After nearly a year away from Northern State Hospital, I decided to make a trip yesterday. Has it been a year? Wow, time flies. David and I used to go there all the time with our cameras (or, rather his cameras) while I was learning to use a DSLR. The dilapidated buildings make great material!
Since we first started visiting, the site has become really popular – not that either of us can necessarily take credit for that. But, there’s a lot more graffiti than there used to be, and more visitors – more photographers running around with their cameras. Yesterday, there was a group of about 20 boys running around shooting each other with rubber bullets.
I miss how peaceful it used to be.
Anyway, I focused on a more quiet area yesterday and got a couple of shots from an old apple tree I found last year.
