someone standing in the back of the hall to the left... ?

a face on the wall right above the head rest on the black wall... ?

looks like a misty figure on the stairs... ?

I'd like to take the trusses out of the ceiling and put them in my house - they're gorrrrrrgeous.

Remember - a bird in ha........wait, where's the damn bird???

Where's the dust? In all of these, I see no dust...

WOW! What a striking shot! It speaks... volumes. Truly stunning.

Your whole series here is amazing, but I gotta tell ya, the images kinda creep me out... looks like the opening scene in some horror-mystery flick... lights are on but nobody's home kinda thing... "where have all the children gone, long time passing..." Sort of like everyone vanished in mid-stride.

I can almost see a codgity old nurse looking in through that window... spooky! Stunning pic, excellent shadow play!

regrettably, in my misspent youth, I spent a fair amount of time in "seclusion rooms", aka "rubber rooms" - however - this is the first REAL Rubber Room I've ever seen. Awesome! When did you say this place closed down?

I see the 72... kinda freaky, really, but a beautiful pic... you're chapel shots are phenomenal, by the way!

There in the hall on the wall is that pale hospital green shade of paint. And those very upscale stylish state- of -the- art -drop-ceiling panels.
Both are sure to get a fetch in the reality market.
Heck if it wasn't just abandoned I'd leave it just like this and scoop it up, and reuse it all, for one huge children 's activity center.
Just bring in your canned goods for a donation:

It could have been a sort of staff resting area. Seperated from the chaos of the asylum. Like at one point maybe it had beds, tables, chairs. A break room that's what I was looking for as the right words!

it kind of creeps me out. It reminds me of some giant tongue on a sick monster.

That's amusing. They named a street after you in a mental institution, maybe it's a hint ;)
