A journey can begin with a glance through the window.

Geez, this one is overwhelming... I love the emotion immediately out of it because of the original and impressive framing and that boy prisoner/framed in the window. Please, tell me, is that a real shot/set or a "montage" and you put the boy afterwards ?.... Like out of a movie - once more, I could write a story beginning with this powerful image................... Great shot & shock*

Is the building in fact the institution it looks and feels like?

@grouser: It is an old abandoned hotel :)

The change of scale and perspective is really interesting... it makes me feel a bit dizzy but still admirative ! ;-)

Ghostly, strange, even supernatural kind of image, it's wonderful and perplexing.

Such an incredible ominous feel to this image! Your perspective...looking up as she is looking down is so emotive. Just wow!

Ha, when I saw the thumbnail I saw rows of coffins.
What a surprise to see the full sized image !!

The child in the window is a real nice touch, it gives it that feeling of seeing dead people! ;-)
