I've always had an affinity for abandoned places ....

Same here. I love exploring places

Where are all of these places owo

Lol, this one is in Pa in White Clay Creek state park. They're all over though. It just takes a bit of exploring

nice place

Yep!

Cool find. I like how there's like an arch with a small piece still hanging.

There's a few places like this around my city. A city that had a max population of almost 60k in the 1950's, that dwindled down to it's current population, ~30k, is a great place to find abandoned places. I like it when you can see a chimney or two where a house once stood, or huge sandstone blocks which used to be foundations or retaining walls, and the occasional lone staircase.

You inspire me to capture these places, before they completely disintegrate.

thanks man. I've always been interested in places like this myself. We have a lot of buildings like this in the area. Until about 50 years ago this was all farmland, and had been so since the colonial era. You can still find a lot of the old farmsteads in the woods, usually in the form of foundations or walls. But occasionally you'll find houses or outbuildings that are more complete

Ugh, I hate graffiti on structures like this. This decay is lovely, seeing the contrast of something man created against nature, and how nature is reclaiming it. Sometimes it makes me feel small and insignificant, but more often when I'm taking photographs of places like this I feel lucky and very, very alive.

Yeah I find these places very relaxing to walk around, personally

The places around here, are disappearing at an alarming rate... W Central Indiana.

We've lost several historic buildings recently as well. People seem to have no qualms with demolishing an old house and putting some piece of crap in its place. I usually give these new buildings 20 years at most. Disposable architecture.

I hate to say this, but I believe, you are right.
