In the picture that someone left a link to in thier comment there was a little fountain. Was it still there Motts?

June 30 is the 50th anniversary of the last day of passenger service on The Rochester Subway. All aboard.

with a new coat of paint it will be good as new! I think not...

I have a hard time picturing a 63-year-old man spray painting his name all over the place.

My great great great grandfather was in the spanish american war and i still have his uniform : ) It fits me perfectly too.

The bottle of stuff on the sink looks like Gilette powder or after shave to me.

This shot makes me think about the hours... some sat in their rooms staring at the walls... and fumbling with things eccentricly... I would give my right arm to sleep there for a night.

I agree. I thought this last night. Who in the hell would want to live there where this bulding stood? I pity the fools who actually consider it. There is without a doubt, a living entity flooding these walls. And even when the walls are gone, it will still live here... And the word, grounded in that last comment is a great word to describe the feeling,etc. here...

The angle of this shot is great. It feels like either your running or being rushed toward the window and about to explode from it... or that it's a window you are trying to run to, but like an never ending hallway it moves further and further away... If you stare at it for a little bit, carefully... you'll notice it almost seems to stretch and bend... like a funhouse mirror.

This photo reminds me of my emotionsl troubles in my past. Feeling like a prisoner... sunken eyes and colorless world... When I look at this photo, I see rain through the windows and hear it falling on the over grown grass... I can feel the texture of the crumbling dirt and sut on that floor... The glass looks almost like stars or glitter... This room makes me feel like I am swallowed by it... and I can never leave...

They look more like gigantic grenades. Am I right? AM I RIGHT?!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! And of all the photos, I have looked at.... WoW! To the photographer,You are truly an artist... you have a way of presenting such a unique perspective... showing it, in a way that others refuse to see it as... so to speak. To admit, it's beautiful...

I love the color blue!?

I found this site last night. I have been looking over and gazing at pictures of hospitals for a long time... especially kirkbrides... this one is absolutely ravishing. After reading the news last night that it was to be demolished, (I hadnt checked in a while), and knowing it was being demolished or had partially been as I read... made me feel like me heart was being burned inside. It is such a trgedy the way people are today and see no beauty in something like this... especially if there is no money to be generated from. And the comment about, creating something we can all be proud if??? What was this man thinking? How could you not be proud of this castle? Taking it's onlookers and people all over by storm... attracting seekers and ghost hunters from all over. It hurts me, personally... Hospitals like this one have been a hobby of mine for a long time and they're haunting me really. it really saddens me deeply that I will never get the opportunity to be touched and step foot in this building... as I have often dreampt about it, and many others...

Duran, would these be the same reels of film referred to by Sam's 7-28-05 post under the picture entitled "Watching the Outside"? He claimed to have or have seen films showing abuses of patients at Pennhurst.
