Excellent light and an awesome shot!

WOW! I...love..it!!!

Awesome shot!

Hello, 93. Gosh, it's so beautiful. If youve ever walked up to it, you feel uverwhelmed by the huge yet unyeilding silence it gives off. Ominous, almost.

I WONDER IF THERE IS A WAY INSIDE THE COPULA.

Oh what I'd do to run around this place. Motts, you're a real legendary photographer.

Superb! And to think I just stare at the rotting exterior every time I see this place.

This photo..... I can't even describe the beauty. You've out done yourself yet again Mister motts!

Beyond words, Mr. Motts! Simply amazing!

Love the contrast...

That does rather look like an aparition...

Joseph- weird, cool story. The popcorn in the movie, and the cotton candy people casings! You hear me? My man dressed up as a clown and the 15 kids at a Bday party tore his costume apart like ravenous little heathens. He was all, "Wait a minute, kids aren't supposed to be mean to clowns!" Anyhoo, Take it easy in Germany.

anyone see a skull in the soot above the fireplace?

Is this building an example of the Kirkbride Plan?

A long time ago,before I heard of VCR's,or even Pennhearst,a local news station showed some footage of life inside
Pennhearst.
I don't know about all of the children there,but some of those shown didn't even seem to be self-aware.
Some had giant flat heads and couldn't feed themselves mashed potatos.Others were bent in half and swayed rapidly from side to side like a bobbin in a machine.Still others had holes in thier limbs that were healed
so you couldn't tell if they were born that way or something else happened.
I'm not saying these children don't deserve love or help but-come on!
I had a aunt who worked briefly for a 'rehab' center where they kept the 'worst of the worst',some with thier hind legs twisted around thier neck.When rules change,funding is cut and families don't care what can you do.
None of thes institutions were built to hurt people,but as with anything some will be treated unfairly while others should have been dealt with more firmly.
As for the buildings, when you take the life out, a certain sadness settles in...........
