Once again, beautiful architecture and lovely photographs, as always.

I do loathe needles, though...

More or less!

But only if you had received the proper vaccinations in advance, right?

I love it.

Such an amazing photo...I wish I could have been there in the time of its "glory".

I quite like this shot.

Beautiful crumbling sad place.

Here is a translation of what Juan said:
This fantastic photo is terribly dreadful and instigante, it provokes me fear but also much curiosity would adore to visit the ruins of this old hospital.

Wow.great pic's.reminds me where i used to work in london there was a moruge which was used during ww2.man that place used to creap me out.your pics do the same well done sir!.

What a nice contrast between modern day and ancient buildings.

Very ominous looking, yet I bet these buildings were exquisite when they were in use (still are)!

what a shame today i read that apartments were built here going for 2-6000 dollars a month and people are complaining already about weird things happening

After seeing the "face" I am scared. I like feeling the excitement of the creepy lonely chair thing, but I really do believe that place is haunted. *shivers*

Wow, so many of these saddening places that are "marked" by death and tragedy are just so extremely beautiful.
