Moving, really. I like the colors and the composition, nicely, but somewhat eerily done.

Great photography - knowing what the building used to be used for really adds something to viewing the shots - thanks for posting these.

those colors are straight from the camera. I edited the levels a little bit but mostly everything is straight from the camera. The last shot is two combined one with back focus one with front focus. Thanks for all your positive comments. more pics comming today!

These are wonderful photographs and I can almost see the ghosts of people who were there. Very well done.

Reminds me of the shots around Chernobyl. Every thing all left exactly as it was.

what city or towns are you near? I could give you some suggestions. There are lots of abandoned places all over!
