Window bars! Who's going to escape?

Great Shot! You captured the busyness of days gone by.

Awesome link to Thomas Jefferson University's Online Library. Pics of Byberry from roughly 1936-1945 if anyone is interested. It's creepy to see how alive this place once was.

This is true art. Great angle.

Nothing shitty about this shot, it's great!

Permission? What's permission?

But seriously, you don't need permission to photograph this ruin, although you are not allowed behind the fence in the day and no where near the place at night.

I would like to believe it's a spectre of a former patient who is most grateful to Motts for documenting this place of horror as testimony of the truth.

The orb is the first thing I noticed too. Was thinking along the same lines as Jacob.

These pictures are fantastic. Did you have to get special permission to take photos of this?

Thank you very much

You should earn an award for this one!
Subtle beautiful eerieness.
Nicely lit space, warm suds, back to the door... Uh oh... enter Chucky!

Damn! You've been doing this for 20 years! Wow!

How long ago had this wing been closed? Even before the 80s'?

Best picture in the whole bunch! I'm no photographer, but for me looking at this picture nothing really sums up Byberry's decline and decay as simply as this. It made me think real deeply....this had once been a place teeming with life.

They must have really kept these people doped up all the time. I don't imagine they did much psychotherapy in those days.
