Alice exhibits symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, and the Mad Hatter those of both Bipolar disorder and PTSD, Alice in Wonderland is a story so infused with mental illness that both of these characters actually had syndromes named after them...and we thought they were just bedtime stories read by loving parents....

Have you ever been at the edge - the edge that would make a qualitative difference or change, the difference between life and death, sanity or schizophrenia, darkness or light, truth or lies....?
Have you ever contemplated the cliff?
Have you had to live on the edge for some time?
Have you had to make a decision that would throw you over the edge? So dizzy ... but perhaps ... more hopeful.

THE SMALL HAMLET OF WINGDALE, within the town of Dover, New York, is home to the ruins of the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center.
Despite its proximity to New York State Route 22, the stunningly beautiful property has been shrouded in mystery for decades. In 1924, The Harlem Valley State Hospital opened its doors to the public. Later to be renamed the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, the hospital was chartered “for the care and treatment of the insane” and included infrastructure that had previously constituted the Wingdale Prison.
Over the course of 70 years of operation, the facility treated thousands of patients who had been deemed mentally ill. Sprawling across almost 900 acres and encompassing more than 80 buildings, the hospital had its own golf course, bowling alley, baseball field, bakery, and a massive dairy farm that supported an in-house ice cream parlor. At its peak, the facility housed 5,000 patients and 5,000 employees.
Over the years, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center adopted numerous experimental methods of treatment of the mentally ill. In the 1930s, the facility joined several other institutions on the vanguard of a new insulin shock therapy for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia and other compulsive disorders. Later, when the method of electro-shock therapy was created, the hospital was again a pioneer in implementing the method as a treatment for its patients in 1941. When neuropsychiatrist Walter Freeman developed a new method for treating a wide range of psychological conditions that became known as a lobotomy, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center was the preeminent institution for frontal lobotomy in the state of New York.
As with most mental health institutions in New York and across the country, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center saw a gradual decline in enrollment upon the introduction of psychotropic drugs such as thorazine. When the hospital closed its doors in 1994, it had been on a trajectory of decline for a number of years. For the better part of 20 years, the once-busy campus slowly deteriorated. Visited only by night-watchmen and would-be vandals, the buildings sat unused and the grounds slowly grew unkempt. Ghost stories and whispers grew alongside the weeds of the property.

Paranoid schizophrenia of a neuronal network: The Deep Dream Generator!
The software tries to recognize some shapes, already known, an d does it so intensely, that it interprets things that aren't in this picture at all. Its a bit like when you look defocused on random patterns (f.e. a stain) and you "see" suddenly some faces or figures in it. Leonardo da Vinci thaought about that too and made a great (but here a bit too long) quote.
my brother suffers from schizophrenia. i dont post many pictures of him because he always looks so tortured.
If you sometimes feel torn and divided,
do not despair!
Merge your thoughts and feelings with your light, your inner beauty, your heart warmth, your vastness ...
Peace, love and serenity will soon flow through you
and you will feel whole, loving and unlimited ...
And there it is finally. The photo why I climbed the mt. Rauenstein that evening about a week ago.
The sunset with one foot almost over the abyss. Well, it's not quite that dramatic. After all, mt. Rauenstein is one of the smaller mountains in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
But I had to admit that I was a bit worried about my camera. Of course only about that and not about me. The typical schizophrenia of a photographer.
Und da ist es endlich. Das Foto weswegen ich an diesem Abend vor ca. einer Woche auf den Rauenstein gestiegen bin.
Der Sonnenuntergang mit einem Fuß fast über dem Abgrund. Na gut, ganz so dramatisch ist das auch nicht. Schließlich ist der Rauenstein einer der kleineren Berge im Elbsandsteingebirge.
Doch etwas Angst um meine Kamera hatte ich schon, das muss ich zugeben. Natürlich nur um die und nicht um mich. Die typische Schizophrenie eines Fotografen.

The first time that I used Bergger's monobath developer I was somewhat pleased with the results. I don't feel that way anymore.
We as photographers painstakingly pride ourselves on getting every element within our image perfect, with total control of its outcome and how we perceive it in finality.
You can not do this if you have a rouge player with schizophrenia playing wonderful in one game, then acting erratic in another. This is what I found with the Bergger One monobath developer. When the rules are followed, you should, and expect, a predictable outcome.
Of course it could be as simple as a Pokey LaFarge song "Something in the water". Perhaps.

PS, nothing was added to this image. I did remove power lines and some dust spots. Berggers uneven development/fix created the background effects. I do like the looks of the image though, mostly due to the composition.
@2ᴇʟᴡƎ who inspired me to try something. I am not really satisfied by the result, but it was interesting to work on an specific idea.I think that the duality of the human being is a theme particularly difficult to put in image, so it's a crash test !
Well Sydney is rather blue this morning after yesterday's tragic massacre of six people at Bondi.
Sunday, 14th April, 2024.
It has now been revealed that the man who killed six innocent people yesterday at the the Bondi Junction Westfield Shopping Centre was a 40 year old man from Queensland (and not a Sydney resident) and, more significantly, suffered from
schizophrenia, and hated women. Five of his victims were young women.
Schizophrenia is indeed a wicked mental illness that has caused, through history, such terrible grief. Goodness knows how we address it.
Today's view of Sydney is from the Balls Head Reserve, at Waverton (near McMahons Point) captured just after sunset in the 'Blue Hour', on Monday 1st April, 2024. Directly opposite Balls Head is Blues Point and the infamous 'Blues Point Tower'.

If I took this once, then I took it about 50 times ... before I managed a photo that was in focus. Although I was lying on the hill in the garden at a horrible angle to try and get a macro shot with the wind blowing everything around too (other than me)!

Last week I went for a walk around Mont Park for the first time. Mont Park Asylum was a psychiatric hospital and opened in 1912 and closed in the 1990s. It was also known as hospital for the insane. The grounds are now being developed into student accommodation and up market residential homes. They have kept most of the old buildings.
I only found out after my mother’s death that her mother was committed here for Paraphrenia, a type of Schizophrenia. My mother would have been 10 years old when her mother was taken away.
Her name was Elsie May.
I applied for her records and they are difficult reading. She spent several months in the Asylum in 1935 after attempting suicide by drowning, then again in 1937. She was recommitted around 1945 where she remained until her death from a twisted bowel in 1954 at the young age of 51.
I walked around, taking in these old buildings, wondering what her life was like here. From the old records, I don't imagine it was good. It seems she was only visited once in the time she was here with one letter asking for permission to take her for a walk around the grounds.
Did her unstable footsteps echo along the same well worn path where I was walking?
The grounds are adorned with beautiful old Elms and Oak trees. They would have been here when she was a patient 80 years ago though not as large.
I walked up to one of the trees and ran my fingers over its rough bark. I took in the shelter under its large branches as the rain gently fell. I felt their warmth and comfort, I heard the tree whisper.
Did Elsie look at this same tree? Did she feel the bark to remind her that there was life outside of these brick walls? Did she feel its comfort as I did while I wept for a woman I never knew?
When we look at the night sky, we are really looking into the past; the light we see is already old. I felt like this looking at this tree. My gaze matching Elsie’s, connecting me to her through time and space, even though we are light years apart sharing a different moment in time.
Her grave remains unmarked so this is my epitaph to her, my grandmother Elsie May.
