This is the old general hospital… / / It was built in 1897 and was home to Newfoundlands first operating room. The hospital has been closed and condemed for many many years now. Rumor has it that many dark and hideous things were done behind its doors, things that are better left forgotten… Only memories are left now that can haunt its dark and terrifying hallways. / / Another view of The Old General: / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /

This photo was taken in a local ruined building, its a fantastic place, great for photography….. I really liked this photo because of the incorporation of the band posters on the wall, a friend and i spent about an hour just looking at the layers and layers of posters on the walls, and my friend even found a poster of his dads old band in one of the rooms from about 30 years ago…

Featured in “The Wild West Show” – June 2009. Rhyolite, Nevada is a ghost town just outside the boundary of Death Valley National Park. It was a town built on gold and the hopes and dreams that the precious metal inspires. Founded in 1904 and abandoned only 15 years later in 1919, it was a very short-lived community.

gravity tries to break you, to wear you down. / it’s so much easier to sink away into oblivion / then to constantly fight, to hold it together / and defy the winds, the rains, the weight / of your own existence, of time itself. / a floor caves in, a fire breaks out, / another day passes and you find yourself / further and further from / where you started and what you envisioned yourself as being. / what goes up must come back down again / but the reverse isn’t true at all. / what goes down often stays there. / it’s hard to imagine why algonquin river state hospital / obstinately resists the inevitable, why it refuses / to acquiesce and with one heaving sigh rejoin the earth, / to let go of its quixotic quest / to remind the world of what it once was, / what it could have and should have been. / no one wants to hear anyway. no one wants / to look at this gaping wound, this real-life parable / that clearly shows in irrefutable terms / that many times the good samaritan never arrives, / that glorious ambitions are sometimes left to bleed out / and rot away, exposed to the elements, without / even the decency of a burial, let alone a memorial. / for a brief time algonquin river state hospital took flight, / bouyed by the belief in the kirkbride ideal, the hope / that society could and would care for those who had been / stricken with some of the most cruel and baffling illnesses ever known, / those diseases that contort the soul, poison the heart and mind, and cripple even geniuses and saints. / think what you will of what came of the way these goals were approached - / this is what happens when those ideals crash back into the ground. / what goes up always comes down. / it’s the simplest law of nature. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—- photo taken at algonquin river state hospital. / more of my work is on www.abandonedamerica.org

sometimes the darkness snuffs out the light / before the day even begins / sometimes a bird dies before it takes flight / sometimes the sickness wins sometimes ideals get crushed by the truth / and the ship sinks before it can sail / sometimes your white knights are proven uncouth / and all of your hard work still fails sometimes your doctors can’t find a cure / and your saints are just hiding their sins / i’ve seen all i can, i can’t take any more / sometimes the sickness wins. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / photo taken at dannelston steel.

In any man who dies there dies with him / his first snow and kiss and fight…. / Not people die but worlds die in them. ~Yevgeny Yevtushenko, “People” photo of isle de las gaviotas’ morgue body tray drawers. / more work is viewable on my site, www.abandonedamerica.org

it used to be that magnificent leviathans / glided across the ocean filled with the gifted and gilded. / they were floating palaces, each one more regal and luxurious than the last. / sooner or later it was all doomed to end; / airlines made intercontinental travel much faster and more affordable / and as it did, one by one the luxury liners from the golden era / passed into oblivion – they are all now at the ocean’s murky bottom / or were scrapped long ago. and thus an age ended, / with only one remnant left. / she sits now in the harbor, her insides gutted and her luster faded, / as though waiting for the crowds to come back, / patiently, for she remembers the laughter, the tinkling wine glasses and toasts. / she was magnificent, full of music and spectacle, / and her pride in this is still evident / even if the new generations have forgotten her. / time has not diminished her poise and dignity / she was the fastest cruise ship ever built and / a hundred feet longer than the titanic. / so look upon her now, while you can. / she is the last of her kind. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— more of my work is available on my website, www.abandonedamerica.org

Sorry for those people who have seen this before or made comment, I had trouble with it not showing in watchlists or groups so have re-loaded it. Many thanks to those who commented in the journal forum on the shot. Image from the recent shoot at the Cellulose Factory, (Old paper mill) between Snuggery and Millicent in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. The mill has not operated for many years but areas are being done up slowly by the new owners for a number of businesses. On a bit of a location scout with Biggzie before the upcoming regional visit by Tony Ryan from melbourne with his workshops. Seems no-ones turned the lights back on for many a year… Shot with a Canon 400D 15-55 lens. Processed in Photoshop CS3. External speedlight used for this shot.

Deserted rooms, creaking doors / distant moon, dimmer shores — / voices whisper from within the walls / hope and gaiety once filled these spaces / now nought does thrive in such / depressive places she waits for the smothering / to leave the room — / eternal doomed to wander through, / no longer with us — / she succumbs to the hypnotic calling / of the fool Moon — / she seeks release, forever blue… _ ~ Common behaviour associated with depression includes moodiness that is out of character increased irritability and frustration finding it hard to take minor personal criticisms spending less time with friends and family loss of interest in food, sex, exercise or other pleasurable activities being awake throughout the night increased alcohol and drug use staying home from work or school increased physical health complaints like fatigue or pain being reckless or taking unnecessary risks (e.g. driving fast or dangerously) slowing down of thoughts and actions _ As a laminated print… There is a 1024×877 size image available here for those who would like to see the detail/textures a little more clearly. Cheers … “Forever Blue” was featured in Dimensions 24 Sept 2009

This is a shot I’ve took in a very creepy location, an abandoned city. This place is very capturing and can truly amaze the visitor. / From this shot you can see how it appears to be a place outside any possible imagination. / Walls are completely ruined and tagged by writers, the nature is growing wildly around, and no signs of human beings all around. / It’s very scary now in the fall, when sun sets so early. This shot is an unique capture and no post production was made.
