Endless hallway! This one reminds me of Alice falling through the rabbit hole.... I agree with many of ya...they don't build things like this anymore. Just too expensive. Sad :-(.

Love the symmetry. Looks like a painting, almost.

In my opinion, graffiti is the human version of people who have absolutely no class running around marking "their" "territory" like animals, because in their everyday lives as losers, they have nothing better to do. Pathetic, but true.

Kiss and King Diamond

Oh, I had to laugh out loud when I saw this. King Diamond, indeed :-). Looks like my old bedroom in junior high... :-D. I STILL listen to 'em :-). Love the title of this gallery, Motts. How do you FIND so many places to explore????? Wish there were more abandoned things near me that I could check out (without having to go to other countries, but that would be fun, too :-)). Thanks for the new galleries.

Such a shame that almost nothing is built like this anymore :-(.

BEAUTIFUL!!! I will immediately take you up on the wallpaper offered!! Thanks, Motts!! :-). Gorgeous shot. LOVE LOVE LOVE the stepped window and the lack of a standard square landing, and the use of the angled steps instead. Love this :-)

I'm not freaked out by the samples themselves, or by legitimate medical useage in hospitals. I don't even mind the surgery channel, etc... Biology is fascinating. What bothers people, I think, is the fact that the whole T4 thing (which was bad enough), led to many of these "samples", coupled with the fact that what was left of those poor peoples' bodies were left to rot in an abandoned building.

Storage

Again, OK when "handled appropriately", (cleanly stored in a storage room, etc...), but CLEAN THEM OUT when the building is closed (or get it taken care of soon after).

Cubes

nvusofmotts

Hmmmm.... I just think these should be at least disposed of in an appropriate way, not just left to literally rot (not to mention a biohazard). No, I'm sure the people themselves don't mind anymore ( :-l ), but it just does not seem RIGHT to have these just LEFT there instead of being cleared out and taken care of. I understand genuine medical samples for unusual conditions, for purposes of study, but handled appropriately. It just seems disrespectful to just abandon things like that, especially with the circumstances that led to the deaths (which were horrible anyway).

This is the most disturbing gallery I've ever seen here. I don't know what else to say...........

.....(shakes head in speechless awe at the sheer IDEA of "pieces" of so many people just left abandoned out in the open.....). This is sick.

GEEEZZZ!!! It is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE to me that this stuff is just lying around!!!! WTH????? How could they possibly do that???

Viewing Room

omgmcgriddles: You said it before I did. The plastic flowers are depressing :-(. Makes the person's life seem "artificial" or "temporary", or "not really real". This room makes me sad, too.

Pieces

nvusofmotts

If those are HUMAN "pieces", I'm going to loose my lunch..... That can't be!!!!!! It's got to be some pieces of an animal that someone thought would be funny to leave there....

With an open woodwork, traditional, or wrought-iron rail instead of the solid one, this would look nice in a house.

DANG!!!!!!! I spoke too soon about the Baker-Miller !!!!...lol. Again with the community tubs, though......(frowns)..hope there were screens or curtains, at least.

Wow. Can you imagine being one of the little kids being brought up to the front of THIS???? Scary.

Oh!!! Just looked again. Are the stairs ANGLED, or is it just shaddow????? If so, that just upped the "coolness factor" of this :-).

That IS a rather bizarre set of stairs. Wonder why the floor it leads to is only "half-high". Then again, I've seen houses built on the sides of slopes or steep hills that have stairs like that because there's no other way to do it. Hmmm. I like the change from the ordinary, though. Sort of reminds me of the "stairway to the window" shot in the wierd pink bathroom in another gallery....(?).

Shade

nvusofmotts

If you didn't know this was a hospital, a few cafe tables and waiters in white aprons serving breakfast would fit right in, here :-). Love how the shadows on the porch floor seem to be "mirrored" by the vines growing across the ceiling, and I like the choice of B&W over color on this one. Nice shot.
