I second lucielou and ferdy....love gettin new stuff :)

makes me clausterphobic to look at!

the rust at the back looks like a shadow to me...

light like warm out of reach hope

Perspective on this one is cool, looking up towards the ceiling, with the bulb leading the edge

Yup, the vine reminded me of a sine wave!

I think the guys living in here barely had any basic needs, let alone cans spray paint. But the place has been tagged up considerably since these photos; I still doubt any of it was from the homeless living in there.

That's a skylight, although there are a few sizable holes in the roof elsewhere.

Yup, it's a cell block that has been mostly scrapped or dismantled for some reason, no doors or railings.

confess - The tiled area on the first floor might have been showers.

psycho - Thanks, there's definitely a draw to these kinds of places with their histories, and some can really send off a creepy vibe.

oh hahaha now i see it

Paint over tiles? Or just something very odd?

Thanks, lol.

Ferdy that sounds excellent to me! Im always intrigued by the words Motts uses to label his pics! Maybe if we are lucky , he will give us the final word!

Imagine the stories this place could tell...
