dreaded "One Milk Only" rule.

What a weird wheel chair! It looks so tall and gangly...like an awkward kid hitting puberty...or something of the sort.
..That or an old wheel chair. ;)
I wonder what type of patients would have been found in these chairs?

Yaggy's idea is definatly an amusing one, but I think maybe it was more along the lines of having the children have active imaginations?
If they were pretending to be sea captains and pirates, it would stimulate their minds into learning more, and possibly destract them from the grief of being in such a place and "not being normal".
Also, playing make believe would allow them to form friendships and make them feel not as alone.
Believing is seeing, after all. Somethings need to be believed to be seen.
And there is nothing more liberating (in my opinion) than being free on the open seas, able to control your own ship vessel, than being confined in the walls of a state school.

I love this shot, Motts. The height gives it a dizzying and disorienting effect. Very effective indeed.

As ironic as this is going to seem, that was probably for security measures...you know, to make sure people were safe and not beating each other up in the showers?
Okay...maybe it isn't so ironic, but you know what I mean, eh?

I have to agree with Yaggy on this one. It really is sort of depressing, isn't it?

I'll admit, Motts, it's not one of the prettiest locations on the outside, but I can't wait to see what wonders await us on the inside.
Maybe another one of your famous lonely chair photos?
Either way, I'm just so enthralled that you have new stuff up once again.
Yes, I'm even making my friend sit and watch as I browse the new masterpieces.
Cheers!
