I actually had to lie on my stomach to get this one.
Believe me, that attracted some weird looks from people passing by.

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.
If you follow the canal through #Lier #belgium as far north as you can you’ll arrive at ‘het spui’, a 16th century sluice house built to control the amount of water going through the town, or, around the town via the then newly dug connection between the big and small rivers Nete. This is the only remaining building from the second town walls, the old route of which is now ‘de vesten’ park which circles the town, so on foot you can join ‘de vesten’ there and continue your walk.

This guy seemed perfectly content to lie in the sun and occasionally change positions. It was tricky trying to catch him looking my way. He kept his tongue out like this for a long time, reminding me of my cats. And he wasn't right up close to the fence--that's lens compression. For the Monthly Scavenger Hunt group, "Heart of the Lion."
Photo taken in my house in Salt Lake, Kolkata. The background was so varied and light that none of the photos showed the web clearly. This one was somewhat better.

A family of Francois' Langurs high up in the trees on the Malayan tapir island in the Lied Jungle, the world's largest indoor rainforest and a "total immersion experience" at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. I love how this rare species sport wild mohawks.
And it is a rare species. According to a wikipedia:
There has been a dramatic decline in the population size by approximately 85% since [1990], making this species that of very high priority to potential extinction. The total number of wild individuals is unknown, but there are believed to be less than 500 left in Vietnam and 1,400-1,650 in China. There are only about 60 langurs in captivity in North American zoos.
And wikipedia further informs us that the baby's name is GinLu and:
she was was born in the Lied Jungle at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo [in September 2009]. After being rejected by her mother, Lied Jungle keepers worked for several weeks to teach the mother to feed and care for her properly. It was important to have a special holding area for mother and infant for safety, ensuring the family was within sight and smell at all times. Mother and infant needed to be strongly bonded before placing the group together. By October 13, 2009, the entire group was reunited into one holding area.
As wikipedia notes, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo is "nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research." And from the zoo's website:
The major purpose of the Lied Jungle is not only recreation, but education and conservation awareness. Rainforests play a vital role in the quality of life on earth. They are disappearing at the alarming rate of 50-100 acres a minute. That's an area the size of Massachusetts each year.
