Marvelous composition. Love the arrow on the right (even though it's graffiti)... the perfect touch

Absolutely beautiful ceiling.

EXTRAORDINARY with the contrasts. Dark/light, positive/negative, straight lines and curves... again, what a great eye, Mr. Motts

O, the graininess adds so much to it... these type of shots are my favs...

Where are ya, Eldokid? Hehe...great old machine...

Awesome. Such a great effect with the broken mirror.

Another stunning shot.

...punchied?

Ghosthunters has investigated PH, but only within the past year or so.

INCREDIBLE LIGHTING IN THIS SHOT!!!

sigh

I, too, am glad all viewpoints are being spilled about this place, especially by it's former workers. Thankyou for telling your stories. Again, bad things happen, and it's important to acknowledge them and admit they happened rather than taking such strong personal offense to these particular stories, to those of you in the medical field... and again, don't worry. Most of us outside that field DO realize what you do is important and flat-out heroic. However, we can't let the past so unrecognized. What's that about "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"?

I so agree with Jewelzy... well said.

Tyne, the place is COVERED in decoration! From the mouldings to the rooftops....

This one reminds me of Grey Gardens.....

Quite emotional....

Well, for some, lg, it was not a nice place. Massive class-action lawsuits that are won and succeed in shutting state facilities down don't happen because everything was nice. Bad things do happen, and happened here. It's of utter importance to realize it, admit it, learn from it, and as citizens, not to let it happen again.

So sunny and so dreary at the same time...!

I don't know, Lynne, with all due respect... in the '68 news footage, a boy was asked it he'd prefer riches or leaving Pennhurst. He replied that he'd rather leave.

Thank God at least for tall and airy... knowing how awful the rest of the conditions were here...

...o my...

The black in all the windows in these shots is SO black...vacant... so well shot.

I agree as well. Did any one read the the graffiti in the Haunted House film clip?? A spot on the wall of one of the tunnels says "Opacity.us killed Pennhurst thanks ass"! Wth...?

...fanTAStic...

God, now that's a thought-provoking shot...
