No doubt I enjoy the photography, got into that more than I thought. Most of all I enjoy meeting other explorers inside the buildings, and sharing stories we have had together.
| |
I love finding books and files.
Also well preserved woodwork is intense.
I get a little warm feeling every time I'm on a rooftop too
| |
i think for me the feeling and knowing of who has touched or used the items i find. the buildings and all of the surfaces hold so much energy.

I had spent two weekends in a row in a major US city with some friends hitting rooftops, drains, and tons of abandonments, but I think the most fun I had was when we accidentally took a wrong turn and drove by a hardware store with a variety of trampolines on sale. It was around 3am and there wasn't a soul in sight. With barely any discussion, we had parked, covered the floodlights with a few articles of clothing, flopped through the locked net things, and jumped until we were out of breath. It was one of the most wonderful unexpected carefree highs I've experienced in a long time.

sounds like an awesome night!

The old architecture...small decorations and details that todays cookie cutter homes never have. Stained glass, crystal doorknobs, intricate woodwork, plasterwork on ceilings.
To think of the craftsmen and women who created such things, long gone.

I would agree except that I expected some degree of adrenaline rush from some of the places Ive visited
my unexpected joy was meeting some really cool people, other explorers, in the real and online..

Very nicely stated
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

Half of the fun for me id figuring out the logistics of everything. Who is going, where I'm gonna park, clothing, other plans. I LOVE over planning expeditions to major locations. It makes everything you see there much more rewarding to know you did all the work to see it. I have also met some really cool people while out places which is always interesting to say the least.
Never waste a day. | |

i hear you on this. planning also insures less ambiguity and allows for more enjoyment of the moment as you know you've conducted due diligence in preparation.

Curiosity, adrenaline, and a few more cerebral reasons/emotions.
In that order, more or less.
To me, even as a kid, it was going on a Mission.
Long before anyone defined or condensed it.
It started with the back alley when I was 3 and long walks on the RR tracks with my grandfather at 5.
I still walk the tracks more then half a century latter and thoroughly enjoy it.
Curiosity is a joy unto itself.

This brought back one of my first childhood memories. When I was 5 years old, we lived in Lubbock, TX. For anyone that doesn't know the layout of Lubbock, just think of a piece of grid paper, like the kind you used for your HS Geometry class. That is what Lubbock looks like. It's literally impossible to get lost there, because all of the street names are in sequence and every block is the same distance from each other. Anyways, my parents gave me one rule that I could never seem to not break (I'm pretty sure this was my first spanking). I was only allowed to go half way around our block without adult supervision. I immediately wanted to know what I was missing on the other half of the block, so naturally, I walked the full block (and got caught of course). Even at 5 years old, this forbidden zone appealed to my curious nature.
I totally forgot about that until I read Blackhawk's comment, lol.
I wandered till the stars went dim. |
