Some sections of the hospital were still boarded up leaving many ground floor rooms in darkness.

It's a good door picture and everything, but what got me was the reflection in the window. Very cool.

I've heard of a few hospitals having bowling alleys and pools in their basements...do you ever come across any pools?

Yup, I've seen many bowling alleys! Pools are much less common (and much more dangerous), but some psych hospitals have a recreation building with one (KPPC, Riverside).

Kay, this may sound kinda kooky but I really love shots of old, derelict swimming pools and baths, like the Sutros in San Francisco....Motts, Do you care to photograph that kinda thing? I hate to even ask because your present galleries could not get any more amazing but I just have to ask! I've checked about 10 other galleries but they just frustruate me becasue they're just not set up like Opacity........!

Leigh: I've seen a lot of other UE sites too and I was happy with them, until I accidentally came here... Now, none of them seem to measure up, either in skill of the artist, nor in interactivity...

Thanks, I haven't really photographed any public pools or baths, although I have found a pretty neat pool in a nurse's residence once...

Bah, I missed the pool part altogether! There are some more pool pictures at the Pines Hotel location (should be very near the bottom of the "locations" page) that are good...

Speaking of pools, went looking once for the old pool that i swam in as a kid and was owned by a private residence. The residence was abandoned and the pool was almost completely filled in with anything and everything. Wouldn't have recognized it but saw the blue corners protruding from each end. The pool used to be huge and went up to 8 feet. Made me feel strange standing in the center of it on a mound of dirt. Glad I have pictures of what it USED to look like.

This is a very welcoming shot to me. I don't know why, but this place doesn't seem as desolate.

I am told that many mental facilities has these pools used as therapy for patients. I do not know if the facility I was in had one or not as that place was huge and I was only in one part. Southwestern State Hospital in Thomsville, Georgia was one I was in for two months just this year.
