I keep waiting for the bad shots, Motts your such a liar, lol.
I don't think Motts can do a "bad" shot!!!
I'd have to agree Ed.
All the outside shots are stunning. When was this facility built? I can't help it, but all the outdoor shots remind me of some foreign countries capital building complex...the centuries old buildings...the architecture....
It was built 1874-1878... the Danvers State Hospital link up top has some historical information and current plans for the site. http://www.opacity.us/site22.htm
ya i need to go up there soon
The lines on these Kirkbride buildings are just stunning. I didn't even know we had one out here (Dixmont) until I saw in the paper that they were blowing out rock and accidentally closed the highway by blowing up the hillside where Dixmont was with "too much explosive" - right out on the highway - closed for a day :-)

I wish I would've known about this stuff earlier.
the shadows on the roof top are really cool. very nice picture
