it looks like it says 'fear' in the register thing.

Snake

Hey, hope you don't mind, but I used this in my photography assignment. I needed a photo that used the line technique. Full credit was given with a link back to opacity. :)

Motts

It's a sign you were meant to be there ;D

Faded Stripes

Jb

The slanted lines on the wall, and the circle look like maybe something was once there. Like a shelving unit that's been removed, but the outline still remains.

Agreed, very claustrophobic

Death

Jb

That's a fairly detailed skull. It's not the usual standard boring one. It's really cool.

Gate

Jb

The door on the right looks very low.
But it's hard to tell if the doorway was low, of it the arches are high =/

Regrets

Jb

Regrets is an interesting thing to have written on a tombstone.
Did they regret what they did do in life, or what they didn't do?

Dark Skies

This picture is beautiful, and the colours really suit the 'mood' you'd expect.

Excuse me if these happen to be stupid Questions:
1 - If this place is only partially closed down, does that mean there's a part of it NOT falling apart?
2 - What was the point of "shock" therapies?
3 - What was a lobotomy supposed to achieve?

Thanks =)

The Stage

Jb

I love this photo, it's amazing.
It almost looks like the curtain and the snow have been painted/photoshoped.
Although, I know they haven't.

This is really beautiful.

Padded Room

Jb

And Marcus, I'm assuming they were strapped in with their head above water!

Padded Room

Jb

Just wanted to point out if you google "Malone Psychiatric Center"

This gallery is the 2nd result, with this picture as a sub result.

Reading how many comments there are, I understand why!

Chapel

Jb

Just though I'd mention, that link now has a link back to this gallery.
:D

It's sad to see how much the chapel has deteriorated.

Reflection

Jb

Motts, how do you chose fake names for these places? Do you just make them up or what?

This gallery was amazing, definately less creepy than the others. Maybe due to it not being abandoned as long?

Patient Tunnel

Jb

The people really add to this shot.

Do you ever go to these places alone Motts?

Dining Room

Jb

I don't understand why so much gets left behind. It's like they evacuated in an emergency and just never came back.

It's weird!

Inside the Carousel

Jb

Just wanted to point out, in googling 'The Dreamland Park Murders' this page was the 6th result.
4th if you don't include multiple pages of the same site coming up.


Now onto the picture: it's odd to see only the shell of the carousel. It leave behind surprisingly little

Checkered

So what Kristiara's saying is, it's a soap dispenser? =P

I personally think a book would be a bad idea. Think of all the trouble he could get into!
He's not supposed to be in a lot of these places, remember?
Sure, it's a brilliant idea, but I don't want to risk losing him!


Awesome picture btw. It's really amazing to have this picture juxtaposed next to the ones looking down at the street. It doesn't seem like the same place

The Town From Above

Jb

Wow. That close to the town?
That's kind of odd, I usually associate mines with middle of nowhere.

Plastered

Jb

The bed frames surprise me.
The ones in our local jail are a lot less friendly.

Psych Room

Jb

It's interesting that the walls aren't padded, but are hard instead. Maybe they thought if they were stupid enough to beat on the walls they deserved the pain?

Main Hall

Jb

This is amazing. The green is just so stunning!

Revealed

Jb

The way I interpret it, is that these people died there, and it was almost like a white-cross-on-the-side-of-the-road for them

So the carver could remember their friends.

Whoops

Jb

If you were to take this photo to the police or anyone, it might be a good idea to do it anonomously.

Print it out and put it through a mail slot in the middle of the night, with a few background details on it xD
