The marks in the foreground of this photograph are scratch marks in the door.
Willow Court is is an asylum that was abandoned in the year 2000. Like the Royal Derwent, it is also in the town of New Norfolk. However, this part of the large complex is much older and dates back to 1827. For information on the interesting history of Willow Court, follow this link:

Photography is my ‘passion’. I studied it in years 11 and 12, where I learned how to processes films in the dark room. Since then, my photography was restricted to digital compacts until I was able to afford an DSLR in 2010.
Until recently I had been doing a PhD in Agricultural Science at the University of Tasmania. I have recently decided that a career in science is not going to make me happy, so I am now studying graphic design.

I love how the walls lead you into the centre with that splash of colour. I like the eerie shadow/reflection on the wall. This has a real story to tell, well captured :)
Thank you so much :)

you do very nice work. My wife’s aunt spent most of her life in one of the centres at New Norfolk, all because her brain was oxygen starved at birth.
That is really sad Geof :(
You definitely capture the erie feeling here…
Nice work!
