Rural Exploration-Alberta

When in the middle of the prairies, your exploration options are a bit limited. However, there is a certain mystique in discovering and exploring the many abandoned farmhouses that dot the landscape.

Exploration is a family affair and on a recent afternoon we managed to explore several locations within an hour’s drive of home.

While I am new to the UER site, we’ve been exploring for several years now. I'm hardly a photography but thought I would share some pics.

Son #1 exploring upstairs of an old farm house. Checking for pigeons before turning the corner.

These stairs were sketchy! We did make it up in the end.

Son #2 exploring the basement of another home.

"Creepy" is all that my daughter had to say on this find.

Actually took this one last winter. Thought it was interesting how the mist rolled on by.

Hope you enjoyed!

Most of my favorite abandonment's are outside the city, I like when there's lots of overgrown vegetation. Bonus if its industrial.

There is certainly a rustic charm to exploring out in the boonies. Enjoyed your pics on Flickr germ. Inspired to get some industrial shots, good opportunities out my way!

So modest, these country boys. #8 particularly thoughtful.

Is # 19 taken with a Holga?

No. My daughter set our point and click digital camera to the "Magic" setting. I didn't know it at the time!
