I present you with another fairly basic local location. This one is listed in the public database, and is described as ruins/ partially demolished; compared to the multi-story building that was here and burned down, the remains are kind of saddening. However, I was still able to spend a couple of hours checking out various nooks and crannies spread around the property. When the Public Works facility next door isn't being used, the surroundings are very quiet and serene, with the constant sound of the adjacent stream rushing by.

As for photography, I wanted to emphasize the soft tones and lighting that I saw in real life. It is a pretty interesting place in that sense; the grays of burnt wood and concrete and the reds of rusted metal and brick contrast wonderfully with the lush green undergrowth found throughout.

Hope you enjoy!

Awesome pics! I love how some things like the walls have completely crumbled but in other areas everything's intact.

Another cool little spot man, nice work.

Cool place!

#9, those colors man. Good explore!

Great shots! 27 is my favorite shot.

Thanks everybody! I appreciate the kind words .

I'm definitely glad I took the time to check this place out. I figured it had been totally obliterated by the fire and never thought twice about it until last month, but it's not nearly as boring as I thought it would be.

Looks like a pretty sweet spot. I can think of many worse places to spend a few hours.

That looks really spectacular.
