Thanks - I'm not knocking paranormal investigation; it's simply a little jest at the stories that surround this place. Perhaps some bad things happened here (who knows), but to accuse the Red Cross of torturing children with ECT and burying them in a mass grave seems pretty far fetched.

I'm not too sure what happens in regards of giving birth in a psychiatric hospital - my guess is that the patient would be transferred to a general hospital, as the state institution probably didn't have the optimal facilities to help a woman give birth or to take care of newborns.

I was standing on the last solid floor joist in the previous photo :)

Thanks - I used an infrared lens filter which blocks out most visible light waves, and allows the camera to capture wavelengths not visible to the human eye. The original photo is very red.

Unfortunately my setup won't pull out much color, so they are usually monochromatic, and I add a tint during post-processing.

The film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" features some stunning surrealistic backdrops reminiscent of the odd-angled window pane work at the top of this window.

Shooting this photo in black and white was a brillant idea. It truly gives it an ethereal quality...hauntingly beautiful! : )

I love this picture! Yes, I know, I know it looks creepy, but ya gotta love those baby faces!

Thank you, Motts. It's incredible to see the world through your lens. Nice set.

This place looks really fragile.

I love grottos! They are so peaceful. My dad proposed to my mom and gave her an engagement ring in front of a Marian grotto-how romantic! : )

So beautiful. I wonder who climbed those stairs over the decades.

Wow. @nick, the ancient Romans had tile mosaic floors. I betcha this is original to the building.

Incredible. Amongst all this rubble and destruction, there sits a beautiful staircase. Old world craftsmanship built that.

The castle in my dreams...

Are those marble stairs?
