Curved Stairwell

Plain nice! So exciting; what is around the bend!??? That is a very good-looking staircase, and easily walked, too. Low wide steps.

The golden yellow + the blue, such pleasing hues, shades and tints and all the light + shadows x-marking on the floor; it is so good.
The patients saw this, too....

Probably Horsehair.
Feathers and down; expensive. Hair of the Horse; cheap!
Really common for ages.
The pillow stuffed with horsehair is heavy and no fun for pillow-fighting.
We still have a few old mattresses + pillows stuffed with horsehair in the attic, for fun + nostalgic reasons. The are app. 80 yrs.old and have not lost shape or comfort. They always feel warm really fast.

And i think of "X marks the cross" of Northam Manor Psy. Hospital. It is lovely architecture, those double-doors. Makes good-looking rooms.

Just weird! A weird room! Don´t understand how the beds would be placed. To lie in bed looking up at that ceiling would have been uncanny. There are so many windows; 25 ??? Or more? It was a very light room!

Love this picture. It´s like a fantasy! A little tree growing up on the tower is the bestest! Surreal.

A favorite gallery - every picture. End up here a lot.
There is no graffiti anywhere in any of the pictures. Real nice! The light is so soft and all the hues shades and tints so delicate..............

Walled Off

The windows are open all over the place! Even top ones.
So it must have been an instruction with order:
"All windows are to be left opened!"
It must be good, then
Pictures are good. A good gallery.

Arched Windows

Splendid! Perfect light. Well-shaped windows. And those beautiful lamps, two of the so close together. Strange that the lamps are still there. Must have been so pretty once upon a time. Like a lot, indeed! :-)

Solarium

Yes, this is a splendid room; in day-light, with the six windows, and at night with all those pretty lamps with a glass globe spreading a soft light, making butter-colored circles on the ceiling. The ones living there saw it, too, and if affected them. Beauty touches your heart. Good picture i like. Be well.
