Standard black and white:
Spooky, grunged up version:
The two different versions are the result of a few emails over the last few months asking for "spookier" versions of prop photographs. In the past I've refrained from dirtying up photographs because I wanted a very clean, period, real-world look, but I thought this might save folks interested in that look some time.

Why you didn't choose images from the Danvers Asylum hospital (there is a referecence in some HPL novel I think) Danver views being more... horrific (but it's only an "artistic" point of view)

The x footpath is the spooky bit.

Because Danvers Hospital exists in Lovecraft's fictional world. It's mentioned in both "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "Pickman's Model".
Since it was a definite influence I wanted a structure with a similar architectural style, but small enough to make sense as a private facility on the outskirts of a small city like Arkham.
What facility did you end up using? I live in New England and would love to make an expedition to get more photos of the site you chose.
i just set this as the background on my computer.
I think I'd give a major part of my anatomy to be able to visit Arkham Sanitarium. When I move to 1926 . . . . *nods*
Alex: Anyone planning to move to 1926 should definitely be allowed to visit Arkham Sanitarium, for as long as needed.... ;)
But I worry about your willingness to pay with "a major part of [your] anatomy" -- given just how often such a high price is actually paid to visit any Lovecraftian scenario!
So now we've seen three sides of Arkham Sanitarium: east side, south (front), and here the west side.
But left unseen is the north (back).
