Was that plant dead or was the ceiling gone so it got water occasionally?

Wow ... I LOVE this shot Motts - I am fairly new to the site and just browsing the archives, you are a spectacular photographer, my favorite pictures have to be the ones with the plant life coming inside like mother nature is reclaiming these sites. Fantastic!

It makes me sad...How many patients sat at that window and peered out, reaching towards the sunlight, longing to break free of that place and be part of the outside world.
