Well it does appear that there is some paperwork on those clip boards and the papers haning off the one on the top but I'm sure you couldn't read anything on there now. Lots of rust and paint thats for sure......wow.....

Yeah those are some strange colors there. The light coming through the windows where the pink is really nice. It really lights up that space alot....considering at night with no light (other than the Moon that is) how dark those places would be......great shot as always Motts!! Another sad & lonely chair as well....

I love the one chair shots too Motts!! Great as always.....it still looks like a sad lonely chair though......

Yeah I agree it does look like a bathroom not a 'room' for people. Not much privacy here is there. Ugh...that would not be good. Esp if a patient made alot of noise you wouldn't be able to sleep at all......

Motts its great when I see new postings up by you. I also love your web site. You do a great job. I hope someday you publish a book of your photos cause they are awesome .....great way to perserve some history.....cause these places and many others that you have pictured are going away all of the time. Esp at these asylums & hospitals. Its important to not forget the past or we are doomed to repeat it.......thanks again.

Yeah, a caged animal , thats a good description. Really it isn't a life....it is only exsisting. I guess that's what you get when you do evil crimes. I think I'd rather just be dead than be caged like some animal. Exsisting like that isn't worth it. I could say the mental hospitals might be better but than yet not much. (other places that Motts has taken pictures of) but really horrible things happend there too. They were caged as well just for different reasons. Interesting pictures Motts.

Another great shot Motts.....its a shame....that door archway will probably be on the floor sometime? Just a matter of time. But it has lasted this long....wow.....

What beautiful arches.....my Dad used to know someone that used to work in this building when it was the train station back in its day....plus he recalls how beautiful it was.....if I didn't say it before Motts that Youtube video is awesome. Thanks for the pics Motts!! There great!! You never disappoint at all.....

I wonder what this room was used for in its heyday?

Hey TootUncommon: I do realize that its not just Detroit. I only say that cause I live close to Detroit.(suburbs).........but not in Detroit. Of course most Cities have the same issues....it just seems that here we get lots of negative publicity in regards to the shell that the City of Detroit has become....not that its not deserved.....so I guess I'd say a shame to all Cities that just let things go.....but it seems that it will continue to happen.....but it is sad nontheless.....its just a shame really.....to not reuse old buildings for something else....its a crime really.......IMO anyway.....

Location: Michigan Central Station  Gallery: To the Top

blue lamp

I second that......what a total waste of a once beautiful old building......that could've been used wisely.......shame on the City of Detroit for doing this......but most of the downtown is a waste land too.....sad .....such a waste land......I wished you could've gotten pictures of the old Hudsons building before it went to the wrecking ball.....sad I never got to go to that store when it was around either.......

Location: Michigan Central Station  Gallery: To the Top

Cool a Michigan one....its sad that this building was left to rot away. What a total waste. If only when it closed in '88 they had started to refurbish it than.....but after all these yrs left to waste.....look how much it would cost to put it to use....still with that said its still sad & a waste. The documentary you posted Motts was great.....I didn't get to go to the station when it was in use....not that I've ever been in it. I leave that to people like you Motts.....thanks for the pictures. Hope you have more Michigan places sometime......now on to the gallery.......

The picture before this was creepy but the words are even creepier.....interesting & strange all at the sametime.

Like I said in the other thread these are still creepy......I wonder if this person is better? It does make you wonder....?? Questions with no answers really......

I'd say the one in the top left corner is the strangest picture of all of them.....it looks like its from a horror movie or something?

Location: Königin Elisabeth Hospital  Gallery: Trashed

They are a little creppy though....but they do have talent. I wonder 'if' they realized that they had talent? I wonder how long they have been up on the wall??

Yeah that ivy can be destructive though. Its not good when its on a building or home thats in use really. Its strange how the land just takes over these unused places isn't it.....Great pic Motts!!! : )

Alot of tagging in that stairwell....Its strange how the door is still standing up like that.
