  • Abandoned Coal Mine / Processing Facility

    I’m currently in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a very scenic place. There is lots to look at here – the countryside is very beautiful, the mountains are gorgeous, and there are plenty of parks with hiking trails, waterfalls, beautiful forests, etc. So one thing I didn’t expect to find here was an abandoned coal mine. It’s probably…

  • Junkstock – Clifton Paint 31

    The word for the day is simplicity. And Junkstock captures the idea behind that word extremely well with this photo. This image, while containing almost nothing – a few flakes of paint peeling from a worn wall – manages to still present us with age, time, history, a feeling of ancientness. The simple and sparse…

  • First experience with the Droid X

    [singlepic id=191 w=320 h=240 float=left] I got a Droid X this week. The thing is simply amazing. I’ve had a blackberry for the last two years, and the performance with it was sub optimal, in my opinion. I spent more time looking at the spinning hourglass on that blackberry than I did anything else. At…

  • The always wonderful photo site Polar Inertia has a great set of abandoned pools in their archive from summer of 2008. These pictures show the life of a pool after all the people have gone away and forgotten about it, after the water is gone and plant life and / or decay is allowed to…

  • Strange Russian Seaplane

    Here’s a gallery of photos from an abandoned seaplane. I’m assuming it’s Russian, as the text from the website appears to be Russian and only something from Russia would look this insane. I don’t know much about the photographer, other than that his name may possibly be Igor. If anyone knows Russian and can translate…

  • Opacity – Epicenter

    Opacity is a photoblog run by Tom Kirsch, aka Motts. The man simply goes where I would never have the kihones to even look at, much less enter. And he brings back photographic evidence. His photos are pretty amazing, he obviously spends quite a bit of time in the places he visits getting his shots…

  • Doilum – Quad

    Flickr of the day: Doilum shares this photo of a strange structure in an abandoned factory in South London. It’s nice and dark. Check out the rest of Doilums photos of abandoned structures at this link.

  • Abandoned Boat Yard

    A while back, I came across an abandoned boat repair facility. The building had been empty for some time, and the grounds had turned into a dumping place for garbage, leftover yardsale items, old boats, etc. There were dolls and stuffed animals all over the place, so it was quite eerie and surreal. Here are…

  • Haunted House

    I’ve had my eye on a house over in Castle Hayne for quite some time – it’s abandoned, and I absolutely love abandoned places photography. So I stopped one day and walked up to this house, but I didn’t dare go inside. It was way too creepy. It wasn’t until almost a year later that…
