Excellent photo, puts a human touch on an otherwise decaying structure.

i use this one on msn as my picture and i love it

Any ideas what the wire's are feeding from or to?

The boats look eager to get back to work but lacking human will to make it happen...

Emotive!

Angela~So sorry that you cried on your visit!
And yes, this IS a scary part!
It is actually through old photographs from people's visits to the EF though, that is allowing artists to recreate how these structures and its figures once looked like. It was my picture of Papa Bear from 1967, that they used to repaint Papa bear. That is why photographs then AND now is the last chance the EF has to come back to life for a new generation! Please feel free to get in contact with the farm or share your photos on

In the end , photographs and video is what will save this place from becoming extinct!
It doesn't have to die here and now. : )

I keep looking for the ghost to pop out of the corner.

Wow, a good friend turned me on to your site.. I am enthralled! Will be showing my gothy daughter the site as well and keep checking back in case you DO get a book of photos published.. would love a couple copies.

Having worked for city and state institutions in the past I have discovered that the number of steps and amount of paperwork to sell something that is state or federal property often makes it more cost effective to just leave it behind. This is particullary true if the item is not almost brand new and latest model or something really hi dollar. This is probaly why you find so many wheel chairs left behind. It isn't worth spending 500 in labor adn admin costs to sell something worth under 100 on the used market.

Wrought Iron will turn a purplish-red as it oxidizes.

Way cool picture!!

hi dear, i.v. stands for intravenous which simpply refers to something that enters a vein. the glass bottles would have been filled with saline, nowadays, thankfully, they're made of plastic. a long tube runs the saline solution directly into the vein. there are many reasons why this is done, rehydrating, etc. but it is a great way to administer drugs intravenously, especially if it's something they plan on doing more than once, or something that they need the patient to be on a steady supply for any length of time on.

hope this helps. : )

rich edwards, yes the SS United States is in Philly,she can be seen from the street but there are private guards to keep you from getting too close.

Are there any sites about this hospital that may have pictures of this when the hospital was open? I would be very interested to see it in it's glory, however I think i will still prefer it as it is in this photo.

What does I.V. stand for? sorry I know I'm a dim one

Now that is just amazing... I feel like I'm there, I want to look round the corner of the shot and see what else is in there
