Emmmmmmmmm . . . .

Now this one scares the bejeebers out of me . . .

=8-o

Oh Lord! I would be drawn to this as well! This is how I would envision the children in the story seeing the place for the first time, misty forest and all!

Interesting angle - gives this more substance.

Oh, I really like this one! Great colors, good perspective, etc.

Oh yeah - I like it!

Stunning.

Yahoo! More pix! I am excited! :-)

As a kid, back in the late 1940's and early 1950's we used to have a Girl Scout Highjinks at this place. There were still children living here and we could talk to them and play with some of them when we were off on our own. I remember how strange this place seemed as a child.

Looks like the wheelchair's hitting Warp 9...

That chandelier looks awfully familiar... I can't remember where I've seen it, but I know I've seen that design before...

I always love the photos of plants coming up through the carpet. So interesting to see nature taking over.

I grew up around there and my sister an I would go there a lot, we loved it! They filmed the movie Cry Baby with Johnny Depp there.

*nods in agreement* And it's a good example of how you can get beautiful photos of abandoned places--even institutions like this one--that aren't creepy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the creepy ones too, but it's good to see one that's not every once in a while.

LOOKS LIKE A PAINT CAN SHAKER

That reminds me, Motts, I'm curious--do you usually photograph items (such as equipment, lamps, desks, the infamous chairs, etc.) just as you find them, or do you usually have to move them a bit to get the shot you want? Just curious...
