'Different & interesting for me. The branches seem to provide the context or mood for the abandonment. Knowing the background of mental hospital sorta sends my imagination to unsettled places of Nicholson in 'Cuckoo's Next'.
 
I know a woman who used to work there. Shocking stories. Riverview is huge with several buildings. Some are still in operation. Many TV shows and movies are filmed here daily. The grounds also has an amazing arboretum. It's walking distance from me, which is kind of nice. Thanks for commenting HiHoSilver.
