Skylight

Mounds of pigeon feces were piled everywhere and filled the top floor with that overpowering, sour smell one finds in some of these places.

Yea, Lynne...I think it's the dark door in that outter hallway that makes it so eerie...

I love the play of light and shadow in this one. I'd have been gagging from the smell you describe Motts.....

Sounds nasty, but this is a beautiful shot. Love how it makes one side of the walls on the right side seem skewed. And the texture of what I assume are ceiling tiles on the floor. Very nice.

Great shot Motts, and your description adds the "Smell-a-Vision" touch to our enlightenment.

It looks like a river of tears running down the wall and in turn, casts a sort of underwater reflection to the floor. Plus all the colors are complimentary and make me almost hear the sea crashing outside. =)

Such a powerful image! The lighting is so strong. It is the only thing left that offers movment in such a lonely place. I close my eyes and all i see is that haunting source of the living light.

A patient from nearby private county club Mclean/"Mcmed" psychiatric hospital escaped in the late 80's and had the misfortune of wandering onto the Met State grounds. They held her at Met State temporarily and when she got back to Mclean she said "you know, this place isn't all that bad."
