Hat

Larry D

What an amazing, thought provoking shot. It sits, frozen in time, waiting for it's owner to come back. How many sunrises and sunsets has this hat witnessed?

Something to do after finishing your ice cream.

Hello?

Larry D

The Northampton State Hospital galleries were some of your best, Motts.

The benches in this day room looks like a perfect place to eat ice cream.

After my electroshock therapy session, I'd be ready for some ice cream.

Interesting little closet. What was that thing in the floor on the right side?

Electroshock

Larry D

There's a huge hole in the ceiling, yet little debris on the floor. Who cleaned the floor? And why?

A Small Sweater

Larry D

So many questions come to mind when I see an object like this in an abandoned building. How long has it been there? Who dropped it there? Who wore it? Questions that will never be answered.

Timber

Larry D

If a ceiling falls down and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Wired

It's neat the way the radiators are recessed into the walls.

Grid

Spectacular floor. Looks like the sink didn't fare as well.

Heavenly

Larry D

So beautiful. I wonder who climbed those stairs over the decades.

Waves

Larry D

Wow. @nick, the ancient Romans had tile mosaic floors. I betcha this is original to the building.

Central

Larry D

Incredible. Amongst all this rubble and destruction, there sits a beautiful staircase. Old world craftsmanship built that.

Platform

Larry D

Are those marble stairs?

Tipped

Nice detail in the ceiling. It looks like there was a sprinkler system.

Basement

Larry D

I agree with Bill. It looks rather swimming pool-ish.

Block

Larry D

Yes sir. Motts is back. It's time to celebrate. It looks like nature is well on it's way to reclaiming this old beauty. I can't wait to get inside. =8-)

Clean

Cockroaches, ceramic tile, and Cher will survive a nuclear holocaust.

Pair

I would venture to say that the shoe laces are confiscated during in-processing to prevent suicides by hanging.
