Reminds me of basement access in hospitals, from the morgues to receiving areas for transport.
Your companions standing there make it all the more eerie - wonderful atmosphere!
Would make a good cover for an album
Hey, if you ever publish a book with your photography, make THIS the cover.....with a very dark title like what my friend calls urban decay exploration....going Into the Abyss of Decay (you can have that one; a simple thanks inside would be enough).
Terrific shot. It's sad & terrifying at the same time.
It reminds me of the tunnel from the Kaiser hospital to the doctor's offices in Oakland, CA.
Who are the people? Are they friends of yours or security people you were dodging, or, dare I say it, ghosts? lol
Just some friends, I wouldn't stick around too long if it was security ;-)
Your hallway/ tunnel shots are by far the best, Motts. And the creepiest!
Of all the places in any mental hospital/prison, its always what is underneath that gets to you. The transport tunnels and service tunnels of any hospital can scare the bejeezus outta you.
This shot looks like the scene in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" where the little aliens are starting to come down out of the ship.
I'm not saying Mr. Motts and crew are aliens,lol, and hope I don't offend, it just struck me funny. I have a weird eye and even weirder sense of humor.
WOW, this is such an amazing picture you managed to get here Mott's, great job!
Mott's: My life has been so haunted by your photos of lives gone by.
awesome photo... its different seeing it in a picture then in real life.. beleive me people the picture still doesnt do justice.. i hated going down there so creepy and freky.. making me get goosbumps just thinking about it
Into the light!
That is such a great shot!! Really creepy tunnel, i can just image all the bodies that were wheeled along that tunnel.
This tunnel reminds me of Waverly Hills Sanatorium (even though I've never been there) and the movie "Death Tunnel" that was shot there. I loved the surroundings seen in the movie and I sure wouldn't say no to visiting it, only thing is that I live on the wrong side of the Atlantic ocean! (Sweden)
The people really add to this shot.

Do you ever go to these places alone Motts?
So..is that your little friends ha ha ha or is it from back in the day? Hold on...nevermind
