it looks so pretty outside

why the pipe organ

not so bad looking

New Gallery? Well my day just got made. Thanks for sharing Mr Motts!

The angle here, makes it look like the room is closing in on itself. Great shot.

It's like the hotel ones, so they stay behind after use. The size markings on them are funny though. Would you trust them, if clothing were hung there?

Do it yourself security?

Not a bad one, but it could use a few more windows to brighten it up a little bit more. Still, the light is ok here.

Very Chistmassy looking room, I know it is the wrong color green, but it is there & with the very red carpet, makes me think that.

Asylum cemeteries have a sort of sad magic to them, because just the fact that unless you dig through the records the people will never be remembered. Have you ever thought of getting more shots of interesting cemeteries Motts?

I love to see current & old shots together like this, shows you what has & has not changed over time. Thanks for doing this, Motts.

I've been to in asylum cemetery for The Athens Lunatic Asylum, now know as the ridges, and the graves only had numbers but the number was carved in the stone so you could still mostly read them.

You don't see this done much, if at all anymore. If it were possible, somebody should save this & reuse it in a new building project.

It's so cool to see a hospital and prison combined. Both of the coolest class of abandoned buildings.

I bet the view from here was wonderful, if you were able to get one. Were you, Motts?
