Wilmington, June 2026
I spent some time visiting some locations other than the downtown area. I saw an alligator, an old dilapidated dock, an abandoned radio communication shack complete with fallen antenna, wildlife and a sailboat. Here are a few of the shots. The photo of the sail boat was taken with a Spiratone Ultratel – an old…

Abandoned Restaurant, Cape Cod
This is a shot of a defunct restaurant along the shore of Plymouth in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It’s a composite image consisting of three shots – left, center, and right – combined in Lightroom, and then given the black and white treatment. It’s full size, so there is a good amount of detail.

Abandoned Police Station
Sometime in 2009, I had the opportunity to enter the old Wilmington Police Station Building on Red Cross Street. It was the day that demolition was to start. I spent about an hour wandering around the empty building, wondering what kinds of scenes must have played out in each area. Here are some photos that…

Abandoned Coal Mine / Processing Facility
‘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
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 any rate, the Droid X…

Abandoned Pools
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…

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…
