This place looks pretty unstable. I wonder if it's still standing. This is one of your best galleries Mr. Motts.

very true, lisa! people who give security a hard time make it more difficult for the honest photographers to do there jobs. i've been through here a few times and had no problems. (the tunnels are a little creepy though lol)
Its a supine restraint board. they strap you in it so you cant harm yourself. inside the canvas there is slats of wood that keep it straight. The straps are tied around you and also used as handles for transporting violent patients to a safer area. Trust me, I spent 5 years in a mental facility.

Lynne dissappeared after going to explore an abandoned building.
I've seen hundreds of pictures on this site and never posted, but this one amazes me. Its almost eerie to see the power nature has to return things to its natural state.

I don't think quite yet, but demolition seems imminent.

I believe it's a closet; the metal rail inside looks to be a pipe or conduit.

No, I process the photos on the computer which can give a similar effect to on-camera photo filters.

I've noticed that the water main is shut off in almost every disused building I've been in, probably to eliminate a leakage problem that could go unnoticed for some time. This would disable any water based fire extinguishing systems; I'm not sure how other systems are handled (Halon etc).

Hey Motts,
Reminds me of an island on the Chippewa flowage (New Post, WI). Before they flooded the area, they dug up all the bodies except two (no one knows why)... left a whole island of oblong mossy holes, empty graves. Wish I got some photos :)
I think this is my favorite photo in this set. Love the blend of colors and textures.
I can only imagine how amazing it must have been to first set eyes upon this site.
Beautiful photograph, Motts.
