...or something like that, I don't know. This is again very miscellaneous collection from my latest UE-adventures. First... few shots from water powered sawmill:



Crash Site:





Broken Belt:





Wings of Rust:







And then another from same trip. I remember that I have drive few times by this, but never stop. Now I did...



Clouds Were Gathering:





Wide View, Framed:





Listening Rain:





Warmness did change to Emptiness:





House and Clouds:







And then... I did return to this factory area. Again there were bit less to see, tales tell that somebody did drop there and get injured quite badly, but I don't know if it's true. It could be, there were new fence around one building. No more photos from those beautiful cast iron stairs.

Anyway, one building that were sealed for many years... there were one window open. I did check it and decide to photo other places first and thing should I or should I not, that window were quite high from inside. After few hours I did think that hell, if I don't check it then I will think forever why I didn't check it. There were plank and I did tought that at least with that I will be able to get up from there.

It was "the Moment" when I did realise while dropping that window were higher than I did tought - it's lower side were almost as high as my hands lifted straight up. That was my first "am I stuck" feel ever. No need to say that plank were stuck under some heavy machine... But I did find small barrel; with that I did get up from there after photographing. And what comes to that building, it were dull. How can time change memory so much? Not pictures from that building in this post...



Structures and Shadows:





Waves:





Morning Light Love:





Forgotten Scene:





Sifted Light:





The Hall:





Birches Over:





Steam-Punk Castles:







And last one comes from today. I did find by Google hint of small and abandoned cemetary in the center of small village. Of course I did have to go check it... and it was small, but really beautiful time machine. Old cemetaries... pure Style even for antireligious guy like me.



Love and Death:





Honourable Householder (at Age of 28):





Old Shape:





Hidden Stone:





Let the Children Come:





...to Their Death:





130 Years Since Day o' Sorrow:





Leafs and Rust:





This Dreamlike Boneyard:







-----




So that was abandoned part, now there is only one thing left: that magical, long waited (or hated) extra-off-topic-bonus-picture! It comes from yesterday evening: HD on the road:

Gorgeous. I love the shapes you picked out in a lot of these, and the details you chose to focus on. The cemetery is a special gem. I know there are tiny pioneer cemeteries decaying all over my state, I should get out to more of them soon.

Great stuff. Question– Did you do a Text-rearranging program on those first two gravestones or were they just in some language?

Excuse my ignorance.

Fantastic work!

Clouds Were Gathering has a brilliant atmosphere that really makes that building seem like it is on a journey.

I like all the industrial stuff too, awesome composition and colour, Steampunk Castles is wicked, the framing couldn't be better.

Always enjoy your Pictures.
Fantastic work as usual.
Really liked Listening Rain and Waves.
Sadly graveyard photos have never spoken to me.
Love the bonus shot!
Great work.

Thanks for making my day; I've been suffering god damned migraine headache since morning and now I try to get rid of it with beer. This is kind of comment that did make this day much better, so thank you very much! ^^

Thanks - it really was nice moment; of course light did move and slowly fade away, but it did last maybe for 10 minutes. Bells were ringing for train pass by... it was Moment.

I'm quite speechless (and very happy about it), so thank you! And go to those cemetaries (and remember to sent me message when photos can be seen).

"House and Clouds" and "Sifted Light" are both amazing shots!


Thanks. I really did enjoy that House and clouds place (too); it was quite... well, who knows what to see those dark thunder clouds coming behind that forest, then that rain and wait of it ending in that abandoned house... By the way, my car can be spotted from that "Listening rain" photo, there is reason why I did wait.

Thank you very much, or should I say: kiitoksia niin perkeleesti! xD

Thanks. First were from my head, second were "short version with my bad english" (text is in finnish). Full version with that second could be something like "here rests hounourable householder..." and then name and time of born and death.

Thank you very much! And I must say that I really did like how there were that house on the hill, surrounded by "great wide open fields".

And what comes to that "steampunk castle" photo, it was quite surprise; I've been in that same spot before, but I just don't know how I did find that photo now and not then! But it's magic of photographing, light is different and so on... you can find photo from there were there wasn't it before. And it feels always so damned fine!

Thank you very much! And hey, there ain't right or wrong what comes to like or not like; photo that somebody thinks it is great, is with somebody elses eyes pure shit - and both are right. It's good to remember (and same fits almost anything). People like different things, and it's damned good thing. But on saturday evening I like beer and whiskey and my mouth did get dry while enjoying these comments - thanks for all of them! Next whiskey shot goes for all of you.

Props for your interesting perspectives of some very unique headstones. I think the Dreamlike Boneyard shot is my favorite.

This is again comment that makes me kind of speechless. Of course I photograph what I love how I love to, but when someone tells that he/she gets something from those photos... Damned! It's maybe best feel in this world right after good sex and beer (or whiskey or booze) and it gives so much more to this and I must admit that it is one reason to keep hitting my head to brick wall time after time. So I really appreciate it, thank you very much! ^^

(Lession number 1: I really like to answer these comments at saturday night after few pints)

And I'm addicted already. I've been doing some research in internet and find few "could be something" kind of locations... That series may be continue someday, at least I wish so.
