Stairs no more

so there were stairs, albeit somewhat ramshackle and  I only was able to navigate up them once before they became too un stair like to get up em...
now the wood is gone and a shadow remains, imprinted til the building falls I suppose and though that didn't seem imminent 7 years ago now ...it does.

Northern State Hospital Farm 2015

oh dear, it has been awhile since I made a pilgrimage to the farm, things have changed !

Seems Drastic from last visited, hopefully I am not aging quite as badly as this farm.

It's hard to say if people initiated what has occurred, glad I made it before the two roofs had been removed leaving something left without a shadow.

I cried when I walked into it, like my daughter once might have over losing a tower to the dog who figured it was there to be destroyed.

I cried and got it out then photographed and now I am beginning to get that out.... changed pieces of something left to fall apart.

Northern State 2013 visitation

Graffiti seems to get continuously cleaned , doors seem to disappear - further opening insides to outsides and outsides to insides.
Our visit was stilted by the numerous kids shooting plastic pellets as they ran throughout the old dairy facility.
 a couple Frisbee golfers  seemed to be walking around with big knives verging on swords? wasn't sure if they were live action gamers or maybe just slightly antisocial?
they did say hi so I guees that made us feel better. it was a bit busy to be encompassed in the vibe - as senses had to be aware of potential pellets being shot.

Northern State Hospital Farm

 Some Northern State Hospital Re visitation planned possibly for this weekend. I in the meantime revisit the pasts folders of images here and now.
 Some of my favorites of today are here  and I wonder what will be there when we visit?
how much crumble and dilapidation?
how much absence of what was there but a short time ago, things age faster when no one cares, once the cracks get big enough anything can get through.
