@MamaToFiveInPA I think it looks older than that, My Grandfather had A 1918 model T ford with wooden spooked rims that looked just like that and the hospital did open in 1904 might be something the person had owned or wanted?

There was one kid in there i felt so bad for him for what they did to him , I dont know if you know him , pasquale was his name . He was such a good kid and the things that i have witnessed to what they done to him was horriable . I always visited him and told him to stay strong , I was always checking on him thinking that someday i was going to find him dead : ( I can say so much in detail of what i saw but at that time we all were living in fear and couldnt say anything . some day we will be heard. All of us that was in there had no control and we had to shut our mouths . I dont know if you remember this ? I remember there was a day of hell ( which i was a part of) That all the wards

Hey , If you talk to sandy W or Tricia G , tell them that Patrick says hi and i would like to talk to them!!!! I do remember the staff member willie , Sandy always called him pickle ( that was weird lol ) There was three staff members i didnt care for and i thought they were very abusive , one is that short little fuck mike that were the glasses ( worked on ward E) Phil was another one, and Mark that ran the teen center . My opinion and there is enouph evidence for a class action suite for the way they have treated us . IT WAS SICK AND TWISTED

Good rfeence photo for the size of the generators, typical handrails are 32"-36" high, based on 32" they appear to be about 12' tall.

BTW, awesome subject, your shots, as always are incredable!

Meter Box

My apologies i realized after posting that i came off sounding rude, and well i was wrong. The device is a valve positioner it monitors the position of control valve and compares it to the input signal from the pilot valve. Very cool pictures and great site been in this power plant several times and used to work for nissequogue river state park who now owns the property. Keep the great photos coming.

Meter Box

That is technically called a pilot valve, a device used to pneumatically measure and control a regulating valve. The photography is good however.

Everything comes together in perfect harmony.. The colors are so surreal. I especially like the green stripe on the ceiling. my eyes keep wandering to it.. and everytime i look back into the space i am transported into some other terrific new aspect i had not seen. It feels like I am being transported through space and time. It's kind of like a wormhole or a delapidated space ship- lol *D Dittos on the previous comment. I could stare at this for hours.
