They DO look narrow.

Incredible look into the past. The poor souls that passed through this door into the unknown. I agree with the safety glass...Good answer! :)

Looks like last walk to Doom.

Awesome close-up. Its amazing those springs haven't sprung or rusted through.

Yes, MamaToFiveInPA - me too, deja vu - but where? There are really nice ones like "Columned", "Species", "Blanket" and abundance lush galore "Green Inside" truly love - but they are different - hmmmmm - this `pouring IN´ is so amazing. Ohh well.....

Motts, long time reader; first time poster here. After reading your memorial to your friend, I felt like I had to post to pay respects. Over the years, I have watched this blog grow into one of the web's quintessential urbex photography sites, and your work sparked my interest and involvement in urbex and abandoned building preservation. Although your friend has passed, his memory will live on through Opacity. RIP, and my condolences.

Awesome photo! The beds, arch, and glow of orange form the brickwork outside. Looks like there was also a newer style bed just inside the arch that had head and foot board.

Another good one for info. is Autoguy :) Thanks! and great photo! Im just surprised those windows are not barred.

That flushed is just good to have around :) Thanks! :) Ya know, i just can't believe it not green. The barred area is most likely where a guard stood to watch over the patients.

The decay is amazing...Goodness, that also sounds like a bad joke given the circumstances of all the ones buried here. Maybe, i should just say the decay of the roof is amazing.

Lovely, Lush and green...Makes a pretty picture.

My heart goes out to all , Motts, Mama, and all the dead on this island. The past history posted is quite sobering and sad, and i can't imagine walking the grounds of this place, knowing the circumstances. What an experience! Will look forward to your photos.

Thank you for the gallery. Peace & blessings to you on the loss of your friend.

The lamps don't seem to fit the room- they're so small and lost in this huge room with the high ceiling

@Mama, that's the Chi-Rho, a Christian symbol that come from the first two letters of 'Christ' in the Greek alphabet.
