Awesome - the door aglint and the light at the end of the hall, like a face! Yes, and the sting of fear..........................hmmmmm. NICE!

Ahhh this shot; just love it! Everything is PERFECT! The angles, the dark and the light, and the position of the chair: "Was just sitting here thinking" should i leave, the door is open. Naw,, I´ll stay.
Lone chair event, you´ve done it again! May you always be well, Mr. motts.

@??????, sadly, this hospital was demolished in 2007. Plus, Opacity has a policy never to disclose locations.

where is this place anybody know?
TELL ME!!!!!!!

Definitely Grumpy! Especially lens fog. Walking outdoors with your camera when its been kept indoors and say its cool and air conditioned and 85 or 90 outdoors ... oh yeah! Makes for a foggy shot :)

Tech question: Do temperature extremes have any effect on digital cameras? (lens fogging, mechanism sticking, etc.)?

There used to be a "Mystery spot" in Gatlinburg also...Made my Dad sick to his stomach for the rest of the day! Water running uphill, etc.

The cafeteria was named for my grandfather, Edwin L Olander, who, as a Republican state representative during the Great Depression secured funding to build this facility on the Northampton State Hospital campus. Those were different times, when Republicans supported the working classes. He was well liked by citizens of both parties for the efforts he made to keep people working through hard times. His son was my father, Edwin L Olander Jr., the Amherst College grad, Marine Corps pilot and former mayor of Northampton. When I was born the city clerk discovered that my father's birth certificate was not filled out as a "Junior" so I became "Jr" even though Im the third Edwin L Olander!!

moc pěkné

I went in there once, with a group of friends of mine. We went on a trip to Northampton on a whim in the middle of the night, with the intention of sneaking in but ended up meeting a "security guard" that gave us a tour of the whole place. We got to see the morgue, the auditorium, some of the patient rooms, the tunnels underneath the building that they would transport patients in (They felt the public shouldn't be subjected to seeing the patients walking around). Weird thing is, it looked like they left in a hurry. There were still viles in the morgue (empty of course). Crazy weird. @ Kikyo-I get the same feeling when I go by there too, so I try not to when I'm in Northampton. It's an uneasy sort of feeling that kinda draws me to it. Not a bad one, it's hard to explain, but I think I know what you mean.

hey where is this place
i am very intrested about these things

This is one of those old abandoned websites, huh?
