where do you find these places? Is it just word of mouth?

There are four ways to find places.
1. Driving around.
2. Asking around.
3. Research.
4. Social Networking.

Not necessarily in that order.

Great work. I found you through abandonedplaces and really love your photos, so I hope you don't mind but I'm adding you. :)

Kudos you hit pay dirt again.

I also checked out the images that anthrochica posted.

It is very interesting how different the two of you shot the same building at the same time.

I hope you keep finding more great places to explore.

Those girls are talented photographers. And they're a pleasure to hang with to boot.

You are a lucky man.

I have always felt that the fun stuff in life is even better if there are lovely talented intelligent women around to share in the experience. You seem to appreciate this as well.

I am old enough to remember when women were still being told that young women are not allowed to do some activities "that is a boys only activity". Our household was very pro women's rights. I still have some job sites that when I walk onto them with a female assistant the attitude that women should never be involved in heavy construction rears it's ugly head. The worst was when I was called to a job site to confirm the details on the drawings because the PE that had stamped the sheet was a woman and the site foreman did not trust any woman to be able to the engineering "math" (I was pissed as hell).

So, I raise a glass to you. I wish you many more Urbex excursions and may you find more adventurous fun loving guides (of both genders) to watch your back.

Despite appearances, the reason I'm always exploring with women is because they have proven to be more reliable. They always show up when they say they will.

So far, I've only had one male guide that didn't cancel. And even he didn't show up until after I was already inside the building.

last two photos are nice piece of art.
first one as well.

(incredible how years have forgotten those machines)

(you have been showing me something different, with all these new civilization adventures, double dangers because humans are the most destructive animals ever, so I thank you, for, more than just fun and good photo experiences, this is an ode to Nature's revenge...)

"Ode to Nature's Revenge". That sound great! I'm going to leech that off of you and title one of my sets that.
