I've explored Kings Park several times, although yesterday I made a special trip to the campus after seeing these pictures. I was determined to find and photograph this adorable little trike. Unfortunately, when I found the playground the trike was gone :( Thanks for posting these pictures, though, Motts! At least I saw the trike indirectly!

i've had my experiences with freaky ass dolls to spirts following me... but i've never been in a ward and i would realy like to investigate one with my dad sometime

(only a few years behind, but there it is ;)

I've been in there, and not that i dont believe in ghost, but when i was there, didnt feel like any ghost were there, nor did i see any or hear anything weird. But that just could have been coincidence that nothing happened, because i know people say they have heard doors close from other parts of the building when no one else is in there. Creepy building though.

Oh man, I stood there in front of that building in 2009 having a short chat with myself wether I should go in or not. I finally decided not to got, although I was really curious. I was really afraid of homeless people, drug addicts, the police - whatever. In my hometown Berlin I have no problems with entering cause I know about the legal system, can talk to the homeless without being scared, but wow! This was New York and I have seen to many bad CSI episodes.
Now I see this wonderful pictures I could bite myself in the ass for not going.
But thank you so much for your pictures anyway!

I Was the former patient Here in building 22 ward 222

in a very odd way, I find this image as one of the most peacful captures of them all. Great shot Motts.

Otis is a company in the UK, my boyfriends dad works for them, hes a lift engineer!!
How strange!!

KPPC "Down the Spine" was one of your best galleries, Mr. Motts. Some would call an abandoned & rotting asylum an "eyesore". But your use of light, angles, exposure times, and uncanny eye brings out the hidden beauty. Plus, if one's not careful, one just might learn something about architecture, past mental health care, urban exploration and photography. Thank you for Opacity.

Incredible. Time and nature doing their thing. The colors are spectacular.

I wonder why the window curtains were tied in a knot like that.

Beautiful craftsmanship and details.

Wow, this is a huge campus. The green vines on that red brick are beautiful.

I've said it before. Nature eventually reclaims everything. It's fascinating to watch something as massive as this building transform.

They should fire that electrician, even years after the fact.
