Thanks, I have dreams about these places often, but not nightmares.

Paulina, the refrigerator opens from both sides.

The quote represents a quiet reverence for the dead, and commends them for helping medical science to do great things for the living (curing diseases, preventing similar causes of death, etc). Those are the intentions of the medical examiner and the hospital. No patients would enter the autopsy room unless they were dead... the "evil hospital" theory is a bit of a stretch!

Such a morbid thing to see, sometimes i wonder what the hospitals intensions were of the patients. This certainly could not promote a heathly well being. Maybe they wanted to keep them insaine so that they could warrant more funding from the government, lol.

this picture looks very desolate, like from a time long forgotten. It's rather sad the treatment that many recieved in these places over the years, only to be burried as a number is a forgotten grave plot, i've read that many families actually left their unwanted loved ones in places to rot. great picture, it really captures the mood

i am sorry for this vassels!nicecollection .10x for this foto.

I guess that could be one of the reasons why these places sometimes have fires, along with all of the papers and flamable items left behind

do you do nightmares about the places you visit at night man? i coulden't do that EVER but i bloody love the pic!

amazing picture
quit creepy and spooky like you could expect someone to pop out of the bath and grab your neck

Ive been to pennhurst 3 times and the third time i was just to enter the administration but we heard something creeping and coming down the steps from inside the building

I guess that would mean I need to buy a coffee table!

That's a link to the development site. Enjoy!

What I am saying is that the illness itself sometimes does not allow that person to understand that they need help. There is a reason why they are unwilling to accept the help and it is the illness itself. When something is messing with your mind you really don't think so rationally. It is something VERY frustrating for the people who love them. It is just not simply something they do to themselves, it is more something that is happening to them. Mental illness is not a choice. There is nothing worse than wanting to help someone and them not even understanding that they need help. I am not saying that locking them up is the right or wrong treatment. I am saying is that it is not thier fault, nor is it the fault of thier loved ones. It is the fault of a cruel illness that distorts the way they see things. I am not speaking as someone who has never had experience with mental illness. It sounds to me as though you cared deeply for your ex. However, sometimes to protect your own mental health you have to leave a situation. I am sure that your heart was broken a lot of the time. I am merely saying here that no person is to blame, the illness is.

Full of symbolism... see the star of david in the skylight?

What I wouldn't give to see an older morgue - the one where I work is just... I don't know what the word is.
But beautiful, as always.

I can't think of a better book for my coffee table!! ;-)
