“Guards watch over the ghosts” is a beautiful phrase. It defines the story that your haunting image
implies.

Best regards from Texas

just if it interests you. I liked the somehow weird atmosphere.

I love the shadows and lights, the left side with the empty big windows remind me of some greek antique city remnants which makes me think: has it always been like that?

Time waits for no one and just like some old buildings here in my little town, I'm sure ghosts from the past cry out from the weather-beaten exterior and I can't help but wonder what the yellowing wallpaper of yesteryear would have to say, were it able to speak. It seems that the beautiful architecture of days gone by has gone the way of the economy...right down the crapper. <br/><br/>Those old buildings are replete with photographic opportunities both inside and out. I was able to photograph a model inside an old, abandoned and severely dilapidated building and I really loved the juxtaposition of her soft form as it contrasted with the rough timbers, broken glass, filthy walls, and rundown walls and floors. I'll have to see if I can find those photos again; another walk down memory lane.<br/><br/>Good day!<br/><br/>Mike Hi Peter,

It would be interesting to see a “then and now” rendition of the hospital. Time waits for no one and just like some old buildings here in my little town, I’m sure ghosts from the past cry out from the weather-beaten exterior and I can’t help but wonder what the yellowing wallpaper of yesteryear would have to say, were it able to speak. It seems that the beautiful architecture of days gone by has gone the way of the economy…right down the crapper.

Those old buildings are replete with photographic opportunities both inside and out. I was able to photograph a model inside an old, abandoned and severely dilapidated building and I really loved the juxtaposition of her soft form as it contrasted with the rough timbers, broken glass, filthy walls, and rundown walls and floors. I’ll have to see if I can find those photos again; another walk down memory lane.

Good day!

Mike
