As found in an abandoned textile factory.

"There are no good places left to explore in Belgium" This is something I hear more and more. It's true. If you only look online for places or try to trade them with other explorers.t

What's wrong good old fashion scouting? Just get the car, drive, look around and note all the possible abandoned places you see. Then get up early the next morning and find out if there's a way in. Nine out of ten times it's nothing, but once in a while you get lucky and find a hidden gem.

 

Bureau Central (Fr)

Almost 3 years after my first visit; little has changed. This late 19th century majestic office building has got a 'creepy' feel all over it. It's not hard to enter and still there's no graffiti inside or any other signs of vandalism. Peculiar the least.

The first time i was here the roars of the blast furnace shook the building and its foundation, this time it was quiet. I don't know what's more preferable. What is most impressive is the scale of the place, the hight and length of the hallways, the number of offices and meeting rooms.

We'd planned a five day trip through Poland and the Czech Republic. Remember when in may 2013 there were floods in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, that was during our trip. After 3 days of pouring rain and about 12 failed locations we decided to get out of the rain. But not before we'd tried one last location. And for the first time in 3 days we had some luck and were able to explore the okrągły kościół (the round church).

I mentioned earlier I needed a revisit of this rare beautiful Dutch location and so I did. Paul of course did join me and we spend almost 5 hours shooting the decay on a cold early february morning.
