Strange purple glow was in 3 photos I took - not sure what the deal is with that?
The last image has the glow.
Hope you enjoy.

It just lens flare. Happens from having a bright light source pointed directly at the lens.

Id rather not publicly give its location out.
It’s an incredible place that is huge.
I can’t wait to go again!

The purple stuff around the windows in #1-3 is chromatic aberration(CA). It can be seen in high-contrast edges, such as window frames and tree branches against the sky. Quite easily corrected in PP though.

Old buildings like this are so evocative. You did a great job. I can't imagine how much lead is in the peeling paint.

How do you gain access to places like that?? Is it trespassing? And no I'm not a cop or anything like that!!

You should seriously consider doing some HDR at that location. It would really add to the spooky feeling.

AS long as you are not eating the chips, you are likely to be ok!

I agree on the HDR, those pictures are all very well exposed, but because of that they're not as creepy as they could be.

As for entering placing like this, a lot of the time is a grey area. If no one sees you there then were you ever there? If the place hasn't taken proper steps to keeping people out then if you do get caught you'll most likely get a warning the first time. It depends on the location however, it's best to just no run into any law enforcement when you're partaking in urban exploration like this.

You've awakened them. Who? Them.

Amazing and yes, VERY CREEPY, photos! You definitely captured the eeriness of the building.
