The amount of detail and decoration on these coffins is just amazing.
Very nice work

It took me a minute to notice it, but you can see what looks like a feminine face and hand near the right-hand side of the doorway into the blue room. I can also imagine seeing part of her dress in the little bit of sunlight streaming into the room from the opposite side of the wall.
Tricks of the mind, maybe?

It looks like it would make for a very soft (if itchy) final resting place
Beautiful pictures, as always!

And from then on, there were no more Three Bean Chili Fridays in the hospital cafeteria

Guess he got tired of his old job back at microsoft so he swivled over here to england for a little RnR

Those things look HEAVY! And what could have tipped the one in the very back over on its side like that?

Amazing! Compared to some of the other rooms here, this one's still in great shape, albiet a little messy.
The colors are just beautiful...

Thats a shame. I wonder if there are any pictures elsewhere on the web from when the building was still in use? Maybe we can see what the windows looked like. Im sure they were beautiful...

Beautiful! European architecture is just so amazing

boring wall, cheap tile, and with a sad 70's era attempt at brightening up the surroundings. the rainbow looks just as depressed as most of the inmates must have been. i can see why you shyed away from this part of the facility.

it looks like these floors are tile, so youd be less likely to fall through, i think. this is a beatiful room. im surprised the color has lasted so long. well done

im curious; was this another hydrotherapy tub like at danvers, or just a tub for bathing and stuff?

i know what the reality is, but try telling that to my subconcious. i admire this piece for its aestetic value, and i am aware of what these devices were used for. though it may seem like torture today, its treatments like hydrotherapy that led modern psychology and science to pursue the truth about how the body and the mind works and how to better treat it.
im a lot more historically sensitive to these sort of things than i may come off as at first. i was just expressing my personal thoughts that this particular image generated in me, and it did weird me out slightly.
i browse this place to learn about the historic value of these sites, not fantasize about knife wielding maniacs and insane freaks

yeeps...another blood tub!
what is with me and large amounts of human circulatory fluid spontaniously bursting from inanimate objects...
love ur work!

ive heard a couple legends about this place. like, one of the inhabitants was a devil worshiper and murdered everyone else.
i can believe they've torn everything down! this place was so cool...

*off frame holding a knife over the body of the last photographer to walk in here* uh....this isnt what it looks like!

so many fond memories....YOU PHOT-HOGS GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!! DONT MAKE ME GET THE CHAMBERPOT!!!!
^.=.^

Go buffaloes! kill teh peoples!!!! hee hee hee me likeyes....
your photography is amazing, motts!

it makes you wonder just who the artist was. one of the staff, or even one of the calmer patients trying to hold on to a lost life...if anyone has any info about this plz share.
heh heh gun cat (kudos to Ginsu Victim for making me laugh)

its either blood or the work of a disgruntled fecalpath...or the sign of a VERY hungry wall

0.=.0 now this is something out of a horror movie. just what was this poor individual trying to say?....

"All security and containment personnel, report to violent ward 666 idmediately"
famous last words...^.=.^
this image just brought that into my mind. imagine just who was kept here when the place was running...maybe theyve never left home?...

i can see two figures in the window shadows. they look like scientists or military doctors, like C said.
keeping an eye on "the patient" within...

stick a few gargoyles up on the ceiling and your're set. ^.=.^
this room is amazing!

im half expecting the mad doctor to return from his break any minute now....
