I like this shot because it looks like it could've been taken a long time ago, when the hospital was still in use.

I agree. It has a very strong sense of memory, or a flash back.

You're right, there is nothing in this shot to give away the reality of abandonment.

Agreed.. but also, invokes an entrapping sense in the viewer, looking out into the outside world through bars , the interior is equally as subdued as the environment within.. Great photograph.
