Love the contrast of the photo..

Obvious Alien influence, Did you see any capacitors upstairs ???

I used to go in the early 80's. I think I peed in one of the castles. lol. I remember being scared of the water ride. the water was so scary at the age of 5. I remember so much. If you need info. Julie980@aol.com.....e-mail..

I still have nightmares of the time my family left me in a hosital in a bed like this! While I peered through the bars to the window as they walked away holding each others hands.

The contrast of the collapsed roof and rainbow colored walls is striking, like something out of a demented child's mind.. Like death and decay go along side dolls and stuffed teddy bears naturally.. Like looking into the child's mind to see an enchanted forest full of unicorns one minute, and shredded bodies and the souls of the damned the next..

Shots like this, the dark hallway with the light at the end, always remind me of the nightmares where you're running and running and running towards the light but the hall just continues to stretch before you.. The more you run, the longer the hall gets.. Reminds me of every painting, picture, or movie of something once vibrant now decayed revealing the true intentions of the closed in walls..

Excellent shot, great contrast.. There's always something about black and white shots like this that really strike to the soul..

Actually, the water drop gives the picture character, like something out of a clasic horror movie or The Blaire Witch Project..

Could this be a sump pump device? Most places here in the "d.c. swamp" are wet. The older bldgs were prepared for wet basements. Very scary and good photo. Please be careful in your wanderings.

It looks like most of these places had really beautiful entrance halls. It's almost like they wanted to decieve the parents and family members who dropped off thier children, etc. They wanted the family to think that they were dropping them off at a beautiful and respectable place.

I agree with Ilaynay.

I know that when I am stressed or depressed or practicly haveing a nervous breakdown, sitting next to a window and just looking up at the sky calms me down a bit.

LoL I keep expecting not to see anyone in these shots, so the odd time that you are in your own pictures I am not expecting it and I practicly jump out of my seat at first glance.

*takes deep breaths and moves on*

My in-laws have a very old house that this picture reminds me a little of. That house has so much history! When my in-laws and my husband moved into that house they found old slides that were labeled and dated from the early 1900s. They also found old newspapers that were used as wallpaper when they went to replace the walls. Even more recently than that a cult lived in this house. The place has alot of interesting history, some of which we don't know about yet, I'm sure.

Are those ceiling fans?

Weird, looks like an old ballroom to me. I have to agree with Java, the "air vent" looks like where a chandelier was once hung.
