Madhouse

From the artist: "This image was taken at an abandonded state hospital for the developmentally disabled. I came across this staircase and as I climbed it I was struck by how worn the stone treads were. Worn down a full inch in places. How many steps would that take? How many feet? How many time...mores? This place was a home to many--probably all some knew as home. I felt honored to be able to photograph it."

At first I just thought this was cool and creepy, but now, having read the artist's own description, I am even more drawn to this photograph. Check out redbubble.com for more. Really a great site.
