Once constructed to help stop the spread disease, Wow! no telling whats lurking in there now!

I agree with Bill, and the leaves changing from dark green to almost golden is really lovely.

Love the reddish ivy growth on the top of the tower.

Spooky! Thanks for the historical background on yet another treasure of the past. Interesting info on the turrets-I've always loved the circular rooms that they form. You probably already know this, but please be careful of the possible asbestos that may be contained in some of these old buildings-I don't want you getting sick.

Very unique shape the staircase takes here. I love those gentle curves, it gives the area a rather organic feel.

Awesome job capturing the dust effects. What an interesting atmosphere this place must have had with this sort of sharp lighting.

Wow, that is a beautiful staircase, and look at those columns! They just don't build them like this any more.

(I'm a long-time-visitor-first-time-writer. Your photos are so amazing and spectacular, I couldn't keep silent any longer.)

Motts. Were the floors safe to walk on in most areas? Did you encounter any big holes in the floor like other institutions?

Even in an advanced state of decay these railings are still beautiful.

Wow ! First one to comment on a photo. Only the 2nd time in two years. Anyhoo, I think re-purposing a building is a great idea.

That's a brilliant angle.

That's too bad. It's hard to tell you're even in a hospital.

Looks like one of those 1980's laser-plane effects.

Nice. I can see how the lighting situation was a nightmare.

that is beautiful....your pictures are amazing
