So after browsing around opacity.us yesterday, I became inspired to crank out some of my own Urban/Grunge/Creepy Photography. I knew of a good run down spot in town. The only door that wasn't chained and locked was wide open, so I decided to stick my head in. Turns out it's a bunch of older guys selling tires. So I asked if they minded me taking a few pictures, they didn't care :tup: They were really nice and told me a little history about the building. Apperantly it was the first building in the area to have an elevator, which was well past it's prime. It was also used in the World War II as a shelter. I really wanted to get to the top floor and take pictures as well, but they only had access to the bottom floor.

Onto pics:

Well done Chris. Both you and the painters have mastered the colors. My pics are #3 and #4.
