love in the asylum

[lapsedmodernist]

welcome to the asylum


a place you could sprain both your elbow and chin


do you dare to stay out? do you dare to go in?


walk down the hall


see the moss


and the ghosts


not to mention the curtains!


housekeeping was here once


this photo is actually an amazingly accurate depiction of what the inside of my mind is like


crosssection


scale


continuing to love the curtains


the golden room


hooks and mold


moss wall


things are melting outside


the blue room


gentler colors sometimes

oh I love these, I'd never seen them before. One of these days I will have to make it over there and find these places for myself...

[sheenabizarre.livejournal.com]

yeah, those are cool. i've passed a bunch of little house all over like that, but never went inside. you should! it appears that someone has now booted up an Abandoned Ireland site, but from what I saw it was fish eye overboard. hope it's not all like that.

1st of all, these are awesome. I'm shocked the curtains held up. I particularly enjoy the mirror and the reflection shots (and the hallway and the very first one).

2nd, and I think I've mentioned this before, I'm insanely jealous (ha ha, no pun intended). I want to go play in abandoned places as cool as this!

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

thanks! and there are cool abandoned places in California...although asylums are more of an East Coast/The South thing in the US.

The one called "and the ghosts"...I love it! I am in awe of these, they are gorgeous and eerie all at the same time. So beautifully done, I love how your mind sees it all and takes us with you!

that is exactly the way I feel about your writing.

Here is Forgotten Detroit (http://www.forgottendetroit.com/). I expect that seeing pictures is nothing like visiting places, of course. Given that many houses in Detroit are going for $16,000 down to $0, there should be many more "forgotten" buildings there soon.

I've seen it, but thank you. And yeah, it's been ahead of the house market implosion curve for years now.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

J'adore.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

merci.

[badmoods.livejournal.com]

wow.. those are lovely!!! i wanna see something like that with my own eyes...

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

there are many beautiful abandoned places in the South...

Crazy how the outside does not look abandoned at all. Is someone still coming to trim the hedges and grass?

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

it's on a campus with a building that still serves some administrative purpose, so the grounds are pretty well-maintained at least in the front. In the back of the building it's a lot more overgrown.

and the ghosts is my favorite from this set, though you have to love the moss wall.

heh...and i see someone else recommended the irish houses. showed up in my feeds the other day.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

the irish houses rocked. just think of what we could do with those with our cameras...

[dfordoom.livejournal.com]

Great photos!

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[revolution-grrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, these are so cool!

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]
