Boatyard is my favorite ; Somehow there's beauty
in the decay.

Have you looked at Hospital X ? She's creepy in a "Zoinks
Scooby" kind of way.

Thanks, it is rather amazing, yes, and so spooky, surreal. A ghost hospital, mercy, I'd be too spooked to venture in there.

Being in a morgue not my cup of tea.

Once when at former hospital, Bayfront, we took down a body to the morgue late in the evening and were tempted to leave it in the maintenence office next door, so they'd be grteeted in the morning.

OI like the outdoors pics the most, altho I do recall having explored the ruins of an old shack in North Carolina in the woods next to my mombo's apartments. Found old jars, old stove, collapsed and sunken into the earth, spooky even in the morning.
That abandoned hospital is was colossal. and the insane asylum, forgetabout it too sppoooky.

This one is my favorite ...



This is from his Recent Additions: Power Station section.

My dad retired from Pacific Gas & Electric Company, and while starting out in the company - many a time on graveyard shift, he'd bring us (the family) into various, remote substations that he had to work on that night ... and all the old (even back then) office buildings & such.

This picture, with all the vines over the windows ... brought those memories back to surface. There is something (for me) about the "then & now" -- I can recall the then so clearly; along with the now... and this 'you can't go back there again' feeling.

~anyway~ (inner stirrings)

I'm enjoying this site, the photographs.

What's left of an old power plant. Belle Island, Richmond VA.
