I just discovered your photo's a couple of days ago. My boss is away this week so I've been spending a little (cough cough) time going through your work. Enthralling is the best word I can come up with..I can't seem to stop checking in! It'll give me something to do when I get fired..HAHA!
Celebrate one year at this site, Feb. 2012 will always remember.
Some galleries have become like old friend, and some pictures are more loved/liked than others. I often gasp or say oawwow. That is good. It moves something in me. Don´t even think have been everywhere yet!
May you always be well is my daily wish, Mr. M.You are a brave man! And thank you, also.

Love this, the blue & gold hall looks very royal, almost like it should be in a castle somewhere.

Verden Psychiatric Hospital - keep returning to these amazing pictures all the time: the four galleries. Favorites, yes, indeed - and now that i know it was demolished 2008, is it possible you could tell the location, so i can check it out on Google Earth??? May you always be well is my daily wish.
"i would guess the yellow paint was scratched and peeled off and the red was beneath it."

That's what I was thinking. Red and pinks used to be popular colors (cause they're "warm") for hospitals back in the day.
Those lamps are so pretty, bet the glow was nice, once upon a time.
How they designed & built, Old-school FTW! Hand -rails on both sides curving so nicely; and that perfect window to give light, and to catch a glimpse of the world outside. Like this so very much! It is perfect.
