Motts, check out the reflections in three of the top four windows, looks like these stained glass windows are sheilded from rocks and debris by plexiglas, a technique I have seen used in old churches in my town...thank God for plexiglas.
Motts, first time adressing you on these boards, but, I have to say that this site kick so much ass....and this hospital is by far the most interesting I have seen yet...If I was a billionaire I would do anything in my power to restore a place like this to its former splendour...It's like the house of Usher if you think about it. Anyway, thanks for the photos and thanks for progressing the sport of Urban Exploration.
It's not really graffiti because they aren't screwing any thing up permantly they are taking a layer of dust off. Just like writing wash me on the back of a car. It's not destroying anything except a layer of dust.
Great shot - Whilst capturing the spectacular architecture, the towers and arches assimilate the shape of the parking bays indicated in yellow on the ground, while in general the place seems very alone, the city lights in the background offer a contrast between the famous/infamous asylum now prohibited from human contact and the glow of civilisation seen beyond.
The mid - tone colour is unique, if a little cold. In addition, it may seem that patients were almost oblivious to the outside world, due to the several barred windows - as if they could aspire to a different environment yet could not go there. A simple yet effective, thought provoking shot.
Grace...I thinkn it looks so grey because the windows are so dirty!! The sun could be out!!...LOL
Jude, I wondered the same thing about the mesh...Motts, could it have been an excersize room for employees?
