	Kristiara Well, the slot in the door would make it seem to be an observation room or something...but wouldn't peeling wood be more dangerous to someone than metal? Think of the splinters! Kris

	Kristiara I'm waiting for Nurse Ratchet to calmly strut through! Oh and i see Bullwinkle in the glass too.

	Kristiara Really great shot! I'll bet someone made a fortune selling these butt ugly tiles to every institution and prison in the country! I think we even saw them in some of the European hospitals Motts visited. Kris

	Kristiara It's beautiful that someone thought to remember those people. That someone cared enough. Now those people are memorialized in a way not many can be. Beautiful.

	Kristiara It's amazing how little time it takes for these buildings to break down on the inside. I mean, within a year most places have tons of peeling paint and ceilings fall down.

	Kristiara Hey, it was a meal to die for! LMAO! Yeah, i thought it was a morgue at first as well. Kris

	Kristiara I guess they were just trying to brighten the place up a bit! LOL! I wonder if its an omen since i'm seeing it for the first time 12 days before christmas! Kris

Kristiara I'm with the majority. As i've said before, I think the paperwork really brings the whole thing into focus. We look at these pictures and see the building and architecture and craftsmanship, which is of course incredible, but sometimes we forget the reason for the building...people. I feel that paperwork, even artwork brings that human element into clarity and we see the place in a much different way. We begin to ask questions like who was this person, why were they there, did they appreciate how beautiful the view is?

	Kristiara Probably a couple of gang people playing target practice, what better place than an abandoned hospital in the middle of the river? There has to be any number of places to hide out should someone hear them. I love the windows, it looks like they are intact and someone just wiped off various spots so you could see the foliage through it. Kinda like a bathroom mirror.

	Kristiara Ah the classic lone chair! In almost every gallery there is at least one lone chair..."Oh boy here comes Motts, chair take your position". Chairs deserve a photo op too! But where is the other classic? Is there a, dare i say it, soap dispenser? I'm holding my breath!

	Kristiara What a gorgeous view!

	Kristiara Why do people feel the need to break the windows?

	Kristiara Man, I haven't been back here for a while now...RL sucks! What a pleasure to come back to so many new galleries! YAY!

Kristiara FINALLY! I've been trying to post the new links i found on the forum...but FYI Motts it's saying there is a database error...but nevermind. I found historic pictures of Kings Park and among them are pictures of York Hall! In it's heyday! www.kingsparkmuseum.com They recently expanded their photo collection and there's old b&w as well as some color...even building blue prints to 93! Yeah, i know...i'm obsessed! Kris

	Kristiara Oh my god. I have two cats, and that just made me very sick. Disturbing isn't the word.

	Kristiara Not to worry Vastarien...just some more clothes in a heap, Motts scares ghosts away. Someone forgot their laundry. Yuk! Its almost like the suits are hanging on and every now and then one falls and ends up on the floor... Then theres 5 little grey suits, hanging in a row...
