Does that place me above or below the Holder of Ratty's Eternal Respect?

No prob, just toss some pizza boxes and adult magazines in a heap.
MoF: Some questions are better left unanswered...
Below. But you too can become a Holder of my Eternal Respect - you just need to impress me enough.Silencer said:

Explored these last week. Not quite abandoned as they look- they is a production of Shakespeare's Mid Summer Night's Dream there in two months.

Incidently, for some excellent black and white film in the noir tradition, the Third Man is awesome. Not exactly abandoned but set in post-war Vienna, people live side-by-side to destroyed buildings and much of the action takes place along creepy and empty streets, among ruins, or within the abandoned sewers. Match that with the overall paranoid look and off-angled pictures, it can really set the mood.
Vienna- a city partially destroyed by war.
Yeah, that's a body floating.
A bridge empty of traffic in the middle of the day.
Pursuit down dark passages.
Underground rivers.
Desperate hands coming up from a sewer grate.
More?

or rent the flick. Classic noir.

Also, Big T, you rule.
Sort of reminds me of exploring the condemned Letterman Army Hospital in San Francisco with some friends back in Halloween 2001. Wish I would've brought a camera... it was one of the eeriest abandoned sites it's ever been my privelege to see, but they tore it down a year later to make way for the new Lucasfilm complex. I haven't been able to find any sort of photo record of the building after it went into decline.
ow man... i wish to see this place http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/secret_nuclear_base.htm

If you are interested in abandoned places you might find this site interesting.
It's the site of a Belgian pilot and photographer who flies around the world and takes (decent) pictures of ... abandoned places
http://www.abandoned-places.com/
He also had an exhibition, and published a book

Damn, I need to get a camera and show yous guys some of the eerie stuff in the desert here.
I just moved to a medium-sized town in Texas, and they have an interesting kind of urban sprawl going on where most of the stores are closing down and re-opening in new locations on the good side of the tracks... it makes for a pretty cool night drive, with a good portion of the city being abandoned theaters, strip malls, and so forth. If I can get my digicam working, maybe this information will actually be of some significance.
Man, that hospital was creepy. There's not really any urban exploring where I live... I tried to force my way into some of the nearby military vaults dug into the hills (they're extremely large) but I was stopped by welded shut blast doors and old outposts filled with concrete, denying entry. If there's enough people who want to, I could get my ass up there and take a few pics though.
I've been inside one of the vaults once, but it was pretty boring, as most of it was sealed off (private property now).

This is a small industrial town in Russia that seems to have been abandoned on the go, with cars and belongings left behind.
