I love climbing ladders. I am not scared to climbing ladders.

Motts wants inside there.

i agree with you 100% squirrelie. everyone has a place that is special to them. kids just don't have that yet, one day they will. then maybe they'll regret what they did.

This reminds me of Girl, Interrupted.

Awesome color. Beautiful.

I believe the f in Beanerfarts is really a j.

So it should read Beanerjarts.

I love the way old pools freak me out, and I dont know why I like it but I do................... I kinda wana swim in there........??

this is crazyyy
AMAZING photography skills

Motts you are a fucking amazing man!!!!!! If only I had the chance to venture at my own will to places like these, I could spend hours on end just exploring, I live in little old New Zealand and it is a very young country and there is not much in the way of abandoned places, there are a few desserted gun emplacements and army bunkers, and I do happen to live about 5 mins away from an abandoned mental hospital but its small and, well, boring and lame compared to the places you have been. I have always had a mad funny obsession with dissused and abandoned places as im sure all the rest of these people looking at your site do, You give me a lot of insperation Motts, most of the time I just wanna jump right in to your photos and walk around in there, youve been to some amazing places. What a life to have lived. Keeo up the awesome work mate, and please write a book or do a documentry or something please please please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nevermore, the knife looking object is a file for wood or metal.
this place is absolutely amazing.

i am amazed at the condition of this place!

Man I wish I knew how to take infrared shots.

I love this picture... and wow for people personal relation. to these places, it keeps reminding me of how real it really is.

TB hospitals are so interesting, much like asylums are..

My uncle tended the boilers at this plant...the stacks were huge...it also had a steam whistle they would blow at noon and six pm and tthe sound traveled at least ten miles he started working there in 1931,left in 1949...during its heyday. they worked twenty four hours a day,7 days a week some intreresting facts...the boiler tubes were big enough for a man to crawl in,the top of the boiler was over 30 feet high...he recalled the use of inmate trustees that would shovel remains from the autopsy room directly into the fire box....he also worked the steam heat in the wards...he recalled inmates would sit on the steam radiators till there flesh cooked like meat,the screams form the severe wards could be heard all over the grounds
