	Kassie When I was younger, I went to an enrichment program, through the school, and I quite remember the doors to the classrooms looking much like this. This really does remind me of Farringdon.

	Kassie You know, when the pictures of the seclusion rooms were done in the monochromatic black and white, they looked very harsh and dangerous. These ones, being in colour, seem to fetch more of a sympathy from me, truth be told. I can almost imagine a young teenager who had been put there for whatever reason, crying, and reaching a hand out from under the door. Perhaps a nurse on duty would reach out as well, and hold the protruding hand? ...I don't think so.

	Kassie It does, indeed, resemble dried/smeared blood, but don't hold my word to that. If it were to be that, then methinks it would have been cleaned unless it occured after the shut down of this ward. I must admit that I did think of the Poopkid when I first viewed this image. Haha. I just can't help myself sometimes. Perhaps it's a painting which interprets a lighting fixture? I thought perhaps it was some form of corrosion or rust, but the origin point appears to have been applied, rather than from dripping down the wall...

	Kassie I'm still getting that overwhelming sense of being at ease and home. Without a word of a lie, I would like nothing more than to just walk to that chair, sit down and relax. ...Knowing my luck, it would break under me though. Damn corrosion.

	Kassie I enjoy this shot very much. I'm not quite sure why, if it's just the colours, or the fact that this place seems untouched by graffiti...just natural causes of rot...or the colours in these shots, but I must admit that this gallery has been your most relaxing and calming so far, Mr. Motts. I never cease to be impressed. These pictures just feel very much...like I'm at home or something. They are very soothing. Love them.

	Kassie Mr.Motts, I must say, this is one of your most haunting lonely chair shots that I have seen as of yet. The way that it's rotting, and then the condition of the floors and walls all around it are really...it paints an eerie picture. Actually, it quite reminds me of this one desktop I had used for the longest time, called "The Devil's Badroom". Just a thought. ;)

	Kassie It's a little late on the topic now, because of the ruling but couldn't they have used Riverside as a prime example of renovations that work? Or, even this place, for instance. Or did they do it, and it didn't work? Or do we even know?

	Kassie I love the rich tones and colours in this shot. It's kind of funny, before I even read the caption for it, I thought it looked very much like a rainforest...

	Kassie Maybe the barrel contains bulk ammounts of...soap? For the numerous "soap dispensers", of course.

	Kassie I love this title very much. It suites the shot so well. I don't know why, but this looks like it could be a flower in a very corrupted and industrialized version of Alice in Wonderland, yes?

	Kassie I really love the colours in this shot. I especially love the colours on the wall.

	Kassie Dramatic, spooky, and very, very moody! I love it, and I must admit, it reminds me also of that laser room from Resident Evil as well.

	Kassie I must say, the first thing that captured me about this photo is the texture presented. So, so nice!

	Kassie This picture reminds me of a title of a piece of music from the Silent Hill soundtrack. It's called "Clockwork Little Happiness". Beautiful shot, Mr. Motts!

	Kassie Oh dear, Lynne! So true! You could be all, "And that's what will happen if you're not careful! Therefore...be careful. Now...kindly...HELP ME UP!" And, poisonousxbeauty, if there was a rope of some sort, it'd no doubt be rotted through and through, seeing as the floor is no doubt in such a state of disrepair, most likely from water damage. The rotten rope of doom would be no good to anybody, really...not even Indiana Jones, himself.

	Kassie Mmm, the sound of people grinding. :p Haha, sorry, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Anyways... I love the lighting in this picture. Especially on the ceiling of the Gondola ride thingy. Beautiful.

	Kassie Oh. My. Heck. I love this. The lighting, and the subject. This would be my favourite area of this ride for sure!

Location: Rocky Point Amusement Park Gallery: Chaser

	Kassie Wow, that is in really good condition. I'd love to just walk in through the ride and check out what it all looked like! whine, whimper

	Kassie Mr. Motts, as always, you've stirred a form of emotion in myself, but this time, it's an odder one. One of recollection, seeing as this shot, for some reason reminds me quite a bit of the old school in which I used to take Enrichment (Gifted Learners, Intellects Annonymous) Courses at. The door frame style, trim and everything!

	Kassie Mr. Motts, please don't mind this long-ish post, but this picture just made me think of the lyrics to a song. (God Bless Our Dead Marines by Thee Silver Mt. Zion and the Tralala Band.) They put angels in the electric chairs, Straight up angels in the electric chair, They put angels in the electric chair, Straight up angels in the electric chair. And no-one knew, Or no-one cared, But burning stars lit up their hair, And burning stars lit up their hair, And they crawled to heaven on golden stairs.

And burning stars lit up their hair,

	Kassie Puddleboy, no offense, but are you kidding? Commercializing something like this is a deadly sin. A mall?! Really, come now. It's bad enough they want to "renovate" (rhymes with Mutilate) these buildings for the use of apartments and the like.

	Kassie Oh my, it looks as if somebody took a pair of scissors to the curtains and hacked a chunk right outta' them!

Location: Danvers State Hospital Gallery: Dreary Skies

	Kassie Hey, I may be wrong, but is that not the chair that we all agreed had a face to it before?

Location: Danvers State Hospital Gallery: Dreary Skies

	Kassie Motts, once again, you've done it again. You've found a way to get me completely entranced with Danvers all over again. These picture therapy rooms have always held a certain spell over me, something so entrancing about it. Beautiful.

	Kassie Mr. Motts, it's shots like these that truly entrance me.
