Abandoned Detroit

I don’t remember which factory building this photo came from.  I’ve visited so many, they blur together….  I loved the reflection in the standing water. 

By the way, I’m sorry I’ve been absent from my blog and social media.  Life has just been very busy, but I won’t bore you with that.  Enjoy tonight’s photo and have a great Friday tomorrow.

Abandoned China Factory

It’s been a long week, do you agree?  I also have a busy weekend planned, what about you?  I hope you enjoy your weekend and upcoming week.

Tonight’s photo is from an abandoned china factory outside of Pittsburgh.  I loved the standing water in this area and the effect it has in this photo.

Holy Water Batman

During our epic Motown Urbex trip this spring, Blair and I went to the Cadillac Stamping Plant before the rest of the group arrived.  It rained hard the day before and some while we were at the site.  That created lots of flooded spaces including this mechanical rooftop area.  That standing water helped provide lots of reflections like this.  I loved the way the windows and elevator doors reflected off the water.

Lonely Piano

It’s a piano.  That’s what MJ suggested I put for this blog post.  She didn’t think I needed to say anything else.  Jay and I found this beauty up on the 3rd floor of an abandoned church in Detroit last summer.  Due to the recent rain, there was standing water in many of the abandoned buildings and this one was no different.  That might not sound like such a great thing, but it gave us lots of opportunity for reflections. 

 

The most common item I find in abandoned buildings are pianos.  I think it’s because people don’t want to move them when they leave the buildings.  Most of the pianos I find are in rough shape.  This one was no different (all the keys and internal items were striped out), except the woodwork on this piano was amazing.  I think someone should go back and pull this piano out to save it.  Maybe make a kids bed out of it or something.  I think someone creative could do something amazing with it.
