Inanimates & Animates

Do you see patterns, shapes, even people in nature? This gallery is for you. Even if you don't, there is a world of beauty around you. Rocks, seaweed, aged barn boards have their own slideshow. You only need to "look".

Northern State Hospital in Sedro Woolley is a former mental institution that is now the site of a park. Still standing are the barns and other outbuildings where the patients raised livestock. They are slowly fading into oblivion just like the people who were part of the institution. There is an element of decay and sadness like something that has outlived its usefulness.
