Urban Decay

Living in New England means there are a lot of mill towns and unfortunately not every mill building can be turned into luxury condos or office space. Some just molder away, imprisoning ghosts and failed dreams.

Interesting set, I favour shot 1 here.

I like the first shot, would like to see some from the inside.

I would, too, but this is what the door looked like -

it is on the end of a walkway bridge over the river in the other shot and connects to the side of the building. The shot behind the fence is the loading dock.

Someone appears to be looking after the sign quite well. It looks out of place against the overgrowth and the old entrance.

LOL..I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm with the gang in saying shot 1. Looks like a neat place to shoot!

thanks guys. I think the latest occupants of the building are only recently departed. It started out as a furniture factory, but don't know what the Nockege people did. They were pretty keen on infra red satellite tracking though.

Thanks Bambi. Mills and ruined factories may become my new passion until it snows.
