Excellent pictures, your braver than I am.

the bars could have been high, or that could have been the first railing up top, with a second railing for smaller children to hold onto. at one of the elementary schools i went to there was a set of two railings, one high and one low, so that everyone could safely use the stairs. going all the way up or down a stairwell like this seems treacherous, though.

i love all the detail and the quality of light in this photo. it's beautiful and scary. it's amazing how much dust is on the ground, and how little got kicked up in the air, so the shot didn't come up all cloudy.

This image hits me hard. i'm just thinking about that poor bear; how for most of his lifetime he had all these kids playing with him, possibly learning to tie their own shoes by tying his shoes, being his "friend" if only for a few hours, and now stuck in this building and feeling alone. i suppose it's because i've always had this weird belief that stuffed animals have souls... my favourite book is "the velveteen rabbit." that explains a lot, doesn't it?

i can imagine some of the kids there being so depressed just from being in a place like that that they would want to just die. so having the tub room visible, with a window out to the hallway, makes sense, just so no-one could sneak in there, fill up a tub (i'm sure someone determined to die could figure out how after observing the nurse do it enough times), and drown themself.

wow nice shot.. i will mow the grass for $50 bucks lol

Excellent pictures. I especially loved the stairwell and the picture going to the basement. Very eery.

You must have taken some design/photography classes...it shows!

Much respect to Lynne for doing a great job.
Great but disturbing photo's.
Strange that so much stuff was left around. I would have thought it would have been removed for scrap at least.

toilet paper holder between 1st and third toilets

this place is just awful. all these sharp edges its a suicides fantasy .

i work at a rehab clinic and we deal with alot of poepl 35 to a hall. and believe me most of the help is not really there to help. and if you are one of the few that really cares to help its a hard job. worth it in the end but hard. and a glass window like the one above is very helpful. just to keep an eye out. cause in hall of 35 most of the time 10 or more are in need of something all at once. and the window comes in handy when you have someone in the shower and you are also answering all the call lights.

why would they have the fleur de lis in there?

Oh my... looks like someone dropped a big sloppy deuce on the toilet closest to the door.

Trans. Med. I agree with you on some part. Those bottles could have just been used to actually feed some of the older patients who just couldnt eat normally and needed extra care, I guess by the means of baby bottle fed? possibly? But then again it WOULD make more sense of there were babies there because they ARE BabY Bottles.

But anyway, FABULOUS picture. I hope to learn these techiniques and taks pictures that are just as amazing someday =]

Why assume because there are left over baby bottles that there was mistreatment of babies, I don't get the connection.
