Interesting set. My favorite is the staircase. I love the cracked paint and the shine of the rail

Its the stairway for me to but all are dramatic. Shots of urban decay are very powerful stuff.

Yes, really cool! I'm another in the staircase camp! It's a great shot. Love the decay in it, as well as the wonderful contrast between how light the foreground is, as opposed to the top of the stairs.

What a find. It's always nice to find an abandoned place that hasn't been wrecked by vandals.
I like the way that all three of these shots seem to say, "come, if you dare".

What a wonderful mood of loneliness and abandonment you've captured. Doors, windows and staircases all make such great subjects -- impossible for me to choose a favorite.

Wow. Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. To be honest, I didn't know what to think about the stairwell one, but I threw it in anyway. I am quite often surprised to find that people tend to like pictures that I tend not to, or which I think aren't that great. Neat. Thanks again.

There's a few more on my flickr page, but these are the main ones.
