Ward

The floors were getting soft in some spots, I predict they will collapse in a few years.

What's interesting is that in recent studies involving color and emotional stimulation that have been done in prisons, pink has been flagged as one of the colors that creates a far more agressive/violent atmosphere.

Looks to be in pretty bad interior shape.

Love the pic. It's so, so, well i dont know what to say but it makes you not want to go thru that hall, like something is going to pop out.

I think this corridor represents more than an empty hallway, to me it looks like a gateway to everyones subconscious a portal into the darkness, the nothingness. Anything could spring from the dark, anything your mind could create. Everything comes from the darkness.

Then again, it could just be a very well done picture of an empty hallway in an abandoned building... but that isn't as romantic.

The coridors of decay that lead nowhere but to a damn good photo. This is what is was all about, they never ended.

I can almost see all the doors slamming one by one as some manifestation appears and walks down the hallway.... Crrating sounds and sights that only could befit this type of architecture...Good imagination here lol

I am not getting a good feeling from this hallway at all. I cannot believe you had the patience to stay here and photograph this whole area. You are to be commended.

I'm sure, the place looked good at one time, when it was built. I imagine those pipes near the ceiling are sprinklers put in, when they upgraded the fire code.

Well I'm sure I'd be depressed if I had to stare at the pink color everyday. It's not really a bad color or anything, just not something I'd ever use. There's the creepy pitch blackness again. I don't think you could pay me to go down that hall alone. Well, you probably could, but it would have to be a lot.

If this is an open ward, I wonder what the doors on either side led to...
nurse station kind of place? stairways? iso room?

I love how its pink on the sides, and then down the hall it's dark and morbid. Thats my room down the hall. 182. (just joking about that....)

a half-outside-the-box creative kind of mind can be a lonely hangout if there's no company.

Motts, have you ever been back to see if the floor did collapse, or see other things?

Yes, I've been back here a few more times; everything seemed the same structurally, albeit more vandalized.
