Not quite sure where I'm going with this one, so I hope someone will run with it.
This photo was taken at a derelict psychiatric hospital just a few miles from my home. It's now gone and rather grand private houses have replaced it.
My son took the photo and I remember the eerie silence as we walked round the grounds. I also felt the sadness and thought of the stories the place held.
Please write whatever comes to mind or heart.
