These chairs certanly aren't lonley *nod*

This one is morbid to me almost. yes you can't leave, but look at your pretty curtains... No just the feel the the room. It makes me nervous to go to that room.

This one gives me goose bumps

Just Plain Creepy *ugh, shiver*

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing Big Ed!

Sure, I've have my foot go through a floor up to the thigh here and there. One of those times there was four storeys of nothing under me, I've tried to be much more careful since...

I can tell you if this is the third floor, the door to the ward is not the one that was first installed there. The following story occured after the fire. We had moved to the 1st floor, because the annex on the 3rd floor was toast basically. (Kinda neat lighbulbs had melted in their sockets.)

A patient had broken the 3rd floor door lock in an escape attempt. It was our job to watch the door as well as the patients. Several colleagues and I decided screw this noise. Lets find us a door. We went out got some tools and went an stole the 3rd floor door and hung it on the 1stt floor . We then brought the 1st floor door up to the 3rd floor and rehung that door there. The way we looked at it, it made the floor a more secure floor.

Why don't they sell those to nursing homes or Physical therapies, or better yet donate them.

I agree with Gustav, I'd buy your book. Also I love the ceiling there... The hall feels like it would never end, and would you want it too. Especially if you didn't know what you would find at the end.

Reminds me of the elementary school I went to in Ohio. The stair well was similar to this... when I look back on that ,the school was more like an asylum than the mental wards I've worked in.

Again, the agony and the exstasy. Breathtaking.

Simply, Haunting

The magnificent saddness of it all. It a take on being on the inside looking at the outside. The ying and the yan. Such a emotional photo from a master.

I still want to know what those papers say.

Very vived color contrasts. Looks to be the entrance to a chapel or a holy place. Maybe even a mausaleum. Just another outstanding Mott's photo.
