The Razor Wire is for looks mostly. Just look at that stuff! Would you wanna escape? Get all sliced up?

I adore the colors in this pic!!!!

Doesn't anyone notice the white blob in the upper window of the middle building?

Scary. Nice picture though!

Someone had permission at some point becuase I just saw a book at Borders that was pages and pages of the abandoned parts of Ellis Island (mental and medical hosital and the like.) According to the book there are plans to start more restorations.

im glad there are some intelligent folks that know its a hooper its still used in nursing homes and hospitals today for the cleaning of soiled linens and clothing

Really beautiful.

It looks so picturesque from this viewpoint. The place is so large and spread out, I really hope someone has the sense to make use of this place before it looks like so many of the others. What a waste that would be!

I've already spent over 3 hours straight on this site, I just can't stop!!!

It almost looks cheery, as much as a prison facility can I guess, and the lighting is really nice.

In response to Talon's comment about cleaning the intestines, I did a medical rotation at our cities medical examiner's office and assisted with autopsies. We all had to clear the intestines at least once. It's an experience (and smell) one will never forget. The intestines were placed in a large soup pot to transfer to the hopper for cleaning. It was many years before I could make homemade soup again!

Remember that horrible dry powdery soap that came out of those things! Was probably Ajax or something like that!

Motts a father figure??? He's way too sexy for that!

Thanks again for sharing..........

Wonderful sunset!

What a gorgeous shot. I tried to forget what it was for a moment!!
