Not a bad camera technique, I feel rather as if I'm poring at the building, unsure.

The hospital looks worse than before. Like as if its in pain.
That shot through the fence makes me think of a prison, more than a hospital.
It's all gone. The main bldg. and it's axcillary partners have been demolished and turned into a strange litlle grassy knoll. There is no sign that it ever existed and now it a cemetary without a monuement. It saddens me and all the other staff workers who used to worked there,but the grieving has not ceased. Ersatz, ersastz and thats what left. The spirit no longer exists and memorories are no more. I mourn in my old age, but I accept what invevitably has come to be. I hope the little kids are arne't haunted by what has gone before them in there little cofortable apt's, but it would be a nice idea to educate what had happened in the hallowed ground that they now live in. Again, Motts, I salute you for saving such an enviorment that will never happen again, I love you my friend wherewhatever you are doing. My best, my very best to you for your service.
And mine! Eternal thanks... and, it has to be said: oh, the GREED it takes to build on a cemetery!!! No marker, no informing future residents of the new developments... absolutely boils the blood! May those responsible for such disrespect have apartments built on their graves. ..................Ironic, ain't it?? The unsung people who're there to preserve this unsung history, such as you, Motts, are the ones who are considered the invaders. But a corporate "whatsit" can come in and... well, anyway, thankyou again for what you do. A thousand-fold.
Whatever gets built there is going to be very haunted LOL Seriously!
