This is truly a beautiful shot! It's so inspiring in the same sense as it is saddening. Motts, you're a genius.

Icewox, I know of a worm-like creature from the Resident Evil 3 game, Nemesis, that had this look from the front. Very scary looking thing.

Q, lol. Took me awhile to stop laughing at your comment.

Awsome pictures. It is so sad that some are not taken care of and to think of people that have died have also been forgotten. I love walking thru old cemetery grounds plus do genealogy also. Chicago has a old historic graveyard, Graceland beautiful headstones. Plus a relative is there... still looking.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Reminds me of one of those exotic starfish with the squiggly-looking arms.

The wheel looks out by itself, way up high. How would they have gotten to it?

In the jungle, industrial jungle, the watchman sleeps tonight. A wee-ma-way, a wee-ma-way....

What are those black and white checker boxes? This is the second picture they popped up in, I think.

Profile... or a mug shot?

The gallery picture looks psychedelic! I hope you didn't slip on that bar.

At first look, I didn't see that was a deer sculpture and the whole shot seemed kinda spooky. Interesting stuff. If I was in charge of the place, I would have had the nose light up red for Christmas!

That would make a nice model to build yourself for a hobby. It sorta reminds me of that Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disneyworld.

Poor, lonely plant. But quite a neat building. I'd like to see those back rooms.

I've seen some kind of snail or slug creature or something that looked like that.. Maybe it was the movie, Tremors, but I'm not sure.

Thanks - not sure why there was less tagging up here, but it wasn't particularly hard to get to. The smokestack seemed more of a target, and probably even taller: http://www.opacity.us/image9063_downriver.htm

Thanks Janice. It seems pretty tough to track down family member history from the DMH (department of mental health). You can try contacting them, but I found this reply posted online, which doesn't sound too optimistic:

For a deceased client or patient, DMH may only release records pursuant to a valid Court Order or upon written authorization from the client's Executor or Administrator of the client's estate. This is true even for very old records. Also, even if there was a Court Order or Probate Court authorization available, it is possible that any records from 1991 and prior (if they even existed in the first place) may have been lawfully destroyed. State regulations permit the destruction of impatient records older than twenty (20) years old.
