It is fascinating to take photos in old abandoned buildings. I am by no means the only one who thinks so. I already had real experience with the bed stories in the Waldau in 1986.
In Bodie my interests were finally strengthened.

Urbex – Abandoned Places
Whether we want it or not, buildings have their own soul. Something like their own spirit. When a building is no longer needed, this spirit often lives on and can develop wonderfully.
Urbex – The fascination of abandoned places!
A kind of journey into the past.
Here you can see a first start. More Urbex-eries with lots of lights soon followed. Some can be seen in the chapter Lichter – Playing with Light.

The chapters
Bodie - California, Ghost Town
Bodie - once the second largest city in California. Thanks to the gold rush, it experienced a real boom from 1877 to around 1887. From then on it went downhill, now a ghost town remains. Bodie is located east of San Francisco in California on the border with Nevada. If you are in the area, be sure to visit!

The music in the slide video, the Quarantine Waltz, played by Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum, is heartbreakingly beautiful, just like the golden wild west age was back then with the (possibly) slightly leaden air.

Zollverein World Heritage Site
It was a tour in 2004 in Essen. Today the buildings are the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein. Many cultural events now take place there. It's worth a visit! Zollverein.de
And while you're in the area, visit the Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site
Berlin – Tacheles
The Berlin area is also ideal for Urbex explorations. Probably not for much longer, as there is a huge construction boom. Tacheles, once the art house on Oranienburger Strasse, no longer exists.
Here are some photos from the last few days, photographed on August 19, 2011.
The Tacheles art house was finally cleared on the morning of September 4, 2012 at 7 a.m.

Mining area – Esch-sur-Alzette
In the former mining area between Saarbrücken and Esch-sur-Alzette, some abandoned places can still be seen.
