I knew something was odd while walking through this building but couldn't quite put my finger on it (I was busy being very impressed with the architecture and light), until I came upon this room. Obviously the place had been swept extensively and very recently.

How odd. The place is peeling, and they are sweeping.

Motts, what about odors in a place like this after so many year?

There's usually a dank, musty, rotting wood odor inside the old buildings; newer facilities can be pretty odorless, or rank with a nasty mold / mildew smell depending on the humidity and ventilation inside. Attics are almost always a dusty-stuffy smell, and laced with a pigeon dropping stink depending on the temperature.

Hospitals often still have the scent of strong disinfectant I like to call a "hospital smell;" it's quite unpleasant but I think I've grown attached to it, for obvious reasons.

it looks like a miniature plasticine model that you can mould.....soft and squidgy.
I'd love to live in a place like this.........

Stunning lighting Motts

How do you always get such good lighting Motts?

You always seem it get the light so soft and moody.

This is another shot that's about the same as one NickSan posted on the forums, but wow the amount of decay has changed dramatically! I wonder how much time was in between the two...

It's almost an MC Escher, where every pathway leads somewhere dimensionally different.

I wonder if they are getting ready to restore it since the floors ahve been swept. They could do a lot with this place

This one feels pleasantly "balanced" to me. Not symetrical, bu balanced. Nice combo of colors, patches of light, curves and straight lines.
