God, Motts, what is your fixation on coffins?

Hopefully, Barb, if that was the case, they managed to get the kid back out of the coffin...and didn't just leave him there

Motts, did YOU walk around these places all by yourself?

well barbara, i have to hand it to you . Your vocabulary is wonderful for an 18 year old. I would have never guessed your age by reading your comments, very nice to see

I think this might be hell.

Yes, there is a very wide audience. I myself am 18, but I happen to know that there are many older people that view your pictures as well. Some have worked at these abandoned places back in their "hey-day." I for one would most certainly buy a book containing these photos. I have looked at bookstores but seen nothing, so this book would be quite a well sought after novelty. Perhaps Lynne should give commentary! ; ) I know in some other posts it was discussed she should publish her info in a book!

Yeah they are found in hospital rooms too, especially surgery recovery rooms. When my grandfather was in the hospital for surgery 2 weeks ago, I sat in one of these (he didn't need it, he was in the bed, I'm not that mean!) and they are pretty comfortable...but not when you are stuck in a place like this with no one by your side.

Words cannot describe how eerie this is. If I came across this, I would probably be frozen in fear for a few moments, and then I would run like hell.

yikes sam, Sam that would give me a heart attack! I wouldn't want to touch those things, I always think they could have been used...temporarily..I just think that if these places didn't care about their dead, they might be to cheap to actually bury them with the coffin...but pretend they would when they show the coffin for a wake. *shiver*
Reminds me when we bought this cardboard coffin for our fake skeleton Halloween decoration, and being like 10 I decided it would be neat to lay in it...my dad saw me and got pretty mad "get out of there!" - I'm sure that was a horrid site, though I didn't think about it at the moment.

It could be that some kids were exploring and playing around, and one thought it would be "funny" to shove one of the kids in the coffin....but I don't know...

However, i think there is a wide variety of ages browsing this site, for i am only 15,
i came accros this site because i was looking for a lonely picture so i used the words 'loneliness' in google search and found an amazing picture from Kings Park. i needed it for inspiration of a dance piece for my GCSE's (qualifications), and i have ended up choreographing a dance piece based on a few pictures from Kings Park :-)
Perhaps this doesnt inthrill you the slightest, but it jsut goes to show how inspiring your fantastic photography can be Motts.
