day onehundred thirty 5.10.2010

i went poking around the former Julia Butterfield Memorial Hospital and took some photos of the space. this is from the window in to the former paramedic training institute there. this hospital has been abandoned for years and years, but when nate and i first moved to cold spring 6 years ago, it was still on the maps we had brought with us. nate was rock climbing and got stung on the eyelid by a yellowjacket. my car had a flat tire and nate's car was stickshift, and i don't drive standard. i convinced him to do the driving because according to the maps the hospital was just up the street. when we got there we discovered it was desolate and definitely not a place of healing any more. turns out the hospital is almost a half hour away, and nate had to drive the whole way there and back with one good eye.
