you have a true talent for catching the essence of what you are photographing...add me to ur list of admirers

where is this hospital?

Motts, I couldn't donate much, but whatever I could, if it would help get a book of these awesome places, I would buy a copy (maybe A cd rom of all the wonderful places you've been) Put me down first for a copy!!!! - Ed from Oregon

Reminds me of a Ken Burns documentary shot for some reason. That is a good thing, I assure you.

If I came across these in a book there is no way I could walk out of the bookstore without it! These are wonderful!

Now these rooms and the building itself have taken on the insanity and the chaos of the patients who once roamed these halls.

I can totally see everything... very eerie.

yeah im joining the bandwagon...i think you should make the book and put some history in there too and maybe blueprints...i dont know just a thought :D

You know if you looked at this same door up close you probably wouldn't even notice the image.And Rob you have to look closely but just stare directly at the blue door and nothing else and you'll get it.

look through the hole into the mirror like thing and it looks like a dark figure is just standing there

it also kind of looks like a person smiling in that same shadow--you have to look close and have a good imagination--its in like the middle section of the window

Looks like the shadow of the window on the wall is melting

This is what they call a Geri chair its for elderly people

Ilaynay, maybe you just need someone to be there to point them out to you, im sure you would see what we are talking about. They are most likely paint peeling off the walls, (the one in the blue room is pretty realistic though) some of them are pretty interesting. (it might also depend on what kind of monitor your using too...)
As for the "Midnight tour" Im game for that!!

The picture is excellent, but your poetic description adds a luster of remarkable fine-tuned beauty. Please, keep up this excellent work!
