A trip to a partially redeveloped rifle manufacturing facility.  Met up with some new friends for the first time and had a blast.  Almost got caught by the cops at a previous location (lucky for traffic, we got there just as they were going in), this was our backup.  I've been wanting to check it out for years.  It is almost completely empty, but the long halls and crackling wood and paint made it very photogenic.

Here are a few favorites.

Very impressive, it seems you don't disappoint when it comes to producing awesome photos. I absolutely love the cracked floors along with the B + W processing in some of the other photos.

Love the sudden drop in 18.  And the signage that is not being followed in 14.  Good location.

Don't judge me unless you have looked through my eyes, experienced what I have and cried as many tears as me.  Until then back off, cause you have no idea.

Love the sliding door in #7.   From the looks of things it probably had that downhill thing going on years ago.
The buckled floors are amazing.   Wonder why this happened here.  I was going to say I don't think I remember seeing it before, but then it dawned on me that I don't think many of the buildings we have seen before had wooden floors. 
Thanks for posting.   You have talent, thanks for sharing it.

It was the time of year, the time of day, for a small insistent sadness to pass into the texture of things. Dusk, silence, iron chill.

Very nice photos. I think I like #7 the best -- not sure why; maybe because it's the brightest? It also seems the most timeless.
