This is an absolutely incredible shot. It's like I'm there in the room, silently watching the dust float by.

Awesome!

The story behind this art piece is so sad. The woman "Gennie" suffered from Bi-polar disorder and was subjected to horrendous human experiments. By the time of her death, she was a living vegetable. For those that think this is simply "desecration" of a building, think about the desecration of souls that were once forced into this place. This piece is proof of what humans are capable of doing to one another, all in the name of "science". I can't imagine living with my BPD during this period of time. People were and still are so cruel towards mental illness.

what a trip, we used have in that place,, we used to send the heavy cement roof borders crashing to the ground, the stupid security guys used to chase us around. the tunnels are another fun place we used to run around through building tobuilding

Boiler blowdown pit.

This is such a beautiful place! Can't believe it was once a hospital. Almost could be an art museum!

So fucking cool! So many lost souls, down that cold drain...

Seriously gorgeous building.

Preach on Barbara. And with all the time some of these folks spend complaining about how there was no privacy, may be they could spend 10 seconds and look a little closer and see the marks on the wall between each toilet (one high, one low) where partitions were mounted. It always surprises me how quickly people are to jump on the cry baby train. I'm sure it was horrible to have to live here, but let's not exaggerate for our own morbid pleasure people.

Thank you, Ilaynay. I guess people see what they want to see/what they are looking for.

its dizziing

Neat - those laundry cart tracks are great. I've only come across them in really large, sprawling hospital buildings. http://opacity.us/imag...mouth_of_madness.htm

Could be a Pink Floyd Albumcover

You can see this in the hospital where I work, too: in the basement are the remnants of "train tracks" that trundle off in to no where where the tunnels to the older (and no no more) parts of the hospital used to exist...

Love those chairs!
