    It’s Been So Long Since I’ve Seen Something Incredible

    September 15, 2014 / 16 Comments

    Ever since I can remember, I have always been fascinated with abandoned places, as if I am somehow drawn to them by a higher, unseen power.  It all began when I was very young, and a friend of mine at the time and I decided to sneak into an abandoned barn down the street from his parents house, and what was inside was a virtual time capsule, a well-organized horde of sorts filled with priceless relics from a much earlier time.

    Rose Haven’s Abandoned Swimming Pool

    April 16, 2011 / 59 Comments

UPDATE:  The following photograph has been graciously provided to me since this post was first published. UPDATE: More pictures provided by Jim Velsor.
