How do you say "really cool salmon building" in Latin?
it reminds me of a Coat of Arms, or Family Crest with an abstract attempt at two family "trees". Its quite strange, but a really cool picture.
MAX !!! You took my line!
"getting the drill out" !!
Okay, this is one of my favorite shots of all time. I love the angle, that staircase must be amazing. Great picture Motts!
Wow! what fab windows, the place is in good shape too.
Very cool pic.

As Motts points out, the hospital is near a river. Boy, does that moisture take its toll. The place looks like it has been abandoned for twice as long as it has!

They look most like some kind of kitchen equipment, but I'm sure they're not bread baking ovens. SHEESH! It would be tremendously time consuming for the hospital to bake its own bread. Much cheaper and easier to contract with an institutional food service company.

The mesh of the bed frames first struck me as barbed wire. I got freaked out like I was looking at something from a nazi camp. Then I pulled focus and realized what they were. Phew!

You said it, Lynne! I've never been "hospitalized," but I have been treated within the public mental health system for major depression/anxiety disorders, and I have known many others who have been hospitalized and/or treated on an outpatient basis. Mind you, if you've got the bucks for private care, you can pay for coddling. Us poor folks get pushed about and treated like we're "less than." It is a challenge to maintain your dignity at times!

Did you mean "fifth" or "filth"? I could drink a fifth and pass out in the filth!

Java, I wouldn't have noticed the tiles for the moss! I think I'm gonna call a landscaper to do a peet moss job on my bathroom so I can feel like I'm taking a leak in the woods!

Well, Psych, this area has probably been stripped down from the way it was set up when the hospital was operating. Who knows? Looks pretty grim now, that's fer sher!
