Rather disturbingly, the razor wire on top this 20 feet high wall is not to keep people out, but to keep psychiatric patients IN. It's the outer perimeter wall of the very old Victorian parts of this Hospital , which was my first Derelict Challenge entry and which kicked off my idea to run the challenge in the first place.

Took this before 'dawn' (another miserable cold grey day) and used a blip of flash to pick out some of this peeling white paint and assorted shrubbery. A streetlamp above and right cast a heavy orange brown, so handheld the flash really helped lift both the colour and detail.

Lens is Sigma 20mm f1.8
