First post and photo

Hello, this is my first post to this group. I am new and still trying to navigate how to be more involved as a member. It took me some time to figure out how to resize and save a photo and then upload it. If the upload is successful, this is a photo from one of my recent explores. I hope it works.

I also hope to be more involved in this group. I've been exploring abandoned structures for just over a year. Prior to that I took pictures of the exteriors of abandoned hospitals that once served people with psychiatric illnesses or developmental disabilities.

I am involved in a couple of different Facebook groups sharing pictures with people who do explores in my geographical area. Locating places to explore is very difficult, no matter what anybody says. I spend a lot of time in research and I'm friendly with three other people. We combine our research and explore, sometimes together. I know that we only come up with a fraction of what it is that we could be seeing.

I don't give out locations outside of that small circle and I embrace the rationale for this. It doesn't mean that everyone who is struggling to find locations is just looking for handouts. And I'm not looking for any hand out in making this post. Google and Google maps have limitations. The more experienced I become, the more effective strategies I develop for finding locations. The search however remains very time consuming

Just sharing my experience. It may be different than others, some may be similar. But what is true is that I've activated quite a passion to explore these abandoned places, capture some of my experience with photos, and share these with other explorers.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome!

Your image works fine, but I'd recommend using an external host like Flickr. This site has a 100kb limit, which is pretty limiting these days. Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions.

The place in your pic looks cool. Lots of natural decay, but no vandalism.

I think marijuana is just nature's way of saying high!

Welcome!




Everyone has a dark side, mines just a little more illuminated.

Welcome!, I never knew there was such a small size factor for images.

Hello,

Thanks to all of you for your welcome and support. I am trying to open an account with Flickr, but having some technical assistance. In the meantime, I hope to further explore the website and to get a bit more active.

Debbie
