This train looks like it has been here for almost a generation

The train looks like its moving, but the branches are saying different. Nice shot.

Interesting shot, almost looks like somebodys revolt closet. I wonder what the brackets left to the napkin ringed "flag" were used for.

Almost looks like its waiting for the plants to wither and die before it moves again. Also noticing the front windows of the train how you can see the window wipers path in the dust, its looks like it was done not too long. ago.

I wonder where those screws near the red "wingnut" dial came from. Nice shot.

That's a fairly detailed skull. It's not the usual standard boring one. It's really cool.

The door on the right looks very low.
But it's hard to tell if the doorway was low, of it the arches are high =/

The building is turning to dust!

Sometimes a room such as this is all you can do. Sometimes the darkness has crept so far into your small mind that no amount of therapy or medications could ever change that. Whether in this room or in their own minds, some of children, including myself, are prisoners of their own minds for the rest of our lives.

I have to admit Mr. Motts I'm not too concerned about the soap dispensers :) Wonderful picture. Perhaps someone once believed if they scrubbed hard enough, they could wash away the maddening loneliness.

As soon as I looked at this picture I felt and overwhelming sense of "this is it". This sight seems to say "This is your home now...always has been...always will be". Heartbreaking. On a lighter note however, I have seem numerous posts by "AO" and I would just like to say that whoever you are, we seem to be very like-minded. Like me you look at a picture and see more than decaying furniture and pretty lighting. I am only 20 years young but I also try to see the forest and not just the trees :)

Forgive my comments Mr. Motts for as I read through the previous ones I find that mine are a tad on the darker, deeper side. There are lost souls in those rooms. Terrified of the voices in their heads and the images their brains made them believe they saw. I really believe those patients will be there forever. Not so much as ghosts but as one of time's many memories. Souls with eyes that stare out of those cell doors aching for something or someone to simply make it all stop and souls whose minds had deteriorated so much that their minds were no longer their own. Painfully beautiful.

HOLY MOLY

This is a BEAUTIFUL SHOT.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT MOTTS?!?

BRAVO!!!

This shot is so fitting as a symbolism for mental illness for me. You clearly and obviously see the wheelchair just as you would a person. Yet, in the background there is dark, mysterious room which for represents a mentally diseased mind far away from the real and tangible. Absolutely beautiful.

Reminds me of Pans Labyrinth.
