Yay new gallery and first comment!

It's actually thundering out right now where I am, lol. But I agree, makes it so much creepier, to me anyways.

Sad they couldn't have saved this and rehashed it. Do you know any reasons it couldn't have been saved, Motts?

Thank you Celeste, for all those links, as I enjoyed them a lot. wanderer, LPN & Stax, loved reading your updated posts on "the old gal", please keep them coming. To our dear Mica, your posts always make me smile, thank you.

Looking at their faces, I hope they found some shred of happiness at some point in their lives. Someone to care about them. I cry for them all.

These could be refurbished and used right here in the U.S. by people who can't even afford to feed themselves. More waste. How sad.

What a waste that these beautiful buildings are left to decay and the mentally ill are left to sleep in the streets just steps away from where I work. Sad.

Looks like a heart-shaped balloon that would be stuck into a pot of flowers.

Arrows point to the exit; they're usually painted by inspection or abatement crews so they can quickly move through these old maze-like places.

Dude, you need to make this one a wallpaper

Graves pictured here were unmarked because the patients were mentally ill. The institution believed they were protecting families from persecution by erasing their history of mental illness.

Thank you for the history stanley!

It wasn't too bad except for the heating - old-a$$ steam radiators that worked half the time you wanted them to and half the time you DIDN'T want them to.

But why tape it off specifically, the whole place is abandoned already...

Ye goodness Motts! In this one simple scene you managed to both have an amazing photographic representation of mental illness...

And something that CREEPS ME THE !@#$ OUT!!! BRR!

The abandoned chair, the graffiti, and the angle of the hall all make for a supremely creepy atmosphere.

Astounding that the design lights the rooms as intended even after zero maintenance for so long.

And what's that arrow pointing toward?
