Zenith

My first ever urbex mission was to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of downtown Chicago. The POE was obvious and was a very easy entry. I went with two friends, both of which had been there previously and knew their general way around the massive building. I remember upon entry, I was dumbfounded of the odd beauty that I found in the detrimentally decaying building. We walked around, taking pictures with our iPhones (did my first explore without my DSLR, still regret that decision) and admiring the really cool architecture and artifacts that were left behind. Although I can't find much information about this building online, I could tell it was the home of at least 6 major businesses. If I was good at estimating, I would attempt to guess the size of the building, but I'm not good at estimating lol. Anyways, after exploring the main area we went up to the roof. After walking for a bit, I felt my first sensation of the unstable ground underneath me falling through. I was on this walkway on the roof and I looked right next to me and saw a 30 foot drop down into some rusty pipes. Not fun. Before we left, we decided to climb the 50 foot tall water tower that was on the roof. It gave a beautiful view of the skyline of Chicago and it was a great way to end the night.
