	Charlie Motts couldn't have picked a more perfect time to work his camera magic. The snow is what gives these shots that feeling of eternity. Motts has the ability to capture those perfect moments like no other photographer I have seen.

	Charlie Germany is a beautiful country with a lot of history, and the people are wonderful when they are not at war with us. I would love to visit there, especially Dresden.

	Charlie That's some nice graffiti writing. It looks out of place in such a dilapidated room. Very artistic..

	Charlie I think I remember reading about someone getting in trouble for putting some records from Danvers or some other mental hospital on Ebay. for sale. I read so much, and my memory is not what it use to be..

Location: Cliffside Hospital  Gallery: Secret Things

	Charlie Those records should be saved digitally for people doing family research or anyone doing research for a book. The paper records should then be destroyed, for they are expensive to keep in a safe, secure location as you can see here and at other locations.

	Charlie These are some of the best decay photos I have seen. There doesn't seem to be much vandalism, just decay. All alone and decaying, the room that saw so much emotion, joy and laughter, and tears of sadness.

	Charlie Mental patients are people with a disease, and they are all unique people just like each and every one of us. It is sad that such bold language is used for all to see.

	Charlie Lynne, did you take those photos of Mr. Motts with his own camera?

	Charlie Taxpayer's money, not well spent. I love old books, records and old Software. Thanks Mr. Motts..

	Charlie Ahha!! Good ole decay!! To bad they wouldn't preserve the theater.

	Charlie It's nice to see it intact and beautiful. When the power and heat go, and they stop patrolling and windows are broken, a building deteriorates fast.

	Charlie pegasus64 nailed it with his description..

Location: Rathen State Hospital  Gallery: Steam

Charlie I spent about 3 weeks in one of those. The one I was in, I lay on my tummy for 2 hours and they came and put another part on my back and turned me over. took the part I was laying on on my tummy off. After 2 more hours the came back, put the tummy part on me again and turned me over and removed the back part. I went through that every 2 hours for three weeks, Kept me from getting bed sores, though. My back was broken in a coal mine roof fall. That was almost 30 years ago, and I'm sure they still use the Stryker Frame..

	Charlie Man they sure don't build like that now days. Such a shame that such fine old buildings are going to waste. Great shot! Love the way the light pierces the beam construction..

	Charlie This photo and the previous one convey the cold and stillness of death. In a way they seem to make death attractive. Beautiful place to spend eternity. Yes, motts. We need a hardcover book of your art.

	Charlie If only one could hear the story of each person now resting there. There would be so much tragedy, so many heart breaking stories one would hear. In some ways it doesn't seem fair that all is lost, even the memories. Only bones and monuments.

Location: Mount Rose Cemetery  Gallery: Rookery

	Charlie I think the keepers of these cemeteries should right all the fallen stones. Now, only the monuments and crypts distinguish the cemetery from ordinary woods.

	Charlie I wouldn't mind sharing an oak with you, Dawn. lol Must be incredible to be there on a winter's day. The snow just adds to the charm of the place.

	Charlie I would love to live in the old hospital section of Avalon Danvers! Let's hope the ghosts don't scare all the renters away. That would get the building with the old hospital facade torn down. :( Feel free to edit my post Kitty Kat... LOL!
