Hello,
I've noticed some abandoned houses in a forest, and decided to explore them. Here some photos :

Nice stuff. Those S.Paris abandoned houses are much nicer than our S.Baltimore abandoned houses! Do you plan on going back? The place would make a good study or series.

Are you familiar with Clarence John Laughlin's "Ghosts Along the Mississippi"?

Very nice!
My personal favorite must be 4th image.
Abandoned houses and military bases here are in a lot worse situation. Often there are just walls that is left of them, no roofs, windows or doors.

Those are great, if they were here they would scooped up and turned into a fancy restaurant, a yoga center, plastic surgery office, or a sales room for granite counter tops. But I like them the way they are.

Actually I have already visited every room in those houses, so I don't plan on going back soon, unless I bring someone who wants to visit, or I have other ideas of photos to take there. But I'm looking for other similar places to visit. I also visited an abandoned train station yesterday, an abandoned hospital a few weeks before and need to develop/scan the photos.

Abandoned houses always seem so sad to me. So much history. What these rooms have seen. Ghosts of life and love and tragedy. Thanks for posting the photos.

Spooky... Very interresting!
There was a abandoned church near Quebec City in Canada that was very spooky... We use to enter it at night during the winter... The roof was almost completely destroyed... I've stole an very old leather shoe in the ice... Sadly, I've broke my flash trying to break in
... The inside was very beautiful all lit by the moonlight reflected by the ice on the ground and the icy wreckage...
And 1 month later, some little brats burn the whole place just for fun...

These are really great, I love urban exploring, it is so fascinating. I've been trying to find something like that here in the Pacific Northwest, but not much luck.

Great shots!!
Wish you could find something like that here in Denmark, but everything is so controlled here. Places like that would be turned into parking lots or concrete office complexes - just so boring...

This weekend, I visited an abandoned orphanage :

This is the pictures from my digital camera (Sigma DP2). I'll post more pictures from my Hexar RF when I have developed and scanned them.

Be sure to post I enjoyed the last bunch. This one looks like it has all kinds of possibilities too.

Thanks, very interesting.
I was gonna say that these sure don't look like the abandoned houses around here.

lovely. was this whole neighborhood bought out for a development that never took off? the facade of the first house - the one with mortared small stones - is called tabby here ...

Stay out of abandoned buildings. Where I'm from you're likely to run into a drug dealer or other criminal elements, or physical or chemical hazards especially at old industrial sites.

I'm intrigued as to why these buildings don't suffer from the same fate that similar buildings in the UK do - namely being covered with graffiti, human excrement and needles on the floor and general mindless vandalism to the internal fixtures and fittings.
Is this because they have only recently been 'discovered' so to speak, or is it because the French have more reverence for this sort of thing? Or perhaps they have better things to do with their time than smash toilets in abandoned buildings?

This is also what usually happens in France. But sometimes there are exceptions. When it is not close to a big city, and not too much people know about it.I'm intrigued as to why these buildings don't suffer from the same fate that similar buildings in the UK do - namely being covered with graffiti, human excrement and needles on the floor and general mindless vandalism to the internal fixtures and fittings.
