permission?

excellent shot

maybe that was the last power level...........

It's like a sign of hope in a dreary place

Then that's even funnier! 8`-)

hey guys..i was actually on this site yesterday and was curious as to what it said at the top where the devil is..and i actually was on someone elses site that had a closer view of this in color..and it says "Have another twinkie" not wave or ahve another twin

Motts, I've been checking out your gallery for a while now, but never commented. Your compositions are beautiful, and if there is anything I like better than your photos it's your sense of humor! You have quite an impressive body of work on this site!

I love this shot - it reminds me of a cyanotype; the old vs. new techniques of photography

This is one of those pictures that grabs me, like the vines, and won't let go.

Motts, you do not want us to ever leave your site do you? Dang it, I have work to do...well I guess it can wait.

TIme to look at the picture some more, and travel to the asylum

You would have had to post pics when I'm under an extreme timeline wouldn't 'cha?

In all seriousness, I love your stairway photographs, and outside of the angels climbing up to "Hell" this is my favorite of yours.

I was thinking maybe these rooms were used for patients with severe behavioral prblems or escape risks

The metal doors were on the more active wards. They used to be seclusion rooms. It came down to there were 2 seclusion rooms, on each floor. The rest became rooms for the patients, who could be trusted with the modicum of privacy the rooms afforded.

absolutely incredible shot, mr.motts!
i second the motion for this to be made into wallpaper. it is truly breathtaking!

Minktail~ I know what you mean. I graduated in 1980. BLM always played it the last day of school the years that I went. Even now, I'll hear them play it on that day. The last day of school was the best! Definately a high!

This picture also reminds me of my favorite movie, "Fast times at Ridgemont High." I imagine, Jeff Spicoli 's (Penn)character would have been the first kid out of one of those red doors if this was a school. No wait, he wouldn't use a door, he'd use the window in the classroom. Closer to the parking lot. "Hey Bud! ,heh, Let's party!" : )

ugghhh, now i'm scratching too!!
