The raccoon wanted his soup, thank-you-very-much!

That bowl does look oddly bright and new against the falling-apart chair and the bricks and the general dust and decay around it. Hmm.

My first thought was that like I Love Decay...a diner door...it looks almost like a cafeteria (the glazed bricks) in a school or something. The only thing that "ruins" that image is the blackness on the other side of that door...Very cool picture.

Thanks LarryD! always appreciate knowing these things.

Nice wallpaper! Im badly curious, sooo i would have to look into the boxes too eldokid.

Wow...talk about depressing. Makes the psych hospitals I stayed in seem like DisneyLand in comparison!

Bleh.

*Looks like a giant EYEBALL*

Gasp--this is CREEPY to the max!

HAhaha! Too small a line for a body bag i think Mama, but that poor critter must of walked the entire building looking for a way out before it collapsed and died.

This is what that lonely wheelchair at the bottom of the steps wanted to get to--all its chair-friends here! :D

That one in the front actually looks comfy. :)

Odd-looking chairs! Makes me think of something out of Star Trek or something!

That is one yellow-hued room. BRIGHT. :)

The wheelchair wants to go up the steps.

The wheelchair can not get up the steps, as it has no hands to hold on to the railing.

The wheelchair sits dejectedly at the bottom of the steps, longing for whatever is up there.

How sad this picture is! :)

Sorry, forgot to mention the terrific light shadows on the wall and floor.

Look at those gaping holes in the ceiling!! Weren't you afraid the whole thing would collapse on you? You can barely see the checkerboard pattern on the floors--you have to look really hard, but you CAN see it. :)

Wow----suits then on psych patients?? When I was in psych wards (and I have been in plenty, believe me) it was a struggle to get some of the patients to even wear a flippin hospital gown! We usually wore our own clothes, but you felt grubby and messy because there really wasn't anything that you wanted to "dress" for...just lonely hours of staring out the window or staring vacantly at the television that was always tuned to some stupid soap opera or talk show.

Those floors look really shredded...they didn't hold up very well did they? I was wondering about the ceiling too...is that going to fall in or is it just the angle of the shot?

Sorry, but, i was transported back to the Commercials for E.D.

I love this! What views it has! I bet it was a very lovely place to sit and look out the window and daydream at one time.
