The paintchips look like little moths to me
Unusual photo, indeed

It looks as though the walls are breathing

It looks as if it wear painting in watercolours.
Beautiful and mysterious

The doorway seems to be floating in midair, like a geometric vortex. Interesting and captivating composition.

Beautiful... there is a sense of fear in this photo... like waiting for the Devil to step through the door.

What a fantastic photo!
The deep saturated colours and cool, crystal light, set against the delicate crumbling textures... it's all so exquisite!

The slight reddish colour tells me this is blood. I bet it was left by the very last occupant of this cell. Since it was never cleaned, it could have happened when they came to transport the patient out, when this ward was being closed.

Or... might be from a vagrant or vandal who was here, more recently.

Beautiful composition... the light is lovely, and I adore the mix of stillness and anxiety in this shot.

Consider this : Perhaps it is not a rabbit at all... perhaps it is a demon, and those are horns, not bunny ears.

Perhaps the patient felt troubled by this creature, and drew a circle aroud it as a way to keep it confined, in a symbolic way.

The expression on the face seems both amused and menacing -- perhaps the patient hallucenated a creature who enjoyed being malicious.

Typically, people (adults and children) draw eyelashes to denote femininity.

I think it's a female demon, not a bizare bunny.

"Actually, that's a Speakman showerhead, quite a good showerhead. Stem-mounted Speakman showerheads can be found in Marriott and Westin hotels, as well as the White House."

No wonder the state ran out of money to care for these places...

Interestingly enough Janet Frame was nearly lobotomized right before she won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Guess that would make the good doctor look bad, especially after what happened to Rosemary Kennedy.

I kind of agree with Kevin - it seems that the perceptions most ppl have about these places is based on stupid B-horror movies. Blood on the walls? Yeah, right.

Maybe this is where they send deranged University of Michigan fans .... LOL (Can you tell i root for the Buckeyes?) :P

...and from my days working as a pharmacy technician...!

I recognize some of these from my days working at an outpatient psych clinic. ADL's....noooooooo...LOL
