Yes it was a neutral grey colored stone... I tried to capture the blueish morning light before the sun crested the hills.

I'd say 2 feet on each side of a 3 or 4 foot walkway on top, so that sounds about right...

The letters were painted on, but it does look like something was once next to "S1"... here's a closeup: http://www.opacity.us/...-poisons_closeup.jpg

Yeah the hall was more violet in color in person, didn't come out well on the camera...

No... I believe it was covered behind the observation window.

All these were shot digital - Canon 5D with a Canon 24-70L lens.

luminous star, I didn't get to visit any more castles as we were majorly pressed for time... I figured the castles weren't going anywhere soon, but I know the asylums are in danger of being lost each day.

I don't remember being able to make out any of the images on the film.

Yeah that smudge on the top of the hill is a raven in mid flight... blurred out because it was still a little dim outside.

Not sure how much ACMs (asbestos containing materials) were left inside, they can be difficult to assess to the layman's naked eye.

The sign was a Fire Procedure Notice, with what might have been a fire alarm next to it. I suppose this photo is just chock full of fire safety symbols!

There still exist smoking areas in at least some psychiatric facilities.

I took Opacity as being derived from the word Opaque.... because I used to wear "Opaques" pantyhose. Sorry for the totally uncool reference there Motts.

go on, try to escape... i dare you

this shot sooooo makes me think of hill house, the creepy gothic mansion from 'The haunting. though that film was set in america the real house they used was actually in england too... and yes it's even scarier in real life...

bobbo this won't get torn down for a supermarket, in Britain old buildings like this are all eing turned into fancy flats (apartments) and sold to rich people... i'm sure this will go the same way
