Description Abandoned House
Solden, Austria

I decided to have these shots all together, as seperated, they're not that interesting. But together, along with the story, they have more meaning.

This is a house near where I live. It's built right at the bottom of a mountain. Years ago huge rocks fell from the mountain onto the side of the house, making it unsafe, and forcing the family to leave.

I literally had to climb over a barrier cutting the rocks off & crawl through the tunnel they created when they landed on each other to get the bottom left shot! Jon was chanting in the background 'you're gonna get cruuuuushed!'. But I couldn't resist! If I hadn't of run out of room on my memory card I would of climbed inside the building to explore.

Abandoned buildings are so interesting!

The texture of the old wood and the not-so-happy-looking trees around the building make the pictures look rather creepy, and in a good way.
Arrrrgh, stupid memory cards, they can be so mean.

That looks really scary.. but cool! Your story reminds me of this group of people I know. They travel around the Netherlands and Belgium to enter abandoned buildings and places, just to take pictures. They're allowed to go into the coolest things ever. <3

I want to take one of my models with me... we found one of the like utility closets on the outside had an entrance but we opened it up and it was a crack den and there where two human fingers sitting on the floor, so we werent going through to that to the actual door which was locked anyways D:
I want to take one of my models and go in there though.
