Thanks for shedding some light on that Lynne, it always seemed so cold and impersonal, but I see now what the intentions were behind the word

Beautiful shot, great colors! It looks to me like its the top floor of a building and not the entire building.

Thanks for explaining that better than I could've ever done, Lynne.

On the topic of adult cribs, an interesting item used was the "Utica Crib" - it was a wooden crib that had a lid on top, used for patients who would not stay in bed. It has long since been antiquated, but there are some remaining in museums.

MaDMaN, I was thinking the same thing...
But it does make an interesting picture.

ok, I gotta ask... is that you standing in the doorway?

The light was coming through the ceiling, which means water got into the wood stairs... they looked a bit rotted out so no I didn't go down there.

Yeah we got a little wet walking back... I wished the power lines weren't there but it was a quick snapshot, the road ahead was being driven on.

I'm not sure, I wasn't going to try my piano playing skills with a unmarked police car nearby....

Agreed, very desolate.

Excellent post, Lynne!

Reminds me of the bed of Frankensteine's Monster.

Anna,
My thoughts exactly!
Makes me realize, while I am very much enjoying these shots --- pictues like these remind me that these places existed because people were ill, sometimes an embarassment to the family and abandoned there . Puts it all back into prespective for me. Thank you Motts.

Once again another great gallery, Mr. Motts.

Hey Lynne,
Ya beat me to it, but I thought the same thing before i scrolled down to the comments!!.....No Static..... :-)

What are the hatches in the wall behind the toilets?
