What is it about urban exploration (aka Urbex or UE) that is so fascinating to so many people these days?  In the midst of a huge photography boom, it certainly stands out as unique.  I’ve been to this place on several occasions and it fascinates me every time.  Today I got to bring my 18-year-old son to have a peek.  He was a little creeped out and I swear he thought zombies were gonna come running out any minute!

It makes you wonder about what once was.  It makes you wonder who once was.  It makes for good photography.  It makes for fascinating photography.  It’s the thrill of exploration and discovery.

It’s just really cool.
