Abandoned Places

Hello all, first poster here. I live in Northwest Arkansas, & when people think of abandoned places, they think of Monte Ne's Lake Hotel. I snapped a few photos & would like to share them! History on this place can be found at this website.

I visited this great abandoned building many years ago and decided to drop by today to see how she's doing.

Here was the last time I went: here.

Anyways, the date of this 2nd trip was April 10th according to my camera's time stamp but it was so long ago that I can't remember real well... except that it was a few days before Easter, so that must be right.

Good People,

I love this community, but I'm mostly a lurker. I'm not really an arty photographer and I wuss out when it comes to venturing into abandoned buildings.

But I got some pics today that I hope some of our Michigan people may find deep.

At first I thought this was an abandoned school but after some research, I found this complex of four cast-in-place Art Deco concrete buildings was originally build between 1936 and 1939 as a community center for workers at a nearby cast iron pipe company.

A complete set here.

Coerced the husband to take me to this abandoned farmhouse near where his family lives in England a little over a week ago. We couldn't get too close (brambles were thick and our clothing not so much) but I have a few shots.

In October, an arson torched a nearby abandoned place. It was a beautiful old building that my husband and I have wondered about for years. Why is it was abandoned? We would always dream about buying the property and making a house out of it a la HGTV's reZoned.

Here is the article in our local paper about the fire. Scroll down to the multi-media section and look at the slide show. There are pictures of the building before the fire and during the fire.

Today my sister and I parked near the building and walked around it to take pictures. However, the city has put up a fence around the structure. We were trying to sneak through the fence when a neighbor man told us to keep out. We were scared that we were going to get in trouble, so I stuck my lens through the chain link fence to take the pictures. They have put steal support beams all around the building so it won't fall down. The building is way beyond saving though. It is practically hollow, and you can see down to the basement. I know they are going to have to tear it down, which is sad.

While there has been posts before on Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, this is the first set that I have found that is solely based on the rides and the exterior of the mansion itself. These pictures were taken when the rides and statues were still there, and the surreal feeling of the now abandoned Neverland Ranch creates a beautiful atmosphere.



Here is the link to the website. While quite a few of the pictures are posted on the website, there are quite a few more on his Flickr album.

At least that's what we thought it was. When we did more looking there was evidence that an interior design company used part of the building for some time.

EDIT: My urban spelunking companion is a bit concerned about being seen on the internet participating in such activities, so I have temporarily blocked her out until she has had a chance to review the photos to see that she is sufficiently difficult to identify.

Not my photos, but please enjoy this series of pictures of abandoned roadside motel pools in various states of decay & disrepair.

Hey all,

Just thought I would share with everyone some interesting pictures of the inside of Neverland Ranch (different ones from the link posted below, I checked so I wouldn't be wasting anyones time by reading the same thing twice!) that were posted by TMZ earlier on this morning.

There is 49 amazing photos in this set (which I do not claim to have taken any of the photos. :) Maybe this long time lurker will some day post some of my own. :)

There's an abandoned brick factory very close to my house that I've been meaning to explore for some time now. It's smack bang in the middle of a new housing estate but it's protected under the National Trust so it's not going anywhere any time soon, but it's also extremely close to one of the largest police stations in the state so I've always been somewhat hesitant to wander in. I finally plucked up the courage not too long ago.
