Abandoned Places

You've seen activity there? Looks all abandoned to me, but you never know. Prob. just the land owner checking up on things. Also, some people use old buildings to store junk in. "Ooo gotta make sure my collection of stamps is still here....oh, I bet that tire is worth a mint. heheh" Yah know, sh*t like that. :lol:

No :lmao:, I don't think anyone live in that. There is a house to the right of that picture 50 yards or so. I think that is the owner.

Hey! Thanks!!

Guess those "orb" photos of mine were a real bust?? I kept getting "orbs", everywhere and anywhere I took night shot. Darnnit...I was so excited for what I *thought* I caught on film!! :er:

And now..to add to this wonderful collection of abandoned places...this is an abandoned shed at an old abandoned farm house (which I hope to post later!).

Inside is an old baby buggy, without the wheels. This is just how I foun the place too. I had to climb in and around some trees to get to this doorway.

Here is one....this is from 'the bus' series.....

Great pictures. The old farm house looks a little creepy. I always wonder the history behind them.

I guess this could fit in here, even tho, it might fit better in a theme called Ruins. :lol:

This is the Darnley Grist Mill, that was built in 1813. It was originally designed to supply flour to the army. By 1872 paper making equipment was installed and it was one of the areas first paper companies. In 1875 there was a large boiler explosion that destroyed the company. Two men died, and this place is rumoured to be haunted by their ghosts.
It was rebuilt and was later named the Greensville Paper Co. Then again in 1934, another explosion at the factory destroyed everything. The mill was rebuilt again, untill finally in 1945 fire burned it down. Tough shooting this as there is really nothing left, and large holes everywhere.

Apparently this is the room the two men died. It is niknamed The Mystery Room

Great shots Arto, James and Chiller.
Chiller as usual your shots are fanastic.
James, where were your shots taken?

James Learie · Sep 22, 2008

First one is at an abandoned cement plant, the second at an old WWII gun battery in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Sh*t, nice shots, all. :thumbup::thumbup:

Chill, love the info you have on the place. There's a old cable factory nearby that is like litterly IMPOSSIBLE to explore and not get in trouble, but a few men over so many years died working in there; mainly in the '30s. Arms and torsos getting caught in the reels from what I hear. Musta been a nice mess

ale:

Meh, as soon as I am done working 24/7, I'm gonna have to get out sometime, somewhere to explore. I got tipped this morning at work about a abandoned mill/plant near the mountains....west of the city, here. So, I'll go check it out. I prob. won't have any damn time to hit the nursing home soon

Out.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate your comments.
Bradster... there are some other buildings I have my eye on, but they are tough to get at. One building near the lake has 24 hour security, cause a photog died early this year exploring it.
BTW....Arto..love that school bus.
