Island of the Mad


I feel an unusual and, as it were, inchoate attraction to this former insane asylum (now museum):

San Servolo


Yes, there's something wonderfully dissonant for my head about this image of mental collapse and emotional hysteria in conjunction with beautiful water, evocative daylight, the onlooking "sane" buildings from the shore.
