This is my first of I hope many posts on this site. While out scouting for photo shoot locations I came across this abandoned oil refinery. Here are a few of my pictures of it. Hope to have more pictures of it soon to post.

Welcome to The UER.
I think the girl in that last pic is looking for her clothes.

Hahahaha the funny thing was I just asked her to go topless and run around a bit while I shoot and she is like pfffft I am getting naked...

Who am I to complain?....

Thank you for the compliments on my pic's. That was just a quick scouting side trip on our way back from shooting another location. We will be back to use it as a shoot location in the not so distant future and hope to have more good pics of it.

Also, welcome to the boards!

Great location.

Do you know any details about its history? When it was built? When it was closed down?

I was just there a couple weeks ago! I was up in Ojai to see Dark Star Orchestra and stopped at the refinery on the way home. Phenomenal, huge place. There was a car an a van parked in the little parking lot near the large white building the entire 2 or 3 hours I was there. Thankfully I noticed them right away, so I was able to stay out of their lines of sight.

It looks so different now that those huge cylinders aren't there anymore. Thanks for sharing!

If you're going back, be careful, there used to be an active meth lab new the front of the property and so the cops like patrol regularly. Trust me on the last one!
