Great! I just found the Eastern State Penitentiary web site a month or so ago as well as some web sites with fantastic shots of the place, and I was thinking the same thing!

How incredibly AWESOME this picture is! I absolutely love how it looks. It just is so hauntingly final! This could be one of those photos used in an art class where you have to try and describe what the message of it is. I love this shot!

Is this one of those rooms with the double sided glass where the doctors can watch you, but you can't see them?

The photograph of this window looks like it was taken from a room in the basement floor.

I would hazard a guess and say that the outer portion of this window is one of the so called "storm drains". If these storm drains are not cleaned periodically of the leaves then the rain water will not drain properly into the soil. The rain water will have no where to go except into the basement flooding the rooms and damaging the equipment.

Storm drains actually suck and they are a bitch and a half to clean !

I stared at this picture too long, and started imagining some zombiefied patient woman coming after me through it. I love it!
