Story of April

What.a.month! It’s been so crazy. I’ve seen 6 counties in 2 weeks (mostly for exploring), including a country I hadn’t been to before; Romania. Times were great on the trips I’ve had…

  • This is a photo of an abandoned gasometer that I shot three years ago. A gasometer is basically used to temporarily store gas that was recovered from coal or a factory and used for industrial or private purposes. In the first half of the 20th century this was a very common type of building. Most of the gasometers have since then been demolished due to the introduction of natural gas.

  • This is a photo of an abandoned church that's been erected in the 14th century. The main altar, whereabout I'm standing when taking this shot, is from the 17th century. Some of the statues in here are from the 16th and 17th century. After being abandoned halfway around the 20th century the municipality is taking care of the building. They have secured it from burglary and repaired to roof to prevent further interior damage. About 5 years ago I had my first visit to this beautiful place and last year I returned. Nearly nothing changed.

  • This photo is taken beneath a bridge that's been built in 2010 and isn't abandoned. Behind me is a door to cross over to the other side of the bridge, by walking beneath it. I wanted to share this photo anyway because the architecture is amazing. I love the curved shape. Recently I went back for a new shoot but unfortunately found out there was a festival here and the terrain was covered with stages and booths. Rather disapointed I walked back to my car and just when I left a married couple came by with another photographer, most likely to do their wedding shoot at the bridge. Here I thought my day ended bad..

  • This is the last photo I took of this beautiful chapel. I was standing upstairs looking at the amazing architecture and decay. At the end of the 19th century this beautiful, and now in restoration, chapel was built. The architect promised to design a chapel in old Gothic style, and lived up to that promise. The chapel is surrounded by an immense garden. Nature is clearly taking over.

  • This is a photo that I've taken in an abandoned factory in Ukraine. The room I was standing in had a view into the courtyard where supplies used to be brought in. We drove past this building while exploring the west of the country, looking for abandoned buildings or other scenes to capture. It felt like we were driving back in time. The villages, cars and buildings we saw looked amazing and photogenic. They were quite colourful as well. We had plenty of time which made us explore every inch of this property. While usually I wouldn't have even stopped here, knowing it was as stripped as it was, I took some shots that I'm quite happy with. Different than usual. Hope you like it. • • #derelictplaces #ig_urbex #ig_abandoned #theforgottenspaces #decay #abandonedafterdark #decaying #jj_urbex #derelict #abandonedplace #fstoppers #ILLGRAMMERS #way2ill #AGameofTones #urbanromantix #architecturelovers #kings_abandoned #all_is_abandoned #urbex #urban #beautyindecay #abandonedfactory #courtyard
  • This is a photo that I've taken in a castle that's been built in the 13th century. It's surrounded by a lot of beautiful forest and meadow. After being abandoned for a very long time about 10 years ago someone bought the castle and had plans to restore it to its former glory. Unfortunately it stayed with making plans. The building has only been deteriorating.

  • This is a photo that I've taken in a control room of a mostly stripped building. It seemed to be one of the only things that was left slightly intact. The wooden desk and the antique panels look amazing. Not knowing this control room was located in an abandoned building that was actually on active terrain, it was an exciting adventure not trying to be seen when we saw workers nearby.

  • This photo is taken in a huge abandoned building with a beautiful garden. It used to be a discotheque / dancing complex and has been abandoned for a few years. I believe this is part of the restaurant bit. The photo is taken last year.
