A huge abandoned asylum in Italy. Full of beauty and stunning features.

Abandoned: The Last Song

While on my travels of abandoned places I sometimes find pianos and organs forgotten and left to rot. Musical instruments are always beautiful and it is such a shame they get left and forgotten.

 

 

Notre Dame College:

A grand piano left in an abandoned college. Shortly after this visit the college was demolished. I wander if the piano was saved.

Beelitz Mens Pavillion:

An upright piano found in an abandoned hospital. Due to the popular use of his location. I believe this was added at a later date as a prop.

Church Of The Raven: 

Various books lay on top of an organ overlooking an abandoned church.

Beelitz Bath House:

A grand piano used as a prop for a short film is now left in this abandoned hospital.

Holy Nurse:

The organ left in an abandoned hospital chapel.

St Michael's:

The ceiling lays on this small organ in a burnt out church.

Berkyn Manor:

An upright piano left in a large abandoned manor house in the UK.

Reflections Of The Past

Quite often you find nice reflections in abandoned buildings. Here are a selection of a few favourites I have taken while on my travels in search of abandoned buildings.

 

 

Battersea Power Station:  

After dodging workmen I finally found my way to the rooftop. Main idea was to enjoy the view of the city of London. I turned round to see a better view. The moment the image came up on the LCD I smiled. Certainly one of my favourite shots.

Hotel Des Thermes:

I Spotted the reflection of the ceiling and thought it looked rather nice. I wanted to get as much reflection as possible, so I ended up with the camera sitting in the pool of water on the ground.

 

Salve Mater: 

A slightly more discreet reflection here in a bathroom at Salve mater. I think its cool how they are different colours.

 

Infinity Reservoir: 

Well any shot here is bound to have a reflection. Can't be missing this awesome underground location out though.

 

 

Chateau Lumiere: 

An early morning selfie in the beautiful Chateau Lumiere. My partner in crime decided to try and catch some ZZZzzs so I hade the whole place to myself as the sun rose. I lined up this shot and figured it was perfect for me to sit on the stairs.  

 

Severalls:

A perfect time to visit this large abandoned asylum in Essex. Just as the snow had thawed we arrived to find the floors covered in water creating lots of great reflections in the corridors.

 

The Carvern:

What can I say about this location? One of the most amazing car graveyards you could ever see. Such a pleasure to go here and such a fun day out.

 

 

Church Of The Raven:

Well I noticed the reflections on the altar and that was it. I placed the camera on it and shot in nearly every direction possible!!

 

Swithland Reservoir: 

The main reason for this visit was to go underground in the main reservoir. However the surroundings are quite pleaasent too. I found the central spot and rested my camera on the ledge of the filtration bed.

Thanks for looking all the titles and images link back to the full set of each location if any of them grab your interest.

Urbex: Is It Really Abandoned?

Throughout my travels I have seen many different types of abandoned locations.

Some of the locations I have visited are in stunning condition with little signs of decay and begs the question. Is It really abandoned?

Here is a selection of these pristine locations I have visited.

The Oshkosh Fire Truck:

Quite a strange find here. Hidden in a derelict airbase, which has certainly seen better days was this airport fire truck.

The grand entrance to an abandoned UK chocolate factory. The only signs of abandonment in this room are dirty floors and a small amount of peeling paint on the ceiling. This room has a strange resemblance to the Titanic.

A beautiful clean abandoned church in Belgium. Apart from dirty floors, the odd crack in a wall and a few cobwebs its hard to tell this church is actually out of use.

This was a very popular location in the UK and it was quite a while until I visited here. The place was quite trashed and had a few nice features. I was quite surprised to find this small consultation room still in good condition.

The Appeel Of Abandonment

One of the draws of abandoned sights has to be the peeling paint.  Also wall paper can peel in a pleasing way too.  

Here we have a selection of the best peel I have seen in abandoned locations. 

 

British Celanese:

Awesome peeling paint in this abandoned factory. Accompanied with the sign I feel it makes a nice simple composition.
