this picture is amazing, you have some keen eye for beauty in the most unusual places

if it carried steam, then why was there a wheelchair in it??

that's a being reaching up to the light for help don't kid us wow this is the most fun any one can have. I want this whole sight ion my favorites.

It wasn't a wing, it was an underground tunnel that carried steam from the power plant to the hospital building. These places often flood because there is no drainage, and the water gets deep when no one is there to pump it out.

I think they were lab reports.

Yeah I wear a mask in steam tunnels and places with a large amount of friable asbestos that could/will be disturbed.

Just as a side note, a P100 rated filter is a good idea if you don't want asbestosis later on; a paper dust mask or bandana will do nothing for you. Do the research before you go.

Wow, that doesn't look in all to bad of shape. Still wouldn't use it though!

If you look at the floor near the shirt, there is red stuff dried to the floor, blood maybe?

This picture is perfectly horrific.

Why was all this area flooded? What wing of the hospital was the now flooded area used for?

I want to go snoop!! What were the papers laying beside the tubes?

Gee, I hadn't thought of that bk. Thanks for forcing me to visualize little children trying to claw their way out of the ward. ;)

This reminds me of Silent Hill or Resident Evil. Chills.

I hope for your own sake that a filter mask is part of your usual gear?

Hey thats in pretty good condition- considering how old it is. Im surprised none of the metal has been taken for use elsewhere.

Now I know why I keep coming back, I love these shots that frighten me out of my mind!
