so they can fatten them up and eat them for breakfast!!!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

why do the asylums always have the strangest little drawings in em.

Oh I've been down that road as well. Our first computer was a 286 running DOS 3.0 or 3.3 (can't remember exactly) with a 30mb 5.25" harddrive, 5.25" floppy disk and an external 3.5" floppy drive. We even had a printer to it so you could print your documents from MS Works version 2.0 I think it was. It also had a couple of games in it, like Space Invaders and such. My dad bought the computer from his job. The next one was a 386 some years later, it had Windows 3.1 and we even had internet on that one, with a 28.8K dial-up modem and Netscape that would take about 2 minutes only to start. This one also came from my dads job. Man those were some times hehe! We still have these computers and all their accessories in our possession. I graduated from high school this year so I was only a little kid when we used those computers. I learned how to start the 286, get into dos (there was like a little starting menu at first where you had to type a specific number to get into dos) and then type "space" (without the quotes) to make space invaders start before I could even read!

love the faded sign. motts you're a photographer i inspire to be! its the decrepid places that have the most character, they just reek in history and a wandering mind can imagine some of the wonders and horrors the inhabitants of such places have been subjected to.

Seriously, looks like a person coming through that gap. Just look, you can see head and shoulders squeezing through. Did it look like that *before* you snapped the photo?

what a terrible thing for little children to once have been in a place and situation such as this. children were supposed to be out playing in fields and playgrounds, not locked away in decrepid hospital wards. it makes you shudder doesnt it?

i suspect it was to make sure doctors n nurses could see if a patient was drowning either by accident or deliberately,.

know thyself.. makes sense for a mental hospital

A nesting ground for pigeons and their disease, I'm sure. Great shot.

I wonder how many patients tumbled down or were pushed down these stairs.

Could you even breathe in here?

This reminds me of the old prisons I worked at in Connecticut.

The bed almost looks human.

Wow. I love this too. Did you use a winde angle for this? Awesome.

Fantastic shot. I can only imagine the mold spores in this place.

Have you seen any ghosts?
