The second edition of the Festival of Lights in Ghent. 4 days of performances with light and projections. Yesterday was the first day of the festival, and already thousands of people were walking the tour. On a thursday night. Go figure. It's quite a spectacle though, especially the mapping on the old post office and the cathedral-like passage with 55.000 LEDs.
The tempelhof airport in Berlin, Germany. A huge airport terminal, built between 1936 and 1941. Quite an impressive structure, epic architecture. It was closed down in 2008 and has been waiting for a reconversion ever since.
A hospital halfway trough moving to another building, the old buildings destined to get torn down. These are pictures of my second visit to this place, several months after my first visit. At the time of the first visit the hospital was still stuffed with equipment, the second time it was mostly empty.
Zeche Am Wald, an abandoned coalmine. It was way past midnight, and we really needed a place to crash for a few hours. We had our minds set on an abandoned coalmine, of which we were pretty sure we would be able to get in. So far, so good, but here's the catch, this mine was in the middle of the woods and the road leading there was closed. This little detail ment we had to walk several kilometres in pitch black darkness trough a forest to get there, and once we were there we still had to find a way in. After some scouting around we found our way in, and we went looking for a nice room to spend the night. Inside, the buildings were trashed beyond recognition, so we picked one of the former offices that still was fairly clean. After some drinks we went to sleep only to be awakened a few hours later by the sound of a car. Security was checking every door on the premises. Luckily we got in a different way and we closed our entrance well. Here's some shots of this place (the first image (of our awesome lair) was shot by Rule)
An abandoned crematorium, a creepy little place.
