Hi all,
I am in some sense new to the hobby (my previous escapades in the home country were
very easy mode). I like industrial machinery and factories. They produce (or, as it may be, once produced) real, tangible products, and there's a lot of romantic appeal in that for someone whose day job is self-referential number shuffling.
Unfortunately, I don't like taking photos. I rarely do it and lack the equipment, skill, and motivation to create something that might awe you, or even earn a passing grade. Nonetheless, I made an effort to take some during my recent trip, just to have something to post here.
I went to a certain abandoned soap factory. The idea, for lack of time to track down a new spot, is shamelessly stolen from NNVVK, who posted about it last year. I tried not to have much overlap: I mostly took pictures inside the main building, which is admittedly more boring. It is being hollowed out: there are heaters running inside, fairly fresh paint and installations, and I heard voices inside (though I steered clear of them, so who's to say they weren't fellow explorers).
The album is here:
