Seaside Sanatorium 10-24-2012

Visiting Seaside Sanatorium along the Waterford coastline always delivers a striking mix of coastal scenery and eerie history. Built in the 1930s to treat children suffering from tuberculosis, the abandoned medical complex now sits vacant behind security fencing. Standing on the lawn beneath an active sky, the sheer symmetry and architectural footprint felt undeniable.

Rendering the scene in high-contrast black and white strips away distracting color, focusing purely on texture, structural form, and sky. The ultra-wide perspective encompasses the long, symmetrical facade, central steeple, and flanking wings behind the rusted chain-link fence. Deep grey storm clouds add heavy atmosphere over the manicured grass in the foreground.
