I actually enjoy the contrast and coloring in this photo with the mood. The blue sky and the clouds with the tree there in the Background (greens by the bike) sets the mood as if it was peaceful and quite yet the institutional building and the forlorn bike in the foreground give it that pity feeling and hit of sorrow giving or hinting a feeling of emptiness?
Pretty awesome perspective shot. I'd like to draw this sometime. Idk what it is. The Simplicity maybe? The vacancy. The fact these halls were once full and now empty? Or maybe it's because it looks uncomfortably narrow. >:T hmmmm... and the Walls kinda remind me of my old Middle School. Specially before closing.
I remember trespassing this place twice when I was younger. I remember we all wanted to get high but thank god we didn't. A lot of dead cats and birds, the walls were peeling everywhere. I saved this picture years ago because I hoped I would find it. I never got arrested but my friends who lived in that town did, several times, because they went on the roof. I remember feeling an intense, warm presence and was thankful I wasn't stoned. My friends parents even went in the tunnels. My mom said they shut this place down because people started having families, plus the lack of money and the invention of medicine. My mom thought it was cute I was so fascinated and would show me articles of survivors penning memoirs. You can definitely feel the pain there, at least I did. I've loved your site for years. It definitely helped me see the envious building 93 that apparently takes a crowbar to get into.
Our hospital is now sitting empty here in Vermont. As I look at this I wonder how many 1 to 1 chairs were left in a similar fasion in our hallways when we retreated from the flood.
They used to use that machine to suck peoples souls out of the top of their head, then their soul would fly around inside going heeellllpppp mmmmeeeeeee.
