'After 29 Years Oblivion... I Was 3 Days Late'

In my last post I did mention "a place with true life horror story". There were that guy, who's wife did vanish near christmas at 1960. One of their child were sure that father have killed her, but police didn't take it seriously until 1972, when they finally broke oven that were 'remake' by the father at the same time as wife vanish. They did find her mummified body inside of that oven.

Anyway, police couldn't show that father was murderer - there were no signs of violence in her body, so he did live his life to the end at 1986 in that house and of course with that broken oven too (it was never fixed). After he died, house were abandoned. I've been once even photographing few hundred meters from that place, but back then I didn't know actual location. Last autumn I did, and I did also promise to myself that next spring...

And I was three (3) days late. Yes, that house were demolished 3 days before. 29 years it were waiting there, and when I get there... it was gone. So that's all about that true life horror story.

But anyway it wasn't worthless trip. I did find one new and of course there were few already familiar locations on my way. So here we go with first one - I did shoot this one before knowing situation of that house of horror. Air was getting warmer, but it still was bit cold at 9 a clock in the morning.



Still Standing Proud:





Praised Spring Time (at summer nature would have hide this perfectly):





Moskvitch's End:





Echoes from USSR:





Fading Away, Dying Alone:





Stairs and March Morning Light:





Emptiness in Spring Time Chaos:





One Day We All Will Be Gone:







And then I did continue my way... to see remains of that demolished house. No photos from there, but there were more. My next stop was this old friend of mine:



One More Winter Behind:





Broken Glass did Break the Light:





Realtime Reality:





Wondering Why:




High Rooms Going Down Slowly:







And I did continue my trip to another old friend. It's way too far from salvation, but it was equipped with video surveillance signs since my last visit. I did leave it be.

Then there were another friend, one of my many favorite ones, or actually two old farm houses as neighbours. One of them were also gone. Feels that they are dying fast at this spring... but there were one more left. It did crown my day.

I did heard afterwards that there are bit gloomy story in this house too... Last couple who did live there long time ago, did have child. There flows really small river at the side of this place, and that child did drown there. After that parents couldn't live there anymore... so there's story why this were abandoned.



Signs from Different Time:





Once There Were Time Without Motors:





From the Shadow Side:





Let's Swing for the Old Times:





Since Almost Everything Were Gone:





Middays Silence with Scent of Dust:





Claws of Time (Ripping Down Everything):





Last Cup:





All Those Years Behind:





Curse of Gravity:







-----




And today's off-topic-bonus-picture comes from February, when we still did have cold weather and frost and bit mist and light at the riverside:



Thanks for watching.

Yeah, that still sucks my mind. But it wasn't first and obviously not even last "I'm late" location for me.

Thank you very much. ^^

Great stuff. I've learned that you should never wait on a location, it could be demolished without any warning. It's happened to a few places I've wanted to go, but put off until a later date.

Just learned the hard way as well. Very disappointing to drive up to a pile of rubble.

In the one labeled "Wondering why" it looks so surprised to see you. Somewhat unhappy about it, too.

Great set, as usual.

'From the Shadow Side' is the best IMO, but all awesome pictures, thanks for posting

Me too. Somehow it still seems to be easy to repeat that idiotism time after time. Maybe I will someday really learn.

Yeah, that really sucks.
