Mr. Motts, Your photos inspire me to be an Urban Explorer...but then I remember that there is mold and nails and heat and guards and collapsed floors...and even though you share all those bad things with us in your pictures, they are so beautiful, we forget the dangers you face with every exploration. Thanks for letting me do my exploring vicariously through you!

That is a beautiful breezeway, in amazing condition. Love the curved windows, and the hardwood ceiling.

Wow, a very primitive adjustable bed. I wouldn't want to get my arm caught in there.

What a neat game. I love the colours in this photo also, pink, yellow, green, white, brown, all meeting at different angles.
