Maison R - Madonna
Maison R has more religious stuff than I have seen at any other location, pictures, crosses, Madonna and Jesus adorn every room. The house even has its own chapel. Possibly the cleanest and tidiest room in the whole house. I’d known that this room was there so was happy to find it and photograph the statue in place when I explored the second floor. what a treat.

Crossness Pumpingstation and Panorama Heads
On Sunday Viveca and I went to Crossness Pumping Station. It was Open House London day and as we were a bit slow off the mark we hadn’t booked to go anywhere. Its basically a weekend where-lots of usually closed houses and architectural oddities a that are normally closed are opened up to the public.

ECVB - Organ Pipes
This is the money shot at ECVB. Right in front of the control room facing the four massive silver pipes that extend to the ceiling. From here the true majesty of the site can be seen, it really is awesome.

ECVB - The Sky is the Limit
This weekend we took a trip to Belgium. I’ve been previously a month or so ago and was quite unsuccessful at getting the images that I wanted, I was after some panorama images of the turbine hall, but unfortunately wasn’t well enough practised with the pano head so ended up coming away empty handed in that respect.
While I am working on the panoramas, I thought that I’d load up...

Chateau T - Enter If You Dare
This is what I have come to expect in mainland Europe. A wonderful house / castle left to rot, it’s such a shame. Its possible that the land owner also purchased some other local land and was asked as part of the purchase contract to look after this property. It’s not as unsound as it looks and being made of very heavy stone has lasted well all things considered, the roof is mostly...

Powerstation CT - Turbine Hall
This is one of the first places that turned me on to urbex. I’d seen images of another part of the facility and knew that I had to go one day. A couple of weeks ago my friend ROMANYWG and I ventured there at last. I wasn’t disappointed. The power station is pretty big and we only really had time to explore part of it. Another trip is required.
the strippers had been there and taken a...

Chateau Y - Adler
Its amazing when you find something like this in a room out urbexing. there was nothing else in the space excepting this old Alder sewing machine. I doubt it was put there by the (angry) owner, more than likely by another photographer, so thanks whoever you may be.
I tried several different views of this shot mostly from the other side of the room, I wanted to get the pleasant view out of the...
