It is too bad that this building is now a heap of rubble. Most of the old assembly buildings have been torn down.

anna, it feels different each time for me... it depends on the type of place, if I've been there before, the temperature, the sounds, the smells, my mood; a whole bunch of things that form into one memory that is occasionally brought back by visiting a place under similar conditions.

My memory hasn't been the greatest with details though, after 100 or so hospitals they start to blend together. I want to start writing my trip down afterwards so I don't forget...

I didn't try to climb up top to see if the original ceiling was still intact. I don't remember seeing a ladder up there either...

Yes the left side of the hallway was boarded up, I assume it would be the side facing outward from the hospital.

This place was smashed up a bit, but yeah it wasn't too vandalized.

This was an unusually long and narrow room... it is the same room in the previous two photos. I would assume it to be a seclusion room at some point if the door had no handle and the window had this cover.

Yes the stack on the right were from the power plant.

Yes it was a neutral grey colored stone... I tried to capture the blueish morning light before the sun crested the hills.

I'd say 2 feet on each side of a 3 or 4 foot walkway on top, so that sounds about right...

The letters were painted on, but it does look like something was once next to "S1"... here's a closeup: http://www.opacity.us/...-poisons_closeup.jpg

Yeah the hall was more violet in color in person, didn't come out well on the camera...

I didn't see many of the other buildings here, but they all looked similar in that they were cleaned, stripped, and burned... there wasn't much hope for finding more artifacts in the rubble but perhaps someone has...

No... I believe it was covered behind the observation window.

All these were shot digital - Canon 5D with a Canon 24-70L lens.

luminous star, I didn't get to visit any more castles as we were majorly pressed for time... I figured the castles weren't going anywhere soon, but I know the asylums are in danger of being lost each day.
