It's very similar to the old asylum in my city, in Italy..

Strange like all these places seem to be similar, in a certain way.

Actually they are "überdruckventils" and they were very important in combination with the HES air filtration system. When filtered air was pumped inside these valves would open because of the air pressure getting higher inside than outside. If the filter(s) weren't used the valves would automatically close by their own weight. This way it was impossible for gas to enter the bunker through these valves and still fresh air could circulate. (I'm sorry for bad English, I'm from the Netherlands)

I suppose someone wasn't confident in getting out, or perhaps didn't bring a flashlight, so they let loose a ball of string through the place.

Thanks, unfortunately this cannot be my career, as there is no source of income, only expenditures :-) So I think it remains as a passion more than a hobby.

I have gotten permission to photograph a few places, but usually there's a lot of sneaking around involved and risks to take. I think the legal system in the United States really prevents these places from being easily enjoyed.

Hello again first of all, I'm sorry if I'm a nueicance, and for my spelling.

I absolutly love this shot, I find morgues to be so fascinating, I'm not sure why. Could you tell me, how did you start this career path (Oh dear if it is even your career I'm not so sure if it is a hobby or not.) I also am wondering, do you get into these places illegaly or do you get special permission? I would more than adore being able to visit some place like this for exploration sake.
