Beautiful but sad at the same time

thanx--- Pat am excited to see it soon-can't imagine it's finally happening slow but sure

The mysterious creature is a badger, the incription says "Dachsbar" which would translate to "Badger Bar".

strolled across the front lawn early last night...

much of the rest of Halcyon's foundation walls have been cleared away of brush and
overgrowth now. Very stark looking, but revealing.All windows accessible from the
ground floors,and a bit above,have been sealed with plywood. That is a whole lotta
windows. It does emphasize the interesting fenestration throughout, though.
It seems they are serious now about preventing entry. A responsible approach in terms of insurance,code compliance, and demonstration of intention to do things by the book

In some windows it looked like plywood is the only thing holding the window frames together!

contrastingly,i don't think they are so adamant about chasing away onlookers,
photographers, admirers, or flaneurs such as yours truly, with confidence that the site
is now [more] secure from the liability of tresspass.
In any event,i imagine Halcyon Hall as we recognize it has probably seen it's last summer.
Everyone be safe.

Nice pic.

I love exploring on cold, gray days. Nothing gives more of a pacifying feeling

@ Curt, it's the other way around.

The X-Ray creature you are looking at is far from a creature. It is a Franklin Head Unit. Its main purpose to obtain x-rays of the human skull. It was however a wonderfully adaptive diagnostic tool. A technologist well versed in its use could obtain films of hands. feet, shoulders, hips and other parts of the human anatomy.

This creature without question is a hero. I ought to Know. You see - your taking pictures of my diagnostic x-ray department. The pain of seeing these pictures and the choice of words used to label them is insensitive.

I lived in Glenn Dale for 26 years and the hospital was five minutes from my house on the government farm next door (also abandoned now). I worked at the hospital in the Medical Records Dept. every summer from 1953 to 1963 while in college and teaching. I walked through this doorway every day. It looked a lot different then (: The hospital grounds were beautiful and in the winter were perfect for sledding. I wish they would restore the grounds and put the property to good use.

Wicked pic, talent....!

So much win

Wow! This photo is incredible. Thanks for sharing your talent.

This thread - gotta be one of the best ones ever.... love it!
When i need to smile again, i think "Verden Stampede!" It works. Hilarious.
:
Think they just put paintings on walls without much reflection. Back in the days.

I was referencing the value as reusable projection equipment, but definitely understand about the collectable value. I have been bitten by that bug before as well. If this building were ever saved, one of these would be a nice addition to the lobby...
