I like the lines and angles as juxtaposed to the randomness and organic fluidity of the water below. Hell of a nice shot.

I just wanted to throw out my 2 cents worth. Motts' images seem to capture more than just the scenery in front of the camera, kind of a surreal feeling of what is must have been like before the decline of some of these places. Other Urban Exploration sites' photos have a one dimensional feel to them after viewing Opacity, great job Motts.

Godd composition and lighting, the decay really comes to life.

wow

Homeless people live there

Very beautiful, though! I love it!

where is this exactly - love to tinker with some of the pieces if allowed on board

An artist I knew died after falling through the floor of an old abaondoned railroad engine repair facility. His brother held him for the last five minutes of his life - there was no time for an ambulance. Be careful in old structures.

That said, people have died for things less worthy than art.

I think I found my next vacation spot

weird... maybe it makes them look occupied from a distance? deters vandals? didn't work...

Barbara, I skimmed some of the info on Mr. Witkin. If I remember correctly ( after I hastily exited one of his sites while screaming), he gets permission from people working at morgues (not in our country) to use their...um..."people" for props. He may be brilliant to some, but his work leaves a me with a mental bad taste.

It is so beautiful. It is the end of everything and the band played on as the people danced joyously unaware......

i had the oppertunity to walk the grounds of Pilgram state, been in and out of some of the building, seen alot of things worth talking about. i also seen an un marked grave yard,been in the tunnels underground, i could write a book with all the stories,a matter of fact a small time producer from south hampton made a B-movie around some of the stories it was aired on the IFC channle any one who wants some more info let me know

Brit Chick, funny, the thing that pissed me off about "Jeepers" was they didn't go inside the abanonned church (just the basement) ;-)
