Another cooling tower!!. It was pissing down with rain and freezing on the day we went here. We got a train to the town in which this awesome place was located. We walked for about 45 minutes from the station to our destination and, after checking that the coast was clear, climbed a metal ladder and snuck inside. The interior was beautiful!!..... and it was awesome to be inside another cooling tower. This one was interesting because of the little house/shed thing plonked

The abandoned stock exchange rates highly with urban explorers and it was high on my list of 'must see' places. We got to the city in the morning to meet up with another mate who had done this haunt a few times before and made our way towards his usual entrance. It was boarded up with no chance of getting in.....so we walked around the back and, as soon as the coast was clear, squeezed our way through a locked gate. We pulled on a heavy door handle and, to our luck, it ope

This place was awesome. The convent was actually right next to the abandoned chapel (as blogged about earlier). It was kind of like a combination between a convent and a hospital....however whichever way we viewed it, it was beautiful. We were first greeted by a creepy old lounge chair sitting sinister in front of an old television. We ventured further in and climbed a stairway to the upper level. Each room was awesome in its own way.....some rooms had dirty hospital bed

We stumbled across this place on the way home from checking out another haunt. We assumed it was a brick factory judging by the number of kilns we found. It was pretty much an empty shell and had been abandoned for years and years.....it sat silently on a hill on the outskirts of a small town in Belgium. What made this place so magical was the late afternoon light streaming through the windows and the holes in the brick walls - great to photograph. No thrills in this plac

This place was ok. No major thrills (ie: no cool hospital equipment or beds to photograph), but the sparse interior was kind of nice and the 1940's orange tiles on the walls gave the space a nice, warm light. The two major draw cards here were the front circular windows which were awesome and looked great when the afternoon light hit it, and a nice semi crumbling stairway covered in dirt. We stayed here for a while and then got busted on the way out by this bloke who told

Powerplant IM had always been high on our list of must see places. We'd been drooling over pictures of this otherworldy moss covered funnel for a long time and finally, on a freezing cold pissy rainy day, we were on our way there. Located on the outskirts of a dirty industrial town in Belgium, we parked our car in a back lot behind a factory and walked through the rain with our camera gear. Finally this huge vast industrial tower appeared before us and we nearly pissed our

The Grand Hotel was a nice little find. Located in a picturesque village by a river in Belgium, we accessed this place by walking down a lane way and sneaking in from the back. After climbing a very unstable and crumbling brick wall, our first entry point was the back of a manky kitchen. This haunt was basically falling apart and we had to hold onto the wooden railing on the stairs in case it crumbled beneath us. The grand atrium was spectacular with a glass roof streaming
