Awesome shots, thanks for sharing (I think)

I really like how you gave the viewer just a peak behind the door to the gas chamber. Gives it a really eerie feeling.
The last one is nice to. That long long hallway . a feeling of doom

the gas chamber shot is a "killer"

Not even a place I would want to visit....the gas chamber is just a little "chilling"...

Hi Ringo
awesome shots and subject matter i would have love to have been in there-to take photos that is lol!!. I didnt realise that the second was a gas chamber till members mentioned it, not familiar with that kind of execution here in the uk. The last is amazing with the perspective and works brilliantly in B/W, my thing at the moment and i am relating to it.
inspiring mate
thanks for putting them on

Wow, if these walls could talk. The creepy and scary stories they could tell. Your photos speak volumes. Excellent job with these!

Thanks for the wiki link Ringo. Great photos and even more so after I read the wiki info. Very chilling. The gas chamber is a great shot, it grabbed my attention the door open and the angle of the shot. By the way is prison still operating or is now closed?
