Brilliant work on this one, my favorite I think I have seen in quite sometime.

Sliding Down to the Unknown

Thorn

This is actually my favorite shot in the lot. Something about not being able to see where it leads, and the whole fact it is an amusement park generally reserved for kids and at that point you have no idea where life will take you. I also love the trees, and the structure in the background is simply amazing. Well done, on both pic and capturing the perfect title.

Portrait

Thorn

The image of the woman is haunting with the seemingly black pools for eyes, the picture is as always very well framed and quite artistic as always great work. Been a while since I was by the have a look glad to see so many updates.

Smoking Area

Thorn

It was funny in a way but there used to be smoking rooms, where you would have a group of disturbed people all huddled together puffing away and one staff member controlling how much you smoked and lighting your cigarettes for you.

If the guy liked you he would give you two of your smokes.

After you were proven not to be a risk or a threat, and you were stable you could smoke outside. It was quite the thrill.

Barriers

Thorn

The perspective here sells this shot and captures the subject perfectly. Very well done, and of course it is a shame it is all lost to us now.

Half

Thorn

Looks like a med room, though these days they have much more secure ways to hand out meds. At least in some facilities that I have seen. Like central stations with small slots to slide meds out and you are separated by glass.

Greta shot, as always.

Secure Facility

Thorn

Forensic area? What goes on there exactly?

Earth

Thorn

I love the over all feeling of the shot, the textures are to die for and professional illustrators would kill for the ability to use them in their work. (can you use kill and die in the same critique without sounding like a creep?)

Displacement

Thorn

I love this shot. What are the "black" lines for across the ceiling. Were they supports for a drop ceiling?

Projector Room Light

Thorn

A really impressive shot. I am taken by the light on the wall, and the rest of the room is like something out a nightmare.

Marks the Spot

wow what an amazing bit of art, and to think if you were not here at that time of day this might not have ever been recorded.

Please note the above "he" should have been "she". Funny though ;)

Basement Hall

Thorn

Nice. It is a cool looking hall, I dig the colors a lot. In this shot it has a creepy feel to it. Which his cool by me. Makes exploring all the more fun. Those who have been there in person are lucky, and I can only hope that the buildings stick around for a while in good shape so that others can explore them as well.

Dreary Courtyard

Thorn

I agree, and natural frame of it implies that it is "locked in" somehow. Resigned to it's fate of decay unable to reverse course. Motts I have not read a biography or anything have you taken classes or are you self taught?

Octagon

Thorn

Well done, it really looks like an ancient castle turret than anything else. I think the angle lends to the sense of power and strength, and the growth implies that it has withstood nature and time. A very nice shot.

Old Stones

Great use of Black and white here, I missed this one the first time I looked through.

Hilltop

Amazing shot, I really love the angle and the composition. Perfect time of your as well, the dead grass gives the image just what it needs.

The Graveyard

They're coming for you Barbara.

Note

Thorn

Seems odd because they are at first asking for rescue, then offering to rescue another. You free me, and I will free you. If someone could free them, why would they need to return the favor.. If you follow my meaning. Open the door and everyone goes free. No need to fetch the police.

Back Down

Thorn

What an amazing shot, I really like this one. Perfect for the last shot as well. It is an end, but implies there is more yet to discover. Setting up a return trip perhaps? Love the colors, and how the dust has collected in the corner.
