Whoa ... I didn't notice the meteors. Nice catch, Stacy.

I agree with both of ya's. The vines make it look like the earth itself is looking up, and watching the world go by, as the hospital slowly decays...

Thank you Motts. A small gallery, but a good one, just the same. It gives me pause, and makes me think, again, at the solitude of places like these.

I don't know if it because this IS night photography, but this is one gloomy looking place. It's rather harsh architecture to my eye, even with the turret-like "extensions?".

Lovely architecture. It softens the buildings lines. And the stars add a wonderfully dreamy touch. A most visually edible photo, Mr. Motts! Derbies off to you!

Looks like something out of a 50's horror flick.....Nice shot!!! Where's Dracula....?

This building is mammoth enough to have a huge pirate dance. It's ominous, foreboding. Lynne bring your derbies!

The vibrancy of the greenery creates a great contrast against the empty, shadowed building.

"Round my heart the darkness twines,
Fractured windows, twisted vines..."

This makes me feel really small. The angle alters my perception of space. I truly adore this picture. The colors are nice as well.

New pictures, Yum! I mean, good. Motts, can you elaborate as to what's on the ground in front of the fence?

This shot is cool because the stars give the feeling that the world is moving on by while the hospital has been left behind.

It looks positively *looming,* like it's just about to jump some poor unwitting soul.

Awesome contrast. But.... Did you make a wish?

I like the vines there. It lends to the neglected emotions of the building.
