Childrens Asylum and a few extras

Great photos. Where was this place?

My problem with exploring abandoned buildings (aside from finding them), lies not in the idea that I'll get into trouble for being in them, but in the fear that I may fall through a rotting floor or stair case...

That is a very real danger with urban exploration. You need to be keenly aware of your surroundings and never go alone. Stay close to walls and don't walk across the middle of a room. Never "break" in. Never vandalize or take anything. As the campers say: Take only pictures and leave only footprints.

I really like the theater ones, but I LOVE #2.
Pa does really seem like a hotspot for abandoned buildings. There are many around the Pittsburgh area, too. Probably nothing this cool, though.

stunning work indeed, very impressive locations and I like your processing too, it suits the subject perfectly...#2,#3 and the last are my faves from this set.

Phenomenal shots. Some of 'em really do stir an emotional response, and your post processing has really brought out the abandoned, bleak, chilling feel to them. My faves are 2, 3, 5, 6, and 15.

Just out of interest, were you ever charged? And if so, have the charges now been dropped?

And to those inspired by these shots to go out and explore abandoned buildings, read nealjpage's advice (post 17 above). You might also want to make sure someone who's not with you (and your buddy) knows where you were headed, and check in with them once you're safely out.

Naah Bread with peanut butter on it... That would keep the dog busy while you escape! That is if you can stop laughing at the dogs reaction to the peanut butter.. lol

Great stuff man.

I really like the creepiness in the shots.

 

[LostInPa]

thanks for the comments
not all those shots are in pa
Abandoned asylums and all kinds of other places are all over.
You just have to know where to look.
The first few shots are from a state school near philadelphia, pa and the last few are from an asylum in ct.
