Amazing how this simple photograph could spark such intense, contraversial conversation. A beautiful shot Motts.

This is an amazing shot. I love the focus on the stickers and the great depth of field with the rest of it so out of focus. As usual, painfully jealous!

I know you guys find Byberry cool and scary but it is very real and sad for me. Looking at the pictures makes me want to cry.I use to visit my grandfather there in the 60,s. He was an alcoholic and poor during the depression. Byberry was state funded.He went in during the early 40,s. Our family would go to visit. My Dad would go in and get him and we would go to one of the big fields for a picnic. You are so lucky today that there are rehabs and medicines to help with most problems. May those poor people rest in peace.

I love the contrast in this, and the delicacy of the flowers.

i think all of these pictures of the hotel are a little erie. i live about 15 minutes from the hotel and it's said to be haunted now. i wouldn't doubt it. its so creepy looking, an old run down building on the top of a hill.

There is something disturbing about a logo that is a big yellow "P" (ee) esp if it is near the pool area....

i drove down the driveway last night at about quarter to eleven and it was so scary i had to leave. just after i pulled out i saw a cop car pull in. (perfect timing, huh?) i went back today with two friends to attempt to get inside, just to look, not to do any vandalism or disturb any part of the building in any way, but it was completely boarded up. i want to get inside so badly, just so i can see for myself the true beauty of this magestic building. anyone know a guaranteed way to get in?

That was indeed a seclusion room. Andrew Palmer, who wrote Hell and Back, mentioned these rooms when I interviewed him. The staff would sit on the other side and watch the kids work out their crisis inside the seclusion room. That way the staff didn't get hurt while the kid was in crisis.

THIS is the roof that started caving in while we were on it the other day - not very fun.

We went here on the 23rd, went on the roof and it started to cave in! Suggestion: Be VERY careful, and don't walk on it if it looks like a friggin lake
