The light coming in is actually kind of nice.

LMAO Jason!!!!!!!!!

This woman doesn't have crazy eyes, she has creepy eyes! *shudder*

LOL Larry D and A D Nilsen!

LOL LucieLou!!!!

Oh my, now I am really feeling claustrophobic! I guess it's nice to have a cabinet for your things...and to injure oneself on.

Larry D has a great point. When I first looked at this, my claustrophobia kicked in. However, I would definitely take THAT over the open dorm! Eeeek!

Wow, I agree with Larry D, the brickwork is amazing...and on a prison no less. You just don't see that anymore.

LOOOOOOOVE THIS! Wow, Motts, what an amazing shot!

I'd love to update my wallpaper! Did you mention veritcal pictures are not good for wallpaper? If not, PLEASE make this wallpaper!!!!

the perspective on this kinda feels like a gothic painting, where the perspective is 2 points and tilted up like a stage, a bit of a fun house feel. simple, but disorienting. two thumbs up.

LOL Mama!

Cool pic! It does look like army barracks. Either way, I love my pillow top mattress...and privacy. I guess that's what happens when you need to get locked up! ;)

i can't believe there's people that think that was used for real. guess some of us need to brush up on some high school biology. there's no blood type x, and anything that contains infected body fluid should have "bio-hazard" on it somewhere. great job on the pic, you've successfully fooled a lot of people! cheers!

No i was never in somerville hospital however my foster mother and others tried to put me in a place in lancaster Ma the hospital was huge i don't remember the name of it though but they tried to put me in there for life i believe it probly closed down as most of them in 92. The only thing i remember of it was meeting with the dr an staff they didn't believe i was to be placed in there so my foster mother tried gaebler and was placed in.
There was a movie that placed a girl in the hospital when i saw the hospital and they said lancaster brought back the flash back as it was yesterday however there is another movie where there was a girl place in but that hospital is in Stockbridge, Massachusetts called Austen Riggs Center the place is all white like the one in lancaster the name of the movie is called Intensity whice at the end of movie the girl was placed in austen riggs. I can't stand not knowing the name of the one in lancaster.

first off, the pics on this site are fantastic - the full scope too, both vintage and new. great overall balance, contrast, and creepy feel to them all. just out of curiousity though, what did have to do to get tours for these places? and how did you deal with asbestos issues?

I love the black and white for this picture!

I think they open something, Full Fathom Five. Perhaps. ;)

I also agree with the lighthouse comments. :) I LOVE sircular staircases! Great shot!
