747 Comments for Foster State Hospital

This shot makes me feel like I'm exploring it under water.
Like in some sunken wreak.

The woodwork on those stairs and banister must have been quite the sight in it's day.

Huh that wall looks like it has a skin disease.

Did you do any ludes today?

I like Mott's shot more as well.
But still a great find Joe.

Not exactly huggable is it?
Poor critter.

How grand looking in comparison to some of the previous shots.

Pigeons are just another species of bird.
I neither like nor dislike them.
Any animal trapped in there is going leave similar results.

What a difference in this room as opposed to the others.
This looks like a bomb went off in it.

The cracking pattern resembles a street map of some suburb.

I'd go nuts with dual faucets running hot and cold.

Mama you beat me to my comment.
Great minds think alike. :)

That looks like a door outline in the cracks.
Wonderful composition in this shot.

Nice,a new gallery.
Lots of decay and mold I see.

Thank you; I find these places through a number of channels, including historical research (old maps, documents, etc), word of mouth, current news, and other documented explorations posted online. Some are found by accident as well - perhaps looking at an aerial photo of a city, or just driving around.
