Those floors look so thin, like they didnt use very thick lumber when they were put there.

take a close look at the middle circle. Everything in it numbers 6. 6 pointed star, 6 pyramid sections made by the inside points of the star, 6 outside circles, 6 smaller inside circles, 6 petal flower, 6 outer cross sections (made up by the "H" inside the circle.. There are 16 outer sections, which is extremely significant in freemasonry. This is a very very interesting room indeed.
And a great pic by the way!

The mural on the wall makes me feel kind of sad somehow, the mural is of "normal" kids looking away from the viewer, I wonder if this picture became a torment to any of the children of Pennhurst.

That round thing on top of the table almost looks like a saw... gives this pic a scary effect.

I kind of like this shot, I like that indented area where the 2 buildings connect and how it has an
archway at the top. Very interesting shot.

I had to come back to this and look again... I don't think that was one of your friends..( unless of course you recognize the face... ) it looks kind of goulish to me - and I agree with Kerry it seems to be coming through the window pane

Do you use a flash? or natrual lighting? (or both)

the pealing paint on the left wall looks like cats sitting on shelves and one hanging upside down from the window....lol.
Its really amazing what you can see in pictures like this. (I wonder what a psychologist would think of my description.. lol)
