One rainy day in November, 2009. On the roll with one of the oldskool explorers, Werner Engelen, visiting oldskool locations.
I had the opportunity during my recent travels to visit the abandoned state psychatric hospital in Norwich Connecticut.
It was, without a doubt, the most intense exploration I have done. It was visually jaw-dropping, physically draining (100 degree heat), and psychologically exhausting due to my vigilance (aka paranoia) about being caught.
Norwich opened in 1904 in a single building. Over the next decades, patient populations grew and new buildings were added. By mid-century, as new structures were added, old ones were simply shuttered and left to stand.
The result is a number of very old buildings in remarkably good condition.
At its height, Norwich State Hospital housed a population of nearly 3,000 people on a roughly 500 acre campus, the size of a small town.
Needless to say, the site is too large to see in one day, but the small part I did see was stunning.
The main focus of the third session of Pangaea is volcanism. Lessons on the first day emphasized types of lavas and volcanoes found across Earth, Mars and the Moon.
ESA’s Pangaea training course prepares astronauts and space engineers to identify planetary geological features for future missions to the Moon, Mars and asteroids.
Leading European planetary geologists share their insights into the geology of the Solar System.
Through Pangaea, Europe is developing operational concepts for surface missions where astronauts and robots work together, among themselves and with scientists and engineers on Earth, using the best field geology and planetary observation techniques.
Stay tuned on the blog

A Hunter Huntsman doll I repainted. He is up for sale on my etsy. Just google MadeleineMai Studio!
I tried to give him a thoughtful, realistic face. I also enjoyed enhancing his well sculpted musculature with blushing and shading. Metallic details have been painstakingly painted on to his accessories. Everything is well sealed and protected.
Includes everything shown, and his stand.
Thanks for looking! Contact me if you have any questions. My email is madeleinemaistudio@gmail.com

"In a transparent dome of plastic, the human Hilde I. Sandvold and thousands of mealworms live side by side. The micro universe is created solely of white foam plastic. Apart from being a huge part of our human throw-away mentality, this kind of plastic also happens to be a nourishment that pleases the ever-hungry mealworms. The potential is born for a new form of symbiosis between species. An organism capable of living from plastic could be the beginning of a new blooming of species on earth."
