See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.

dont know why, but the varying states of the cisterns and seats on these three toilets reminded me of the three monkeys! Taken in an abandoned mental asylum.

    arkl, you know i hadnt even registered that they didnt have deviders in there, that is very strange. By the looks of the three light switches im guessing they did once upon a time though.

    Cheers for the comments everyone.

    excellent work.. conveys the decay and mortification of an abandoned place, especially one with such a past as a mental asylum..

    Richard,

    This is sad and amazing – Did you bend the toilet on the right ?? Sorry, I am being nosy but I would love to know where this was ??

  • Richard Shepherd

    Richard Shepherd

    palegirl, i never manipulate scenes, i find they are usually strange enough when i arrive without me needing to modifying them. I may manipulate and post process shots when i get home, but the subject matter is always as i found it.

    This shot is from Severalls mental asylum in Colchester.

    If there were three people sitting there at the same time, I guess it would be a case of Take a sheet and pass it along…gosh, what an amazing find! I’ve just started browsing through your work and am truly fascinated by the things you’ve captured. You have a unique style that is both grungy yet incredibly beautiful!

  • Richard Shepherd replied

    Thanks very much Angela, expect more soon as im just back from a 4 day trip round derelicts :)

    This is great – they look like `mad’ toilets! There are too many pictures to comment on, but I really like your work – I love all these derelict & decaying themes – just great textures and so atmospheric.
