i lived across the street from a psych asylum. Its pretty odd why they would put a neighborhood there but check it out its called. Pilgrim State. So scary and still active. We go atv ing there you see the crazies watching through there cells. Place is the most scariest looking place. In commack, new york on long island Pilgrim state check it out tell me if you agree.

Thanks peggyanne, I might have a joint book project in the works soon... and I will try and make it to the west coast soon.

Motts, you enthrall me with your artistry! What's the latest update on your book? Gift-giving season approaches once again, and I'm getting anxious to send some green your way!
Any chance you'll be coming to the Left Coast? We have our share of old sites...mostly still in use (**shudder**)!

Tricks of the mind, maybe?

Beautiful pictures, as always!
