Long Island IrishThis is pretty. Reminds me of pictures I've seen from EMS, an old asylum in New Jeresy which isn't there anymore.

Long Island IrishThe color on the other side of the hall--the two toned pink--is nice but I'm not crazy about the shade in the hall. Between that and the drab yellow a few pictures back, ugh.
Why couldn't they have used more baby or virbrant colors for these places? For instance, the baby pink on the other end of the hall is nice. |

Long Island IrishThis is why I'd want other people and a base ball bat with me if I was exploring these places.
That needle could have been left over from the hospital or it could have been used by a junkie who is using the old place as his new house and wouldn't be very happy about explorers coming around. |

Long Island IrishI must look this up. Was there any special reason this ward had the worst repuation? For instance, what kind of patients were in here that made the staff think they could abuse them? Were they people who maybe couldn't speak well and report the abuse?
I'm not calling all staff abusive mind you (from the opening paragraph about this place the nurses in training sounded like very kind and caring people) just some. |

Long Island IrishUm, this may sound stupid but how could a hospital close for the holidays? If the patients lived there some staff had to be there surely.
Btw, fantastic shot Motts, I wonder how long that snowflake has been there. |

Long Island IrishThat is so eye appealing. The red just draws my eyes to it, how unusual. I have never seen red lights frames before. Uusually they are white.

Long Island IrishHi Lynne,
Echolalic? I've never heard of that before, how interesting. You should really write a book about your life, seriously! You care so much for these people and have had so many experiences. I think if you kind of "opened the door" and showed outsiders that most of these people are completely harmless many people would gain a better understanding. I've learned tons from reading your posts. I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. :-) |

Long Island IrishI too love the poem Twug and I agree with both Janice and Lynne. This place is both breathtaking and the resting place of some very important people.

Long Island IrishA casket inside a casket? Interesting idea. I really like the outside of this one though. I wonder how old it is.

Long Island IrishThat is beautiful Motts. Look at the almost velvet look of one of the coffins on the lower right.
