This facility must have just been vacated. It looks like it is in pristine condition.

Although most of the hospital shut down in 2003, these wards were closed back in the 1970s.

Too many photos, not enough time. It really takes a while to process each photo, write about and tag each one, organize into a gallery, write about the trip, then craft a few paragraphs on the history of the place after researching it.

I still do this today; I hope to post a handful of some recent trips in the Ephemera section every now and then just for fun.

I don't write stuff down, which is a problem - so I actually do forget lots of details about these trips, and things that don't make their way into the photographs. I try to write a travel log when I shoot overseas though, as those trips are packed with so many excursions that it's difficult to remember what happened even by the end of the week.

just wondering how come all of these sites you went to a half a decade ago .. do you ever post or do you still do this today .. nothing seems current, the website is awesome just curious about this

this place looks rocked for only closing 7 years ago

Whatever it is, it sure is pretty huh.
