It's been a few months since I've been on here regularly. Work, life and computer problems have all had a part in that. I have been out a few times so far this year and got into a couple of good locations. This set is from the last good spot I into last year before I hit a bit of a end of year slump. With a church on the first floor and classrooms on the second this place almost feels like two separate locations. The basement was a social hall, but all that remains down there is a small stage and a Bingo machine. From what little information I could find the school portion went out of use in 1979 and the church itself finally closed it's doors roughly 10 years ago. The building had power and a alarm until quite recently. Due to this the place is currently untouched by vandals, taggers and scrappers. It's just natural decay and beautiful unbroken stained glass. I was lucky enough to be one of the very first explorers inside and although it's not a large place it's right up there with my favorite explores of 2016.
The Eerie Silence of a Forgotten Church
Sugar, you make my soul complete Rapture tastes so sweet
Faith is Crumbling
Unholy Confessions
And I can feel you in my prayer And I will go with you away I'm not a dreamer
We build this bridge, we burn it down This life we live, we only get one
Manual Focus
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell
Playing Hooky
I see you in the morning when you go to school Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work And be like Johnnie-too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool
Anyone up for a game of....10 ball?
There was a farmer who had a dog....

Thank you for your kind words as always The second shot is one of my favorites as well. The first time I went the lighting was perfect. The last two times it's been late in the day and the lighting has not been as ideal.

Awesome set! That second photo with the stained glass is wild. It looks like a disco or something. I especially like the photo of that dusty pool table because of that weird angle you shot it from. It feels like you really wanted to play pool.
