Abandoned Hospital (Part 13)

It is incredible that every time I visit the old hospital, I find it to be a little different.
Not only because there are new graffitis or some more vandalism, but because the world outside has changed - the trees are greener than in the winter, the branches are starting to grow through the windows, and the light outside doesn't look as cold anymore.
So every visit is still really exciting for me and I can't wait to find more small details, new angles and new perspectives.

Abandoned Hospital - In a Different Light

I wanted to try something new, so I visited the former X-Ray-Department of the abandoned clinic for neurosurgery and "decorated" it with some green and yellow glow sticks.
The first results are promising, but I think I have to go for something with more luminosity, especially in the green part. Something that looks like the light is oozing into the room...
But I do like the idea of lighting tunnels and basements with this greenish or yellowish glow. I will definitely try more in this direction.

Abandoned Hospital - The Clinic E. (Part 3)

You can also check out Part 1 and Part 2.

This is the third and final post from my series about the old "Clinic E." in northern Germany.
Near the main hospital building are two auxiliary buildings; one of them was boarded shut really firmly - I suppose that it's used as a toolshed by the neighbours - but the other one was open, so we climbed through an open (more broken) window.
This building was really derelict, almost falling apart with wooden floors that seemed to cave in a little more with every step. This was probably the most dangerous object I have been in yet in terms of the possibility of breaking through the floor and landing on the ground one floor down...
