Project 365 - Day 37

I found this old projector lamp in an abandoned factory I was exploring on an urbex trip. I had a great time in this factory though it was almost empty. In one of the halls, this lamp stood on the ground against a big rusted metal door. The texture and the colours of this door were marvellous, as you can see in the background of this shot.

Project 365 - Day 8

So, here's the picture of yesterday. I took it while on a little urbex trip to an abandoned train station in Belgium. A more usual style picture for me as some of you may notice. I like how the sky looked dramatic at that time of the day and added a lot to the atmosphere of the scene. There wasn't much to see as this was a really small train station of a small town, but nonetheless, the perspective of the cables and the road were nice and gave the possibility to make an interesting picture.

Bärenquell Brauerei

This is an abandoned brewery somewhere in Germany. I recently went for an urbex trip in Germany with a friend. We visited this breewery on our first day. The site is really huge, with lots of building. It's been heavily vandalized, but one can still see the beauty of this place. Some parts of the buildings have been burnt. We've been lucky with the light that day, it was a good beginning for our trip !

Villa Albert

Abandoned villa somewhere in Belgium. This beautiful house is suprinsingly well preserved, probably because it is partly hidden by the vegetation of the garden. This was a very nice exploration, and it must have been quite a luxury house. The walls are covered with wooden panels that seem to hide a secret. I admit I have searched for the little hidden mechanism to could move one of these panel, but I found nothing.

Usine Comet

Abandoned factory somewhere in Belgium. I think that this factory was producing beer kegs, at least that's what I found on the internet, but I'm not really sure about it. It was a big factory, and some of the buildings have already been demolished. I met three officials there, while exploring the place, and they told me the site was being cleaned because it was heavily polluted, but I don't know if it will totally demolished or if it will be partially rehabilitated.

Triage-Lavoir P.

Abandoned coal washing facility somewhere in Belgium. This place closed its doors in 1977. Rehabilitating works began in 2005, which can be seen by the thousands of new windows that were put in place. For an unknown reason, the works have been stopped, and now the place is still left to rot waiting to retrieve its past glory. This building is a real maze with lots of stairs everywhere.

Crypte L.

Abandoned crypt somewhere in Belgium. This crypt lies under a well known belgian cemetery and is now the eternal house of some famous people. It runs all along the graveyard, so it's quite big. It has been built in 1878 nad, from what I know, has been closed in teh eighties. The reason why it's forbidden to the public is that most of the ceiling threatens to collapse, so it's quite a dangerous place to be.

Tannerie Schotte

Abandoned tannery somewhere in Belgium. This old tannery is a very big place with many buildings. It's a well known place in the urban exploration world. There's not much to see there, as almost all the buildings are empty, but the architecture of this place is very nice, making it an interesting exploration. The place is very dangerous as there is asbestos almost everywhere in it. Some rumours said it will be demolished soon, but from what I've seen during my last visit, I think they will be renovating the place instead of demolishing it, which would be a shame.

Maison Romaine

Abandoned house somewhere in Belgium. This is another shot of this beautiful house. I explored it with a friend and we were really amazed by this house. It is quite big, and as we guessed by finding some papers in it, it probably was hte home of an automotive repairer, but it's not sure.

EBTN

Abandoned military airfield somewhere in Belgium. This looks like a very interesting place, with a control tower, some buildings and hangars. I say it looks like because unfortunately I hadn't the opportunity to explore all the site, I just explored one of the buildings. While I was in the building, the police came, I just had the time to get out without being seen. I'll have to get back there one of these day !

Centrale IM: Control room

Urban exploration of an abandoned powerplant somewhere in Belgium. This is another shot of the famous Centrale IM, a well known powerplant in the urbex community. There are two control rooms in this powerplant, this is the older one, a really magnificent place, very 50's looking. For those who have played the game falllout, it will make you think of it. Unfortunately, it has been heavily damaged by the copper thieves.

Depot SNCB

Abandoned train depot somewhere in Belgium. This was a very interesting place as there were a lot of old unused locomotives inside and outside the depot. Unfortunately, when I went back there to show the locomotives to a friend, they were all gone. The depot is in the process of being renovated and sold.

Filature Nouvelle-Orléans

Abandoned spinning mill somewhere in Belgium. An exploration I did a few years ago with my wife. It was a nice location though in a quite bad state. A lot of the buildings there were really damaged by the time, but the main building was very pleasant to explore.

Piscine S.

Abandoned swimming pool somewhere in Belgium. The same day I went back for the second time to the usine Shelt, I also went back to the Piscine S to show it to a friend. Here's a picture from the diving of the swimming pool of this day's session. While exploring this building, we also noticed that the place was used by squatters. Fortunately, we didn't met anyone that day.

Ecole Blaeps 17

Abandoned school somewhere in Belgium. This is another shot from this abandoned school. I wen there a second time too. I have to say that I really like goign back to places I've already been, mostly because I think that I get a better point of view of the place than the first time. This time I met a guy in the building, I think he was as scared as me that we met. He didn't seemed to speak french, I explained him basically that I was just taking pictures, he said ok and then left the building. I think he was sleeping there...

Brasserie B

Abandoned brewery somewhere in Belgium. I found this old brewery while exploring an abandoned swimming pool. The brewery was located just next to the swimming pool. I wasn't really sure if it was really abandoned, though it looked like it was, because there were cars in the courtyard. I found a way in, and notice that it was not used as a brewery anymore but as a softair playground instead. I explored the building finding nothing interesting because it was in a really bad state, and just when I  decided I was going to leave, I found a beautiful room with some machines in it. Finally I left, happy that I could at least took some interesting pictures of it.

Usine Shelt: second visit

Abandoned steelwork factory somewhere in Belgium. I paid a second visit to this beautiful factory to show it to a friend. We had a lot of luck that day because the sun was shining an it created beautiful rays of light in the building. I don't really know why, but I like this place very much, maybe because of the quietness of the place.

Hospice des vieillards

Abandoned hospice somewhere in Belgium. This old people home has been abandoned is a very nice place, even though part of it has already been demolished. What remains of it is some patient rooms, offices, but the most interesting part of it is probably the chapel. I didn't had much time unfortunately to explore it, so I haven't seen all of it, but I'll go back there soon !

PRB

Exploration of an abandoned ammunition factory. This is a nice urbex place, and really huge. The site is located in the woods and has a lot of buildings, though they're all in a quite bad state, the colors one can find there are wonderful. I only explored some of the buildings, and haven't looked futher in the woods, there might be some other beautiful decay deep there.

SCPA

Abandoned agricultural chemistry and physics laboratory. This place was in a quite good state when I visited it, though I think there are squatters living there. It was used as a research center in agronomy. There was also a doctor office with a waiting room (not sure if it's called like that in english).
