| 1:21 pm | Заброшки Питера и Лен.Области Поскольку иногда в поездки по заброшкам мы берём с собой видеокамеру, то у нас помимо фотографий сохраняются и видеоматериалы. Представляю вашему вниманию небольшой видеоролик, в котором использованы фрагменты наших поездок по заброшенным местам Питера и Лен.Области. Называть объекты не буду, но здесь их достаточно много. |
| 12:26 am | Riverside Mill  The general consensus is that this place was entirely converted into condos years ago. I haven't seen any pictures in a very long time. We were on our way back from up north and decided to see what was left for the hell of it. Turned out despite a large amount being turned into condos at least half, or maybe more, is still an abandoned mill. There was machinery still inside which was surprising as well. We only spent 1.5hrs inside before it got too dark. In all that time I never saw even the entire first floor, and there are 5 floors in this place. So needless to say I will be making a return very soon. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. This is the side that has been converted into condos. It's huge. However it's only a small part of the entire mill complex... 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Still worked... 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. http://www.flickr.com/photos/theneighbor |

| 11:29 am | Puschino-na-Nare noble estate: "antique" ruin in Moscow region  This is probably the most beatiful classical ruin in Moscow region, which look almost "anitique". Puschino-na-Nare is a former noble estate situated in the southern part of the Moscow region, not far from the city Serpukhov (approximately 90 km to the South from Moscow). The main house was first erected in the late XVIIIth century, then rebuilt (in the classical forms again) in the beginning of the XXth century. It was abandoned in late 1980s, and since that time the monumental ruin has become the setting for numerous photo sessions. All pictures were taken about a week ago.        |
| 12:38 am | Station to Station  1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Lots of these around... 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. It would be sweet if that wire wasn't there... 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. The reflecting pool... 45. 46. 47. 48. This is above the turbine hall on a catwalk accessible via the roof. The catwalks were concrete and not grates thank god... 49. 50. 51. Add 25 years of water damage and I'm feeling real safe... 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. The front is entirely active and these babies were humming their asses off... 59. When we left we saw one of these trucks now parked right near our exit. We proceeded anyway and walked past and no one was inside it. When we got to our cars and drove past the truck again a worker was coming out of a sub-station towards his truck. I suppose we had good timing... 60. And for a bonus this was parked down the street. Or should I say torched and dumped down the street... http://www.flickr.com/photos/theneighbor |

| 2:59 pm | Royal Star Patterns A landmark Hotel on Toronto's Airport Strip (Series of Hotels along Dixon/Airport Road by Pearson International Airport). The name of the hotel was from a Constellation Aircraft that sat out in front for years. That airplane was later moved to the back of Pearson, and could be seen from Derry Road. That airplane in recent years has been moved to a new home in Seattle where it is being restored. But I digress, the hotel, was built in 1962 and had two fifteen story towers, both of which, despite currently demolition progress still stand. Renovations in 2004 added on another building with 350 rooms (it also still stands). By the end of the SARS crisis the hotel was already failing and closed after that. Currently it is under demolition or re-construction, it is unclear on what is actually happening. Between May and October 2009 no progress has been made. Currently most of the areas of the 2004 expansion have been almost gutted, I never got into the older tower but it's apparently in near mint condition from when the hotel was still operating. The property around it is a maze of rubble pile from the demolition of the parking garage and parts of the complex. Safety shoes/boots are a must.         |

| 11:36 pm | Pennsylvania Railroad Steam Plant  Went up to Philly to get some pictures of the final days of the Pennsylvania Railroad Steam Plant. They are imploding the smoke stack on November 8th at 7:30am. 1. At first from on a parking lot this was the best view I could get. Then we decided to walk around the area and find a better vantage point. Near a bridge was a walkway. We followed that walkway and it led all the way down onto the Amtrak property. We decided to head towards the building and hope someone didn't stop us or yell at us. We got all the way down to the buildings in the middle of Amtrak property and no one ever stopped us or said anything. Kind of scary when you think about it. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Convenient walkway that leads right to the place... INFO: The long abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad Steam Plant in Philadelphia is going to be imploded... "The old PRR steam plant (now owned by Amtrak), located next to 30th Street Station in downtown Philadelphia, is in its last month of existence. At 7:30am on Sunday, November 8 (back-up date November 15), the plant's towering chimney, a landmark behind Penn Coach Yard for over 70 years, will be dynamited and dropped by Controlled Demolition, Inc. into a narrow opening between the CSX high-line viaduct and the SEPTA tracks. All rail service on SEPTA and Amtrak will be halted for the implosion, as will traffic on local streets and nearby Interstate 76 (the Schuylkill Expressway). Unlike typical building implosions, this one will direct the chimney to rotate and drop sideways like a redwood attacked by a chainsaw. Charge-up the cameras: this promises to be a fine show." http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/re http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=qnstjs8r13m3&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=35726683&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1 |
| 8:02 pm | New Englanders, by chance? Anybody here live in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, etc, and have any pictures of local abandoned spots lying in their photo archives? I'd love to see, especially if they're of the Norwich State Hospital by chance...tho it's definitely a longshot. |
| 7:32 pm | Urban exploration in Kouvola : Abandoned house  Some pictures from an abandoned house in Kouvola, Finland. Built some time 1910-1914, this house is rumoured to have been either a bakery or a laundry business facility until the 1970's after which it has stood empty, the surrounding buildings demolished over the years. Not unknown to the local youth, the house has faced some wear and tear due to frequenting visitors. You'll notice some similarity with a previous post about Kouvola to this community some hours ago - I shared the photo trip with him, yet I hope to bring something new. Here are some picks from my picture post (link at bottom).    Torn-down electricity wiring was everywhere      Had these wires been live, walking inside the house would've been dangerous. Read my full post here Comments are appreciated :) |

There were checks from the 1940s in here... 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Torso bear... 11. 12. 13. I had hoped an old timey radio would be inside... 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. ---Another House--- 22. 23. 24. http://www.flickr.com/photos/theneighbor |

| 11:18 am | Woot second time my Urban Exploring adventures got featured in a local publication!!!! Most of the writing about the history and all of the pictures is done by me <3 http://www.metroja...e-ambassador-hotel the last time they featured me was : http://www.metroja...ytle-public-school The only thing I hope does not happen is the bad type of attention... though they never state I was in there illegally... and they said they may be able to get me into a lot of these places legally as their photographer. (that does take some fun outa it  )  |
