Dark skies. sound sad. i believe nobody wanted live here. just because of their situation, condition, live and die here. they are chosen to be there. and they soul always belong to God. we as human being just pray to their peace without prejudice. amen.

the drawing looks force to be broken. it doesnt look like broken by itself. yeah, even its old, the brooken look perferct broken. not like natural broken.

Does amie have amnesia because she sure does like to write her name alot, maybe in case she forgets what her name is

I think the term mental retard is highly disrespectful. Have respect and imagine what they must have gone through. Has anyone that has ever climbed into one of these ever sensed anything?

I've always wandered If when the patients die, do their spirits return as a "normal" person would be where their mental state of mind has disappeared or are they still as they were when they were alive

These pictures were incredible and beautiful, thank you very much for sharing them!

That building was way ahead of its time for size out there. Kings Park was just a small rural town way out east with small buidings.

I used to live close to this place. It was always mysterious and creepy. Hi Debbie, I may be going to Florida this winter. Lets explore there!

This room is very creepy. I dont think I would want to be there

It looks as smooth as an ice rink. I bet you really could ice skate up there.

While we're on the subject of food...I just wanted to say I especially like the shots in your other galleries of the kitchen areas of these old structures, Mr. Motts. I have been a line cook for many years, it's very interesting to see the older set ups; hoods, ovens from decades ago, sinks and prep tables. A lot of the equipment I've worked with in various places is very old, as restaurant equipment is EXTREMELY expensive and not easily replaced. I can almost hear and see the ghosts of past cooks shouting, trays and utensils clanking when I see the images you've captured. I have salvaged equipment that has sat and corroded in disused places before, so to see those photos evokes sounds, smells, textures, and feelings for me. I also wanted to share something that I'm sure does not occur to people who are not in the business...cooks in general have an enormous responsibility to handle food properly to avoid making someone ill or in some extreme cases, killing someone. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen, usually the very young or very old. Cooks in a hospital have an even bigger responsibility because so many patients are on restrictive diets, and they are 100% resposible if they feed someone something they should not have. That is why ordering food in a hospital takes SO long. When I see photos of the old kitchens and dining areas, it makes me wonder about the systems they used back then, everything being hand written, with no computers to make things more efficient. Sorry for rambling...I know there's no kitchen shots in this gallery, but I was looking at the other KP galleries and came across a few.

I know this is strange but what come to my mind is.... that is a long way down. Last view you would see.

Wonderful as always.

Superb.

The irony is almost overwhelming. :)

Jaw-droppingly stunning.
