Cool. OK, does anyone have an answer for this question? I've wondered this forever. ?..(sorry, not picture related,please excuse my burning curiosity about an irrelevant topic.l). Why do people hang doors with the hinges on the "wrong" side (not against the adjoining, perpendicular wall side), which does not allow the door to open back away from the room itself, to sit flat against the wall? Unless this door opens OUT from this perspective, and there's a wall to the left on the other side of it that necessitates that, , it seems like the doorknob should be on the other side. I've noticed that a lot of houses in England have doors that open INTO the room, initially blocking the view of the room AS you enter, and making you actually walk around the door itself to get into the room ):-S...does that make sense? Why would you hang a door so you have to walk AROUND it to get into the room? Odd. --( OK, just realized that in an asylum, maybe it's to allow the person entering to "block" an disturbed patient if they tried to "make a run for it"....?)

Wow. This could easily have just been a flat wall. Wish people took the time, these days, to make such stuff. All comes down to "time is money", I suppose. Such a shame.

"It is amazing that when some people see something old and beautiful, the first thing they do is throw a rock at or through it."

Geez, is that true :-(. Seems pathetic that people have nothing better to do. Wonder what makes people do that.

Lady Ethereal Beauty: Always interesting what people's takes on these pictures are :-). I am actually MORE creeped out by the "juxtaposition" (how often do we get to use THAT word? .lol :-)) of the cute eyes and the missing mouth and the hole in the noggin. Shudder. I see what you mean from your side, too, though. I'd hate the blacked out eyes. EEEW.

Motts: Perfect title!! :-)

Makes me think of all the people who went there every Sunday. That was their "everyday (week?) existence", and we'll never know them, and they'll never know us. Wonder where they are now, and what they're doing. Now expand that thought to all of the other buildings on this site (or on the planet) and all the people who spent their daily lives at work or living there (also include all the buildings that don't exist anymore, built and gone long before any of us was born), then try to think of the endless number of lives and the sheer Variety of situations and events in those lives, all completely different than every others. Then, just for kicks, expand that to try to imagine every life ever lived, from birth to death, that ever happened in the history of humanity......makes my brain hurt a little.
