Motts, man, I know A LOT of kids who would go out and buy a book (including me) if you did one. And you wouldn't have to worry about left-overs; your book would probally be a best seller!

ewwwwwwwwwww, creepy!!!!!!

It's pretty cool but I've omitted the exterior shots to keep the location under wraps as much as possible.

I would like to see what this place looks like from the outside.

Regarding my post on the previous image, my question stands answered.

Ya know, it really DOES seem odd that an asylum would have an on-hand selection of caskets. Perhaps a bit of history regarding the types of patients treated here would enlighten us.

I really don't get the "repulsive and decrepit" idea at all.

Each of these photos captures a moment in the dilapidation and dereliction of an old building. sad, maybe, poignant, but never "repulsive".

Regards,
Sefty.

reminds me of the asylum from the ring2, that the lil lasses mam was in... its such an amazing shot!

whoa, i wish we had places like this in England....pretty cool site ya got here. Id love to walk around somewhere like that, ive tried here...but they dont quite have the same effect!

I would like to see a pic of me laying in that. Like I had been in it for years. Maybe be made up to look long gone. ;)

I have a question- are the ceiling beams usually thick wood or iron eye beams in those old buildings? Also, are the floors in the hallways hardwood under the tiles, or subflooring? I would assume hardwood since in the old days they did not half-ass things like now. :)

NuTcAsE: I agree I do not know what Brenden is looking at, I do not see a whit hand in this picture!
