Glad to see you checking out the other forums, I figured I'd stop by here and show off some of my favorites...I have about 6000 pics on my computer in my exploring file (which I named 'Abandonment Issues' so it was hard to narrow it down...but here we go!
1. This is an old chapel from my first true explore at a defunct amusement park that my family used to go to when it was active. At 13, I was married (til sundown) to one of the park's character actresses.
2. The old waterslide and duck boat pond, with one lonely boat out there.
3. An Olympic sized pool and the grandstand at an abandoned park...not much is left here, but it's a cool place to check out.
4. Another park...unfortunately, I was caught by security ten minutes after taking this shot, and didn't see much of the place. At least the guy was cool about it, and just asked me to leave.
5. Some machinery at an old textile mill.
6. A loom (I think) at the same mill.
7. My first hospital, now demolished...I'm in the maternity/nursery area here.
8. Kind of a grainy shot, but that same hospital.
9. I was in an old school here...
10. And here; the vine and the peely paint made for a good shot.
11. I think this place was an old factory outlet store.
12. Grainy and off center, but this window was pretty sweet looking!
13. The boilers in an old nursing care facility.
14. And upstairs...dig that old wallpaper!
15. My favoritest asylum explore! Sunrise coming into the pink room.
16. Same place...the door to a 'quiet room'.
17. More sunlight (in a holey staircase).
18. Sweet decay...
19. Some more of the patient rooms.
20. This was another cool hospital, lots to see here.
21. Either the chapel, or the kitchen...
22. And yet another asylum...
23. With patient rooms.
24. This colorful area was in another mill I explored last summer.
25. Took awhile, but I found the HUGE boiler.
26. My first morgue! This particular explore was probably my favorite (or at least in the top 3).
27. Weird cave structure at an old fun park.
28. And a waterwheel.
29. This was taken at a rather large school, it was a neat explore.
30. Who doesn't love an old gym with a warped floor?
31.
My bonus shot; I've explored this location 4 times, and the long drive was worth it each time. While I couldn't get in to this church, it is a major highlight of this nearly dead town. I was happy to have a foggy (and rather crappy) day to get this shot just right...even kinda hides my rather amateurish photography skills! ;)
I hope you enjoy these, good luck, and happy exploring!
