Katrina, Ya did GREAT!!! Keep them coming. I live in the US and those Brits. can't speek good english either. HA HA HA!!!! Now cool down guys!!! I WAS JUST KIDDING!!!!! I couldn't resist!!!! PLEEZE DON'T HIT ME!!!
As far as the photo goes, among all the decay, this room remains almost prestine. Hummmm
This room must have been for someone, or some activity that was really importaint (the cornesses, ya know they are back in vogue) . Maybe where they took the family members to inform them of the death of a loveone .

"everyone quiet here comes Nurse Rachett"

looks like an oversized swing

Jucy Fruit, Don't feel alone. Regan did the same thing here in the US. Now there is this poor guy who lives down the st. from me who really should be in some kind of a care facility. He scared the crap out of me at 2am. He was just walking the streets. Had to call the cops and they just took him home. They knew who he was and said they had found him all over town, sometimes sleeping on park benches ect. What Was Regan thinking of?????

Looks like they went to a lot of trouble to impress a lot of people. Were there actually that many people considered Insane??? If so, where have all the insane gone?? ???? I realize that the progress drugs has helped some people, once considered insane, cope with life. What I can't understand is that if they had that many insane people back then, why don't we have that many now?? OR DO WE????

So many memories flooding back. Haven't thought of that place or those people in years.

this reminnds me of that British Comedy, As Time Goes By

i'm with Lynne excludiing the biteing. If U can get bitten, you go girl!!!!

sorry but i don't appreciate garffiti in this setting. In my opinion, like that even matters, graffiti has its place, and I appreiate in its place. This is not the place. Sorry, maybe I'm just to old fashoned, on maybe to old.HA!!!!

I am astounded. May I ask, did you feel like you were on Hallowed Ground when you were there? It looks a lot lite a Catholic Chruch in So. Illinois that I've attended. Brings back memories. Great. just great!!!!

It makes me feel like i'm crawling to reach the top ,what appears to be the Chapel at the top, but due to time, I'm withering away just as the surroondings. TTIME MARCHES ON AND WAITS FOR NO MAN!!! (or woman)

love the perspedtive, kind of hate the graffiti but the pic wouldn't be the same without it. Walls are so cold. I hate that sanatary white block thing. it's so cold . Coo Koo.s Nest

I agree, looks to modern. Not your fault, your just the photographer, recording history.

the color contrast is great, as is the angle and the paint peeling.

just think of it, that small window is your only connection to the real world. How pathetic!

It looks so lonely

I see a representation of THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

OH MAN, This is TOO MUCH, JUST TOO MUCH. I love it.

Yeah Grace, I tried to find it. Wish I could have seen it. I love the crosses on each point on this one. The building with the crosses against the sky, great contrast.

AH!!! The colors; the brown and grey of the bricks climbing to the green moss on a grey roof, then the blue of the sky with just a touch of white clouds. Then the vertigo.

Nathan, YES, YES, YES. Thats what I wonder in every piece of Mr. Motts' work. Motts, you are a GREAT ARTIST. DaVinci has nothin' on you. You are a modern day DaVinci with camera in hand.

Stormy, don't feel bad, I missed the gargoyles until it was brought it to attention. Thank you sir. Did anybody notice the itty bitty windows way up top??? Mr. Motts, I can't get any perspective on just how big they were. Can you tell me? Wish you could have gotten into that tower. Just like i'd like to go up to the Torch of the Statue of Liberty. As far as I know, it's only given to a chosen few. Mr. Motts, have you been up there?? Have you thought about documenting it??? It's a national treasure. Agreed, It's not in disrepair but it could be gone in the twinkleing of an eye. Think about it. And with your Photography, like no other!!!! AND WHAT ABOUT ELLIS ISLAND??? For us that can't get there. PLEASE???????????

When I first looked at this, I took a deep breath and said outloud, OH MY GOD. I can say no more.

THE SKY, THE CLOUDS!!! There seems to be a balcoy on that outcrop near the front. Was there?? Also, it looks like this area was added on later?? What do you think, Mr Motts?? Looks like they tried to match it, and they did a good job but, just don't fit.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! There is that SKY again.
