Zofiówka Asylum (Otwock, Poland) was opened in 1908, expanded in 1910 and 1926 and was in operation till 1994. Abandoned in 1998 was since then utterly vandalised. Located in a once- beautiful park is now a mere shadow of its former self, home for paintball players and occasional snappers who know how to find their way in the forest at the outskirts of Otwock.
Even the ghosts of its inmates are long gone.

fantastic detail. Looks really creepy!
POV,detail are excellent
Great shot, the fact that it was an asylum is even creepier!
Like a scene out of Pan’s Labyrinth!
Awesome light, texture and processing.
Many thanks everybody for your kind comments!
Great shot , but can you do me a favour and add some information on the HDR process, things like , handheld or tripod, how many exposures if you have the setting even better, what software was used. That way I can accept into HDR Photography group.
When it’s been added please resubmit it for moderation. and we will add it to the group.
