'Zero' would probaby the weight of an empty bed.

Music echoes through the halls. Close by, the veteran urban explorer pauses and listens carefully. He follows the sound, eventually reaching the decrepit auditorium. There sits a beautiful antique piano. The music seems to be coming from it. He walks up to the unmoving keyboard and taps a key.

The sink is placed right in front of the door. Anybody washing their hands would get smacked.

Where the secret experiments take place...

A group of people should go down there and put it in front of the building for the demo crew to see.

This reminds me, oddly enough, of the ovens in the concentration camps.

Jamara,

Please see below all comments:

" Memories and stories from past employees, visitors or patients are gratefully welcomed, they help keep these places alive!" Also please note about flaming. Thank you for your consideration of the site rules.

I think the only person coming across as arrogant Jamara is you.

AWESOME shot Motts!

This room has a very pleasent, bustling feel to it. The openness, the lighting, it just cries "whistle while you work!"

Again...I didn't read past the first half of the posts. People are repeating themselves and not focusing on what the real topic here is: THE PHOTOGRAPH. =[

While I agree all the comments insisting there were abuse and dreadful things happening in these facilities 24/7/365 are tiresome, I do not agree on the arrogant stance of some of my fellow healthcare workers. Of course most ppl not experienced in healthcare would assume horrible things always happened in these places. They are dark and mysterious and play with your head until you could actually believe the urban legends happened. Most ppl have an active imagination, and this type of art promotes the use of that imagination. Is this wrong? Not in my opinion. I for one am intelligent enough to weed through the myths and rumours for the more factual comments. I am assuming 3/4 of the other Opacity addicts are as well. (lets hope so). =]

I went to Rocky Point a long time ago and if I remember correctly this carousel was off on its own and abandoned, there were picninc tables nearby. I could be wrong and thinking of somelace else but this looks so familiar.

Oh wow !
Poem and photo go together so beautifully!

Yes, I remember the white wooden roller coaster at Lincoln Park. Did have great turns but scary as hell.. the wood was creaky.
