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)

The abandoned Innocenti factory in Milan, Italy. Up to 1972, this was the place where the Lambretta scooter and the Mini Minor were built. There's not much left of the orignal factory, really. Just a huge stripped hulk, filled with trash and thriving vegetation. All of these were shot with my Agfa Isolette II on Shanghai GP3

The agfa Isola II is the slightly better version of the Isola I (yeah, really!). The big difference is the lens, the Agfa Agnar is an ok lens for this kind of low end camera. Here are some example shots on long expired Fortepan 400.

An abandoned 60's office block with a beautiful stairwell. The rest of the building was pretty empty and quite boring though. We visited this place in november and stayed the night there, even though it was freezing outside. And inside. Insane.
