I Love Abandoned Places

Abandoned building near an old country mansion, maybe a workshop of some kind

Reminds me of an old building my father and I found in a small forest behind our farm on Maui. May have been an old church. As we found what looked like a pew under some brush we were clearing out. I love finding and exploring old buildings like this.

@silentwriter180 That's pretty cool, anything local to you?

@TheJagsman I'm sure there are a few where I am now. I know this is a very historical town, as it used to be California's capital many many years ago. This was a famous harbor with sardine fishing and it was a port for the navy during WWII. There are many buildings here that are marked as historical, some of which no one is allowed to enter. They are just marked with plaques with their history. Some are opened just a couple hours over the weekend. But, I'm sure there are others here that have a mystery about them, and even some hidden in areas that are now forests. Personally, I moved here right after a severe accident that doesn't allow me to do as much hiking that I used to. The pain sometimes is unbearable to even walk across town.

@silentwriter180 Sorry to hear you don't get the chance to explore as much as you might wish, sounds like a good place though

I recently rebuilt an old stone cottage like this.

@Northerner For yourself?
Northerner · 70-79, M
@TheJagsman It is for holiday rental. Until my daughter decides if she would like to live in it.

@Northerner Nice, lucky daughter

Very cool! My parents took me to many ghost towns in the western US when I was small. And cemeteries, too!
TheJagsman · 26-30, M
@CoffeeFirst Cemeteries are good fun, one in Glasgow that dates back 300 years, its in the city centre but once in the cemetery due to its configuration, its pretty quiet, nice place to sit down

@TheJagsman Also Pere LaChaise Cemetery is awesome in Paris. We must visit Scotland again!!
I love abandoned places too :)
I think churches for me :)@TheJagsman

Urban ruins...Urban exploration are very cool...just be careful!
TheJagsman · 26-30, M
@luctoretemergo Squatters? Homeless? Vandals?
luctoretemergo · 61-69, M
A little of all 3!
I got a brick though!
TheJagsman · 26-30, M
@luctoretemergo Haha well that's good.

Worst I got was photographing an abandoned school in the southside, I was round the back and two teens came out a house that backs onto the school perimeter fence, they entered the school grounds, ignored me and then headed to the road at the front

Went I went back round to the front of the school, they were at the fence shouting "You're a wanker"

Nice kids haha
It’s a shame to see The Shire in ruins like this.
