Love the title. The gauge Dali missed. Love the photos, and love the comments, too! <3

Just a baby compared to the largest draglines. The worlds biggest was 22 stories tall.

I'd hate to be the one to keep these things oiled!

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza...

The Valley of Gwangi?

What a shot! I love it! I hope that's not smoke from a fire in the background.

Reminds me of those things logs slide down, then float down the river., like in the old cartoons and movies.

I've been around table saws often. Nothing beats the smell of fresh sawdust!

Yeah, those sinks are cool. I wish they were more common. Think how many people can wash their hands at once, then get back to work or class all the sooner!

I really like this shot. This room reminds me of a prison room.

Are those 2 blue things on the floor boots? Interesting shot.

Ya goody two shoes!

Nah it isn't too hard to find most of these places... although a bit of a time buffer isn't a bad thing for the more sensitive locations.

I wish I could post photos soon after I take them, but there are many other things that take priority for me; time is a precious commodity. In these years (2003-2010) I was in a very big hurry to see and capture as much as I could - there would be time to work on photos later.

I'm still glad I made that choice, since so many places are now gone.

darkstar- I have been guilty of googeling various sites Motts did not give location and found a few- I love Kirkbride edifices

eldo i agree- have see other 'abandonded' sites- not nearly inclusive as this one
