Description
Urban Exploring (UrbExing) is a potentially dangerous activity and should never be attempted unaccompanied. There may be broken glass, rotten flooring/roofing, wild animals, or exposed wires in the vicinity. Always take care when exploring abandoned properties and be mindful of trespassing.My boyfriend and I went UrbExing today in some abandoned buildings near our university. ^^ It was tons of fun, but a bit wet in some buildings because of rain the night previous. We couldn't get everywhere because we went in a bit unprepared, but we're going to re-visit eventually with proper gear and safety equipment to get more photos. Even with our meager supplies and my utter lack of working batteries, we still managed to get some decent pictures and see some really cool things, like three naturally mummified cats, a 1929 book in decent condition (we kept it), and a Social Security Card that I held onto. Also got to meet a very friendly woman who is going to help me get a lithograph under my belt in the near future. >u<
This photo is of a hallway we couldn't follow to the end (no flashlight). I thought it made for quite the beautifully abyssal picture. Very Silent-Hill-esque.

That hallway... Augh. Every time I go near that place, I get the shivers. I'm glad that I managed to get a photo that does the same!
EEEGH THAT'S CREEPY. Now I won't be able to go near there without hearing that in my head, too! >n< Errrrrrgh, and yet I know I'm going to go back....

Ah, my boyfriend and I have been down to the end- and it was freaking creepy, got to say. Yeah, we saw the cinderblock wall. ^^ Did you perchance peek at the huge steel firedoors to your left and right? There's graffiti from May 8th, 1968 on the one on the left. We didn't see the random chair, though- we'll keep our eyes peeled on the next visit! ^^
Thank you very much! Coming from such a skilled photographer (especially one with photos of the Knight Hospital, too), that means a ton. Thank you so much!

oh man, i must have missed the graffiti. i've been meaning to get back there, and i think another trip is in order once the dust has settled from the holidays. and, you are quite welcome!

You should definitely go back! Have a great time when you do- maybe we'll see you on one of our trips!

Really creepy photograph, it is indeed very abyssal.

>u< Take a friend with you! ^^ It really is fun, if you can get it done safely.
And thank you so much! I'm flattered that you like it. >//u//< I really appreciate the fave, too!

Hah, I'd be way too scared to go alone.
But if I take a kitten with me, I might make it out alive.

I recommend against kittens, especially after finding dead ones in one of the buildings. Just sayin'!

Dead kittens does NOT bode well!

Two mummified ones and a mommy cat.... Not good sign at all. D:

Dude this seriously looks legit, for serious. I'm sure you guys had a blast and you'll have to tell me all about it in detail. This looks really freaking beautiful. (Is it weird that I find old, abandoned, falling apart buildings beautiful? XD) Totally wanna go here now! Me thinks when I finally visit we must plan a trip.
Oh and dude we found a naturally mummified opossum in one of the asylum building today. Twas rather cool.

Sweetie, we all find old, abandoned buildings beautiful. This is not strange in the slightest. XD When you visit, I will be actually severely disappointed if we don't go. ^^ This building was the fun one to get into, though; we had to climb in through a ground-level grated window. It was a tight squeeze, especially in inflexible jeans. XDDDD
Oooooh, really? XD Seems to be a thing with abandoned buildings, then. Ours was a mummified mommy cat and two kittens.

Okay good. Glad we are on the same page. XDD Okay GOOD. Then we shall go! Nice~ We had to climb up a two story fire escape that's directly in view of the road to get in. XD
Awww kitties. :3 That's cool. It's sounds sweet but so sad. Poor kitties. XD

Ooooh, that's a bit dangerous! 0A0 What if you were seeeeeeeen?!? XD Anyway. When I come home, we are visiting the asylum. Plzkthx.

Defiantly was. XD But so worth it. And we were super careful as always not to be seen. And yes, yes we freaking are!! And I can't wait.

YOU SPEAK WITH THE WORDS OF KNOWING.
How is this possible?!
No really though, Abyssal was really fitting. I wish I could find nice places to take pictures of.
...also a camera to take pictures with. That'd be nice too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THIS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I AM MAGIC. BUT YOU KNEW THIS.
Places to take neat pictures are all around you, not just in abandoned buildings! ^^ Though I will admit, those are darn fun to root through and find crap in. XD And cameras can be found for cheaps~~~ Usually on ebay. >u< Everything can be found on ebay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed I did.
ABANDONED BUILDINGS ARE HARD TO FIND. I live in such a small area. ; w ;
I have no internet money, though, so I can't be doin anything on ebay. x3;
If anyone would take me to finally start applying for jobs, I might, though. D:<

MAKE YOUR OWN BUILDING AND THEN ABANDON IT. Solution.
Aw, great sadness! >n< You can have my McDonalds job, if you want...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
GENIUS.
I would take your McDonald's job, but I would have to be bilocated to do that, and even at that, I'd be doing other things, me thinks. > w >;;

I'd rather conveniently have a long lost twin. Yep. A mindless twin to do whateverrr I say.

He's out there. Listening.
I know it.
He's doing this on purpose.
Why won't you show up already, twin? D:

Ooooh. I just got chills. This is an amazing shot -- I agree, very Silent-Hill-esque! Very beautiful, in a creepy way. I've never heard of UrbExing before, but it sounds like a blast. I'm kind of jealous. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
UrbExing is amazing. Me and a lot of my friends are hooked on it, actually, especially so after we end up with photos like this. I was honestly just expecting a Nurse or something to lumber up through there at any second- it was seriously creepy!
>//u//< I'm really glad that you like the shot, dear! ^^ That makes me really happy, that you got the shivers, too. XD I must be doing something right!

Did you really? Wow, that's incredible for me to hear! ^^ Means I caught the hallway well (or, at least, I got a bit of it the same way as I felt) because it was by far one of the creepiest things we saw all day. I had shivers up and down my back like it was a football field on an overtime game. XD
I'm really glad you like it so much, and thanks bunches for the fave! ^^ I really appreciate the feedback and love.

No problem, but again is this the biggest version? I'd make a great wallpaper.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mmm, I believe the downloadable version is the original picture size... No, I don't think I have anything larger. :/ Sorry! Unless you can suggest a way to blow up the image without losing detail quality? I'd be happy to look into something!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually have no idea. O.o I'm still new to this too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Then we'll both have to gain experience! Sorry I can't help more...

No problem, maybe the forum can help you out there
