Weston State Hospital

Just a few exterior shots from today.  It really is an amazing building.

Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum Color Series

A couple of my friends and I went back to take another tour of the old Weston State Hospital in Weston, WV today.  When I got  back I was talking with my step-dad.  He asked what I had done today and when I told him where we had been, he said, "can you imagine the misery that went on in that place?"

The shots I took last week I posted all in b&w.  I thought I'd do color this time.

My great grandfather's pocket watch.

Lilly

Another one from the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.  This room is supposedly where the spirit of a little girl is trapped.  The staff leaves toys for her.  Check out the video.

Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

After we left WVU we stopped at Weston to get something to eat.  After we ate we drove around looking for the old Weston State Hospital, which is now a museum and tourist attraction.  We didn't plan on taking a tour but we lucked out and got in the last 45 minute 1st floor tour of the day.  Pretty interesting stuff.

I shot all these photos in color but got to messing with them and thought they looked better in black and white.  They fit the mood better.

WVU Pumpkin Drop

We went to Morgantown today with my daughters' school for WVU's annual pumpkin drop.  It was held at the 11 story Engineering Sciences building.  There were about 200 pumpkins dropped today.  The object is to construct a container that will keep your pumpkin from busting open after a 100 foot drop.  My daughter's teams container and pumpkin did not survive.  :-(

Monday Evening

I didn't have time to go somewhere more scenic to get a shot of the sunset and the rainbow, so my daughter and I just got up on the roof.

New River Train

Hey, you guys wanna see my video?

Thurmond, WV

After church this morning we went to Cannelton and picked up my daughter's cousin and we all went to Thurmond to watch the New River train come through on it's way back to Huntington.  I ddidn't get any shots of the train but I got a video.  I think I'll put it on youtube then embed it into my blog.
