Wow, to be institutionalized, not getting any, AND be living up north- that would be like a trifecta.....

I love this pic...

salamand3r :) that was really interesting :) thanks

You know, when the pictures of the seclusion rooms were done in the monochromatic black and white, they looked very harsh and dangerous.
These ones, being in colour, seem to fetch more of a sympathy from me, truth be told. I can almost imagine a young teenager who had been put there for whatever reason, crying, and reaching a hand out from under the door.
Perhaps a nurse on duty would reach out as well, and hold the protruding hand?

...I don't think so.

It does, indeed, resemble dried/smeared blood, but don't hold my word to that. If it were to be that, then methinks it would have been cleaned unless it occured after the shut down of this ward.
I must admit that I did think of the Poopkid when I first viewed this image. Haha. I just can't help myself sometimes.
Perhaps it's a painting which interprets a lighting fixture?
I thought perhaps it was some form of corrosion or rust, but the origin point appears to have been applied, rather than from dripping down the wall...

I'm still getting that overwhelming sense of being at ease and home.
Without a word of a lie, I would like nothing more than to just walk to that chair, sit down and relax.

...Knowing my luck, it would break under me though. Damn corrosion.

I enjoy this shot very much.
I'm not quite sure why, if it's just the colours, or the fact that this place seems untouched by graffiti...just natural causes of rot...or the colours in these shots, but I must admit that this gallery has been your most relaxing and calming so far, Mr. Motts. I never cease to be impressed.
These pictures just feel very much...like I'm at home or something. They are very soothing. Love them.

:) pleased to see NEW PICS :D YAY
Motts you take brilliant photos and Im in awe of your work, thanks for sharing :)

Mr.Motts, I must say, this is one of your most haunting lonely chair shots that I have seen as of yet.
The way that it's rotting, and then the condition of the floors and walls all around it are really...it paints an eerie picture.
Actually, it quite reminds me of this one desktop I had used for the longest time, called "The Devil's Badroom".
Just a thought. ;)

It's a little late on the topic now, because of the ruling but couldn't they have used Riverside as a prime example of renovations that work? Or, even this place, for instance.
Or did they do it, and it didn't work?
Or do we even know?

Hey, Doc Lynne, are these mostly used for spinal injury patients? In Atlanta, we have the Shepherd Spinal Center, and I thought I recognized this wheelchair as similar to one I saw there.

How ironic, though, because I spent 1 hour at Cingular today upgrading my phones ( got the Razr camera phone). I guess their advertisements got to me.....

Yet the walls are surprisingly spotless.

Never a dull shot by you Mr. Motts.

Great shot Mr Motts. You're right, from a distance the plank does look like it's free-standing on end on its own. Kinda defies gravity...... do you know offhand what this building is going to be after being renovated?
