Forest Beyond

Forest Beyond

A balcony lies beyond the large windows outside - typical of tuberculosis hospital architecture, as fresh air was considered very therapeutic.

Your B&W is perfect!
Very cool shot, I agree, good choice for B&W.

Apparently the patients were allowed to scold themselves here 
hey everybody, I found a way out! FOLLOW ME!
Fantastic compostion there Motts!! I love the b & w too!
Wheres Lynn ?
This is one location where I prefer the broken windows to intact ones. It adds a whole other element of destroyed beauty.
Fantastic Shot Motts.
scald not scold. in this case it would be burn. to scald is with steam, hot gases or hot liquid. burn as in touching hot surfaces. sorry to be critical but it was driving me crazy.
pic is bad a*s though.
Has Lynne been here yet? Lots of natural necay here. Nice!
I agree, the busted windows work perfectly in this shot!
