Might wanna just add a NSFW tag to that.

If youre worried about what she could get from the sewers check the other project there: lying in a pigpen sounds like a great idea! /not

You didn't just do that did you Oz? Finish a paragraph with "Not"?? Oh dear..

I worry for a little more than her sanitation.. Going naked in some of those places looks downright dangerous.. I'd be more worried about being taken as a play thing by some local hoodies..

It is hard to believe that these echoing corridors and abandoned halls were home to hundreds of patients - or that a criss-cross of tree-lined avenues were once roads.

But the haunting quality of these pictures makes it easy to imagine that it was a place of indescribable misery, which one inmate compared to the notorious black hole of Calcutta."

You're welcome. I wonder how they got doctors and nurses to work there, since it's such a depressing place.

Too bad they couldn't open up this place for a photo walk...

More importantly, I see it is all tagged - BARCROFT media, the same crowd so many were calling bad names a while ago.

I looked it up on Google Earth - that place looks friggin' creepy..."Shutter Island".

Interesting and different. I hope she has good medical insurance - not because of what might have happened during the shoots, but also what she might have caught. The piggery shots are not to my taste.
