I absolutely love these places where nature is reclaiming long abandoned property. They have an almost spiritual sense to it. They have become the subject of my art in the several years.
FYI- The ferns are just introductory plants.
Every year, as the winds shift, countless airborne seeds are carried to this ceilingless room, the wooden floor, door, and walls pack abundant nutrients, and those seeds, with enough water, will grow with wild abandon, reducing the wood into an even more fertile compost mix for other plants and trees.
Ned Moran, I didn't know she was built as the Apollo - I didn't know that Mescek owned the Apollo, Since the Ned was formaly the Fredrick T. Mescek, but then again the TES and Steven Lang could be wrong. No Matter what name she was she still is a Lady and yes she did help dock some of the great liners, I very sure she helped dock the Queen. Didn't mean to step on any toes.
Hey Motts, did you use some sort of filter, or is this a natural color. It looks creepy, haunting, and beautiful at the same time. I was able to create the same effect in some of my drawings.
I do see the ring of dead grass at the upper right side.
If you look at the building wing towards the left of the photo, see how the exit door is placed at the rear, and the rows of windows, it almost looks like an old bi-level railcar abandoned in a yard.
A CSX facility had ancient Chesapeake & Ohio Railway double-deck passenger coaches in one of their yards, along with locomotives stripped of their engines and transmissions
Thank you, Dr. Sketch. There was no need to apologize. I suppose I can't blame you for your reaction, especially if you're used to people not having the facts. This is my first time on a site like this. I'm truly mesmerized by the photos & all the comments of everyone. I should've clarified my wishes regarding a memorial of some sort. I was referring to the 768 unmarked graves on the grounds of the hospital. Those souls who were disrespected & forgotten make me want to cry.
