at first, I thought it was a person...then I thought it was a chair with something thrown over it. Usually there aren't people in these...so I had to rationalize it to where there wasn't a person...then I realized there was a person....heehee Very nice picture. I really like it.

the black and white (or infared, whatever you used...) makes it look really, really creepy...you can just imagine someone in a wheelchair looking up as they're rolled past...whether they want to go or not...having no say in the matter..just...watching the sign pass....

seems like a logical thing, Ozzy...

and POISONS INSIDE NOT FOR INTERNAL USE makes sence, but then again...where would the NOT actually go? The FOR is centered, and the INSIDE would take up that whole line, wouldn't it? Oh well. I didn't write it. =^__^=

All of the photos where truly amazing to me, i wanted to save my comments for the last photo, or i would just keep repeating myself again and again. I am curious about one thing and this may seem a silly question, but did you feel differently going through the old asylums in europe, or do you basically feel the same every time you step into an old building? Silly i guess, but it really intrigues me

Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that they remove the boilers? Mayme my cognisance of what the huge Titanic boilers looked like skew my train of reason...but I would imagine that would be quite a hefty, not to mention expensive, task to remove the boilers.

I know ECT is still used but it puts me in mind of Bedlam hospital.Especially since some of those who have it performed on them have it done against their will.If you need up in a facility like this your deemed not able to be responsable for your treatment and you lose the right to say no.

The statue would probably depict king Edward I or earl Henry De lacy who owned the castle.It could even be king Arther as the king used the legend as a propaganda tool.
