FORE!!!!

That would probably explain at least SOME of the broken windows. Someone needs golf lessons....

BADLY. Hahah.

BINGO!!!!!

Oh, sorry...got excited there. Thought I won the jackpot.

Dare someone to walk underneath that ladder! AHAHHA!

I love how the blue windows are reflected in the water on the floor...

That makes for one cool shot!

This is SO cool!
Our daughter is currently attending college at Rochester Institute of Technology (a film student)...this made me think of her.

WOW. A new gallery AND a photography lesson in one. I find your explinations (and your photos!) to be fascinating and I never grow bored with reading and looking at them. I hope you never give this up (or at least not for a long time!) because I will NEVER get sick of browsing your galleries!

Why can't someone revamp this into apartments? I wouldn't mind living in a place like this if the apartment was soundproofed so I didn't hear the neighbors. Seems like such a waste, all because of money.

I hope they had plenty of warm blankets for the patients. Tile floors, large windows, brick walls, two forced air heat ducts, this must have been cold in the winter.

Concrete block walls, high beamed ceilings, tile floors, two small heat grates by the door, this place must have been FREEZING in the wintertime!!

There's something about curved hallways that just doesn't sit right with me. I'm not sure what it is, maybe not being able to see the end or who or what could be coming around the curve? Don't know, but curved hallways have always disturbed me.

Those windows.......really like them.

Very thick layers of paint indeed

...but look at the windows. It is very awesome & clever the way you may open one at the time for perfect air & breeze. Very good look. Love it.

Yes - that pitch black doorway magical event. And Smoking Permitted. Really different times....THANKS - food for thought!

The hair-driers left behind....as usual...........and imagine: SMOKING AREA. Ohhh dear.
