	Paul Surely in a dayroom patients would have stopped by staff should they have scratched the walls?

	Paul The historical side is brilliant. The techical commentarys wonderful..the ohotographs ,fantastic...and the criticism.unwarranted as these are a mans personal views..not finacially driven expose

Paul I have to disagree its far more credible that these old vessels should spend their retirement in each others company rather baeen reduced to razor blades. While the ships and boats still lie here the memories are still quiet vivid...When they are gone..they die...and we tend to forget. I equate ships with living things..they are born the live ..they trans form they grow old..they retire and die. Some of these ain't ready to die yet.

	Paul Go on open it..you know you want to! You won't be happy till you know whats inside......

	Paul Hass the appearance of some type of warship..given the bullring on the bow...the formal standing jack staff..and the Fairleads further along the focs'le. Magnificent photo. Its really can be any ship we want it to be.

	Paul Have a look and see how they break ships in India and the far east. People power like an army of ants crawling ,cutting,hacking,and all the time the great beast is dying...

Location: Staten Island Boat Graveyard  Gallery: Wrecks

	Paul Amazing when one remembers the coplexities involved in ship building and now time and tide have rendered it all but useless. Something really sad about decaying and dying ships.

	Paul I think perhaps the best lone chair shot as of yet on the site - something about its position and colour evoke a feeling of loneliness yet an odd kind of contentment.

Paul Certainly the best one - has a certain disturbing quality to it , given Candances' demeanour blended with the scratched walls, (not to mention the original bed used by a former patient) the image has such a gritty, stark setting which creates a scene of her in solitude and instability. On another level, her wings - symbolising an angelic quality, although seemingly challenged, have a curious interplay with the moon and stars painted on the door...

	Paul Great shot - Whilst capturing the spectacular architecture, the towers and arches assimilate the shape of the parking bays indicated in yellow on the ground, while in general the place seems very alone, the city lights in the background offer a contrast between the famous/infamous asylum now prohibited from human contact and the glow of civilisation seen beyond.

	Paul The mid - tone colour is unique, if a little cold. In addition, it may seem that patients were almost oblivious to the outside world, due to the several barred windows - as if they could aspire to a different environment yet could not go there. A simple yet effective, thought provoking shot.

	Paul Cool.. love the green kinda glow, has the colour of decay..!

Paul Im relatively new to this site after seeing the boat graveyard featured in a magazine here in England, ive been fascinated by all the photos on this site ever since i was old enough to understand what happened at Chernobyl in 1986 and see the photos of the abandoned classrooms and now overgrown playgrounds, i find it heartbreaking that these once great buildings are now left as empty shells but Motts has a God given gift for preserving these sites and long may it continue!

	Paul Great shot, agrees with the eyes, one window for each to focus on; the position is so precise yet one can still imagine the beds on either side with patients suffering from who knows what ,the mood in here must have been something.

	Paul Very apt idea Motts, homing in on the gurney with morbid precision.

Location: Clairvaux Tuberculosis Hospital  Gallery: August Haze

	Paul Deceptively simple - the tonal range and brick - like walls give the image a very cold look. As Motts observes above, the very fact that grates cover the window, securing patients inside, of whom many may have walked these stairs as well as staff over the years is equally as deep as any of Mott's other images, only with a more surfaced look.
