Abandoned Places

And here are some photos from Belle Isle (an island in the middle of the James River in Richmond, Va). Great place Belle Isle....besides being lovely and surrounded by water and having a really cool footbridge, it is the home of a former Civil War prison camp, a quarry, a hospital, a dam, and a manufacturing plant. A lot of discarded and abandoned spaces on Belle Isle.

I like this kind of pics!
 
Went to the Tyndall AFB golf course this morning. The course was closed in 2013 due to funding issues.

I would have liked to have my tripod and a computer with processing software. I used Flickr's.

No idea what this was but it is in the middle of an old abandoned cranberry bog. Maybe a pump house of some sort.



 
This is the Bibb Mill that was constructed in 1900 and operational by 1902. It was over a 1/4 mile long and had 5 floors in it. It operated until March 20,1998. It mysteriously caught fire shortly after midnight on October 30,2008. All that is left of it is the Facade and boiler tower. It would have been outstanding to of checked out inside as I'm sure all of the equipment was still in there when it burned. It was the largest textile mill in the country. My grandmother worked in this mill.

I watched a programme on tv last night where they went to Detroit hell you could spend a lifetime shooting abandoned building there
 
Saw this while driving around one day and getting lost. When that happens, I usually find very interesting things and places.
