I actually saw a lot of windows like these in the castles in England, Wales and Ireland when I was over there. It allowed one on the inside to view multiple angles of the outside but only a limited space from the outside. I.e. one could shoot a bow and arrow at multiple angles from the inside without the fear of an arrow from the outside entering (in a castle). I would imagine they tried to keep the architecture historic/similar even when constructing the original hospital; buildings are much older over there.

Well I do my practice and soon work in much smaller complection mental hospital in Estonia and in so called "violent ward". I think it couldn't have been worse than nowerdays then, when the ward- A worked. There were only few truly agressive patients I think.. This all violent thing is overblown..

This shot makes me feel like I'm falling down an elevator shaft.

Lovely iridescence.

I believe "someone" was sitting there at that moment.

A definite escape from all the darkness and gloom.

I love this shot. it looks like a painting.

I would have been glad to discover that the foul stench was from the "artwork" and not a rotting body.

Maybe the thing above the faucet and soap dish is a place to hang the dish rag?

Would be cool to see side by side shots. One when it was shiny and new and these shots of the decay.

I kept expecting a scary face to pop up everytime I scrolled from side to side.
Great shot.

There's just something so sad about this.

Yikes!

Very cool chairs.

Think about all the DNA lurking around in there.

Lame taggers.

I swear, when I first glanced at this picture straight on I thought I saw a small boy standing near the bottom right window.
But yeah, that isn't happening. hehe
Can you see "him"?

Poor thing.
You can see his original body shape in the "dust" surrounding the bones. :(
I really hope it died of natural causes.

It's Trompe L' Oeil and very nice.
