Trudging Through

Wasteland

Doran

Looks like something one would picture when listening to Wreath of Barbs.

Location: Fuller State School and Hospital  Gallery: Chop Shop

Blue World

Doran

Whenever I listen to Boards of Canada, this is one of the kinds of things I imagine.

Banded

Doran

Looks like something Boards of Canada would use in their artwork.

Location: Springfield State Hospital  Gallery: Thirteen

Abyss

Doran

The name of this photo brought to mind the song Abyss by Dawn of Ashes. I laughed.

Opening Skies

Doran

The contrast between the disarray of the old tin and the straightness and seeming strength of the wood beams is impressive.

Not Complete

Doran

I think we've all had that sometime in elementary school. Left me feeling quite foolish.

Safe Again

Doran

I appreciate this kind of building much more than the renovated ones… the tin ceilings make it feel like it has higher ceilings and more space, therefore making it airier.

Waiting to Be Seen

Doran

After looking at the rest of the gallery, I'm going to take a guess at this is the renovated building. I can't understand why they so often chose to cover up so much of the 19th century charm.

Ten

Doran

Oh, the dramatic twist

Time Enough At Last

Doran

I wonder who's still wondering where that one pair of glasses they owned disappeared to fifteen years ago…

Notice

Doran

The rust on this door is amazing.

Tracks

Doran

If you've read The Road, this is what comes to mind.

Hanging On

Doran

So I'm sitting here, listening to NIN (The Day The World Went Away, Quiet Version), and I'm looking at these photos. I feel extremely melancholy, as emo kid as that sounds, but it's nice. Very relaxing.

Silent Singers

Doran

That's disappointing, old singers are nice.

Mask

Doran

Makes sense. This photo does seem a little post-apocalyptic, though. :D

Mask

Doran

I would love to have something like that.... you don't take anything, though, do you?

Wrap

Doran

This looks kindof like an infinite string of yelling mouths.

Compact

Doran

That's an impressive amount of damage... that almost looks like a crash test car. I wonder how many people were killed in all these cars...

Dust

Doran

This would make for a very interesting art project or movie set. Or something of the like. The dust is very out of the ordinary for relatively new cars.

Pulled

Doran

That looks a little more than dangerous... did this place still have any electricity at all?

Location: Acme Coke Plant  Gallery: Altostratus

Shattered Lights

Doran

It's a really, really, REALLY bad idea to ever break a fluorescent bulb, and large amounts are even worse. This is because of the amount of mercury in each bulb, which is extremely hazardous.
