Newer Lier sets:
Second Lier visit - more decay shots in color
Third visit - fewer better shots
Parts of Lier Psychiatric Hospital was closed in 1986 and are still abandoned. It is located outside Oslo in Norway.
Here the doctors tested new medicins and ways to help the patients. Lobotomy, electroshock and drugs like LSD was used.
It's a spooky place with a very interesting history.
More info (in norwegian) and pictures in colors on my blog.

Here a picture of my lovely friend Chaplin, a ginger male cat. We love each other. I took this picture at the time I had to feed him during one month, his owner was in the USA!
The old Lier Mental Hospital was abandoned in 1986 and still is.
We arrived at 04:00 in the morning, and hoped that we would avoid meeting the local kids who sometimes uses this place to drink, look for ghosts and scare each other. We had some peaceful but also scary hours inside the abandoned building, all alone, or at least we liked to believe that we were alone.
The rumor says that the staff at Lier Mental Hospital tested new medicines, lobotomy, electroshocks and drugs like LSD on the patients. During the years 1941 to 1981 it is estimated that more than 3000 people were lobotomized in Norway, many of theme right here in this building.
Thanks to Ansgar Valbø for joining me on this trip and sharing tips and advice during the shoot and processing.

When we were at the zoo, there was also a cute baby dwarf hippo, and we had to take pictures of her! Sadly it was quite dark inside...
Lier (French: Lierre) is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Antwerp. The municipality comprises the city of Lier proper and the village of Koningshooikt.
All of these convention centers have banks of little conference rooms buried deep in side hallways. After the Stan Lee interview, the hallway was packed with staff, assistants, and people who had apparently overheard something and were just sort of hanging around, hoping to get a genuine Glimpse...or perhaps even people who were told "Well, perhaps Stan can give you a minute while he walks from his 10:00 commitment to his 10:45..."
It was almost like a perp walk.

Lier Psychiatric Hospital, formerly known as Lier Asylum, is a large facility in Buskerud, Norway. Opened in 1926, it's six patient blocks were intended to become one of the leading institutions curing and housing mental patients. At it's most, almost 700 patients were held here.
Although many were cured, the hospital is renowned for their experimental use of electroshock, lobotomy, and LSD. In 1992, documents revealed a number of 373 patients having been lobotomized in the period of 1941 to 1959 alone.
In 1986, most of the buildings were closed due to downsizing and the use of newer facilities in Drammen, but there's still some activity left on the premises.
After several years of discussion, money has been granted to remove the old, worn down buildings. I hope I'll be able to go back there at least once more before they are demolished.
The pictures in this set are from building D.
Another wall infested with green ivy, this time in Lund though. The window along with the wall belongs to one of the numerous buildings belonging to the university.
