The Back Wards

The Back Wards

The very end of the building, reserved for the most violent patients, twisted it's way through the blackness.

Can you imagine the hell a day in this place as a patient must have been?

That's some natural sunlight getting into the building... it looks blue because I had the white balance set to a tungsten (orange) light, so that areas lit by flashlight show true color.

That thing at the end of the hallway (with what looks like eyes in a black face) looks like the demon from "Night on Bald Mountain" in Disney's "Fantasia."

So Motts, when you go to these places, I assume you have to bring all your own lighting because it's so dark?

What a magnificent name for an asylum. Gravesend. Almost as good as Hellingsley Asylum. Wouldn't you think someone would have a wee think about that before they hung the shingle out? Bless them...

The original Gravesend is in Kent, East of London, Pocahontas died there & is burried in a church yard in the town.

The name "Gravesend" is a pseudonym for this hospital.

Jesus, help me. That shadow isn't right. At all. It's like a triple exposure with malformed shadow in front AND behind...
