These are some recent wanderings. One is an old incinerator that most of the DFW folks will recognize. The other is a mill that was closed a while back.

We started out at the incinerator just out of simplicity. We showed up and started taking pictures pretty early. After we went inside, we could hear some people talking. My buddy yelled to let them know we were there. A few seconds later, a couple of terrified photographers poked their heads around the corner to make sure we weren't going to rob them. They were doing a fashion shoot.

Even stepping around them, we had a pretty good time. We got into the base of the stacks and got the pictures we wanted.

The mill still smells like rotted grain so it's a little funky. We wandered around for about 15 minutes when we started hearing voices several floors up. By the time we got up to the second floor, it was obvious someone was living there.

We ran across a bed with a wire spool table by it. My buddy walked into their bathroom before he realized what it was. Always look down, folks. It ain't worth slipping on that particular substance.

We stayed on the lower floors to keep from bothering the residents, even though it was tempting to go check out the other floors. Did a little looking around under the platform and train scale. Even without hitting the upper floors it was pretty good.

some nice shots curious why you don't post them here

I end up posting from my phone most of the time and shrinking them down as much as I have to is a pain. This browser doesn't support flash, so I have to hit the 100K limit. I do shrink some and post them but, when I've got a bunch of them is just simpler to upload to Flickr.

Here are a few of them.

Hey olcripple! I went to your link and saw SO many Awesome photos! Keep up the Good work! Love the Urban Decay gallery too. Cool places and DECAY is everywhere and I LIKE those Shots A lot! Esp. the rotten stairwells

Thanks! I'm still working on learning the camera and composition but, I'm getting there slowly but surely.

I flew into DFW late one night to explore with a friend and went to this ungodly place at around 2:00 a.m. couldn't have been more than two months ago. We could see where someone was living maybe on the 4th floor or so? but they weren't there at the time. We found a crack pipe on the ground near their dwelling though so crack mills is confirmed. On the next floor someone had written with what appeared to be feces on the wall. The staircase felt fine on the way up but later when it was time to come down and I could feel the entire structure wobbling as I looked down into pitch black darkness I wish I had never gone up. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. That being said you got some great pictures. We tried to go to the incinerator on the same trip but there was a patrol car parked in the cul de sac. Anyone that wants to go should park at or near the baseball fields and walk down the train tracks to get there.
