just a random question...do you take another person along with you when you visit these places, and how do you get "clearance" to enter and take photos

A famous "Motts shot."
Well, actually they're all famous in each of their own way, but this is the kind where you capture so much in one single frame.
Once again, awesome angle! : )

I saw "Silent Hill" last week, I'll never look at these pictures the same again!
I'll think, there's a scary monster around every corner! Or in every other picture....
