| Creeping vines, at the Rockland Psychiatric Center |
This is a series of images I shot during a bus commute to and from New York City. One circuitous route takes riders through the Rockland Psychiatric Center, a facility that has a large abandoned portion of its' campus, most likely due to modern health care cutbacks. Talk about the heebie jeebies! It's a weird scene, man.

| Long shadows, at the Rockland Psychiatric Center. |
Like something out of a horror movie, even in the sunny light of day, there's empty building after empty building. We stopped at the end of one such block, and two riders got on, jabbering nervously about their latest bout of nerves, the more frightening being a skinny, stringy-haired woman with black roots and peroxide hair who reeked of stale smoke. What nightmares these buildings must elicit from some poor soul, brutally tired from a trying nighttime commute home after a long, hard week at work! I hope I captured the haunted feeling of the ghosts of restless spirits past. What a truly creepy place.
