Detroit Reflections

Long before our current worldwide lock down…..  a few of us went to Detroit to explore some abandoned buildings.  This is from one of the abandoned auto manufacturing facilities.  It rained hard the day before and that morning, which made for some great puddle reflections.  This was from the attic space in the large factory.  I loved the freight elevator in the background.

Kettering High School

This was an interesting spot to say the least.  It was such a unique design for a school.  There were a few times, when I didn’t know where I was in the building.  Normally schools are very box like structures with symmetrical designs.  Not this place.  I think the architect took it upon himself/herself to make it totally different.  Even these windows at the front door are not like anything you’d see in most schools.

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.

Branch Bank

This is a photo I took about a year ago, while Blair and I explored a bunch of abandoned buildings in a town outside of Pittsburgh.  This was a bank with teller windows, a vault, etc…you know…typical bank items.  As you can see, the back wall of the bank has collapsed.  This was a great urbex spot.

Atlas Statue

I realize this statue has probably been photographed more times then a normal person can count.  But I wanted to capture it in my own unique way and thought I did.  At least I thought so, until tonight.  I went to Google to find details about this statue and found a bunch of pictures taken basically the same way.  Oh well…..    This statue sits in front of the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.
