saywardstudio My daughter is looking at these photos with me and she thought this picture was a graveyard at first! I could see what she's talking about, with the green moss and tombstone shaped couches! Wouldn't it be nice to have living moss as a carpet, if it stayed green and didn't get slimy? lol :)

	saywardstudio I really like all the crosshatching they have on these old buildings...on the windows and in the brickwork, too. Man, I love gothic windows!!!! Are they going to remove them for resale or are they going to just trash them? That would be such a shame. :(

	saywardstudio Wow, I love this..it's so peaceful and relaxing looking! I like that little grate thing in the wall also, above the Gothic door. And the fern! We have to have the fern! :)

	saywardstudio Just out of curiosity, how big was this room, if you know? It doesn't even look big enough to lay down in or even fit a bed! Strange.

	saywardstudio what an interesting little chair! I like the shape.

	saywardstudio What is that bottle of stuff in the back of the photo? Some sort of medicine? Most of the words are visible but I just can't make them out... ol' blindy here lol! ;P

	saywardstudio Sometimes, usually after a rainstorm close to dark , the sky is this color. You know, when everything seems to be tinted with it? That's what this reminds me of. Awesome. I hope that made sense LOL!!! ;)

	saywardstudio They tore this down?!!?? I agree this is a wonderfully charming piece of architecture. It looks friendly yet upscale. LOL!!! >sigh<

	saywardstudio When I first glanced at this shot I had to do a double take..to me the tub looks like it is floating.There seems to be a lack of shadows under the tub somewhat. Does anyone else see that? LOL

	saywardstudio This is THE strangest chair I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of chairs in my days. Could you imagine if it wasn't a wingback , and that section stuck out like that all the way across the top? LOL You'd be sitting with your head almost between your knees! Delightfully creepy!

	saywardstudio I like the colors and angle of this shot. Everything is very artistic! :)

	saywardstudio What a pretty shade of blue!

	saywardstudio For some reason, maybe it's just me, but these machines seem more futuristic than the 40's-50's. Not these machines in particular, I mean the idea behind them. Who comes up with these ideas? LOL! :)

	saywardstudio Maybe the soap is so old it is sort of 'breaking down' or something. It's really creepy looking, and old too. The jars look sort of like old mayonnaise jars. Anyway..... ;P

	saywardstudio The morgue...everybody's dyin' to get in! Ohhhhhhh! I know, I know!!!! Terrible! LOL!!!! ;P

	saywardstudio The window is closed but it looks like there is a gentle relaxing breeze blowing through.... :)

	saywardstudio The crack in the window looks like a giant spider lol ;)

	saywardstudio Again, this looks like some old town, sort of on the lines of what Celine says. Not that anyone would want to live in a haunted ex sanitarium, but could you imagine the housing problems they could solve? LOL!!! There's a lot of room in those old buildings! I wouldn't want to because of the haunted thing, but, ...well, I was just saying. LOL!!! :D

	saywardstudio You know, this photo looks like it is an ariel shot of an old town or village! LOL! Man these places are big!!! What a shame to lose them! <:( I'd like to have one of those weather vane thingies if they're going to throw them away, tho! ;) What, are they copper?

Location: Danvers State Hospital  Gallery: Tiptoe

	saywardstudio I've been browsing the photos of these places and reading the posts... you're some interesting folks !:) This really sucks, what a neat old, albiet, I suppose, haunted, building. >sigh< Everything was so important at one time, now to be returned to dust. :( This is my first post. Wonderful photography by the way! :)
