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 / /
Old Chevrolet in the field with Jane. .... Salvation Jane that is – Patterson’s Curse – great colour to photograph but not so good on the old hives and hay fever though if you have to get up close.
A piece of scrap metal in a random field.
Not sure what this was. It is one of my hells.

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

This was the sign of a chocolate store in Rundle Mall, Adelaide. It had so much nostalgic charm to it, couldn’t help myself. Whenever I see an old chocolate shop, I can’t help but think of Charlie & The Choc Factory. There is a sinister side to that movie, and the original novel too. I wanted that to come through on this. Abandoned and run down, post Willy Wonka, what happens to a place that looks happy, but is in fact, not?
