Smurfing Around with Aleph: The Abandoned Factory
on: June 10, 2017, 11:31:34 AM
So, I returned to the abandoned factory couple days ago and did some exploring. Took a few pics from the outside, maybe next time I venture indoors...

As far as I know, the place was abandoned in 2000, originally built to produce industrial lubricants I believe and in the late days, charcoal for barbecues if you can believe it :D

You can still see the old rail tracks coming to the factory although they are completely reclaimed by nature:


At the gate:




Not the first visitor here, as you can see... This building seems to be still locked up tho:


Another building:


A little overview shot:


I think these are warehouses maybe? Still locked up too...:


Main factory building:








This warehouse building is all busted up:


Some odd factory equipment nature took over:


This building is in surprisingly good shape:


Behind the main factory building:






Last picture before leaving, of a building that looked like a garage:


I'm sure I'll get back some day soon, bu here you have it, my first exploration....

 :cheers:

I wanted it to be more spooky for some reason. Cool pics nevertheless

Thanks for sharing  :tu:

Living in the developing world I find it fascinating that a large piece of infrastructure can be abandoned like that.

Apparently, lately it's been more like "In America, the Snow eats you!"

We've had nice springly weather, and our brethren in the lands that were named after Amerigo Vespucci are getting snow, and lots of it!
