Yee ha!

Poor Santa! =8-o Won't HE be surprised this year!?! :-(
Whooooaaaaaa. Talk about a flashback! I was met by a sight like this in an old house once. To quote Spicoli, "Good thing I had fast reflexes"
I hope the floor you were standing on was stable and not groaning underneath your feet. What a shot! (hey, great place for that new wrought iron spiral staircase, eh? LOL!)
Heh quagmire lol
Kevin, you have done me proud. Good Boy!
Gigadee Gigadee Gigadee!
OK, so am I to assume that the word "quagmire" is somehow related to Family Guy as is the phrase about "Gigadee"?
Glenn Quagmire is Peter Griffin's Perverted, oversexed neighbor.
Once again there is someone peeking down from the rafters BooooWaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
tragedy, but still very beaitiful
It looks like a giant boulder fell through every
floor in this part of the building.
If it is near the main entrance most of the part has fallen apart.
Poor chimney don't look down. Its amazing that its still up there. Great Picture!
aw :o(
I climbed through the left side of that, barely reaching the door running from the police.
Very ironic, the administration is in worse condition than the patient wards.
"FeDz wuz heer" ?
Very, very fantastic shot!! My mouth literally fell open!
This shot is amazing. The fireplace hangs on for dear life!
Right on Jimmy Linldey. Fight the machine and the cops. Have you ever run from the cops Motts? If you ever did please respond.
Sure, but I wouldn't recommend doing it unless your 99% sure you'll be able to escape!
Oh Craaaaaaaap!
Looks like a dude in a Fedora looking down from the ceiling, reminds me of Freddy Kreuger
OUCH!! I give up I'll just go in the front door now! ho,ow,ho,ho
I thought it was surrounded by water, with the first floor window as a reflection. Took me a minute to see a hole.
How does something like this happen without a little help?
This is crazy but awesome!
Motts, I really appreciate the risks you took to obtain this spectacular photo. Seeing a building in this stage of decay from the inside is something rarely seen or photographed.
It gives me vertigo!
