underground history

The other day i was bored and it was getting dark. I grabbed my camera and a friend and we hit the countryside. Full of valleys, old streams and loads of history i knew we were bound to find something. As we turned off into the rolling hills we soon realized we were not alone. Her family was in a vehicle behind us and decided to follow all the way from the city. (I thought we were a bit to old for this)

We headed towards an old mine we were determined to find.

Laughing as we drove because we were being stalked by her family we drove down a windy road and kept looking around. Running out of sunlight quick we finally found it and jumped out to photograph it. Disorganized because of the last minute i was the only one with a camera and a memory card. I snapped a few shots and continued down the road after a chat with her family. Here is a picture of the mine - it has a dedication to those who once worked there.

abandoned technology

I have spent the past two days exploring the school.

My favorite room is what i would like to call "the room where computers go to die." Its basically a room in the basement with no windows that is full of old computers & electronics. Anyone that knows me will tell you that i am a tech nerd so spending time in this room made me feel right at home. I was shocked that so many computers and electronics were left to be vandalized by kids who sneek in. Some of the cables are still in sealed packages. Mind Boggling!

Here are the pics:

windows licences sealed & stacked

heres how i get exercise:
lifting moniters

the tower of towers

school distraction

I have re-located for the summer. Got myself a job and lots of new places to explore. I started to settle into my new place but got easily distracted by an abandoned school. I quickly grabbed my friend and a couple of cameras to explore the school. Leading the way with my mag light we wandered the dark desolate hallways.

This was one of the few urban things i have explored. Please full view pics as most of the school was pitch black and detail can be seen in full view.
