Chemical Warfare (and a flashlight)

I had my eye on this place for a little while, and I finally made it in. This building is part of a large factory complex with a complicated and dirty history. From what I can tell, the factory dates back to 1942. It looks MUCH older inside. Perhaps propellant chemicals also propel the age appearance of a location. During its active years, this portion of the factory produced components for rocket fuel, titanium, manganese dioxides and various perchlorates, among many other heavy-hitting chemicals. Don't worry, they made sure to share plenty of the perchlorates with the nearby local water sources. As much as I would love to see what this place looks like during the day, the chances of that happening are pretty slim. Here's a peak into what I did see.

1.

2.

3.



4.

5.



I met the Lord of the Grime



6.




At one point, after my eyes started to adjust, I realized that 60% of what I was standing on was made of animal bones.


7.



8.

9.



there were parts and pieces everywhere



10.



11.










As a tangent, I have a compulsive need to climb things.......even when they look like THIS ((yikes))

12.



In this case, the vantage point was worth it.

13.



((insert something deeply penetrating and thoughtful here as a closing sentence))

14.

What a wonderful set of dark, moody, industrial decay. I love the last photo too, that's great!

I like this!




When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.
