Abandoned Spaces Follow-Up

I found another one!

Abandoned Spaces

Listen to this while you read:

I love abandoned spaces. There's something super cool and romantic to me about exploring and finding beauty in a place that someone else wrote off! So it made me happy the other day when I was working and we ran across this platform that had been hit really hard by Katrina and had essentially been left to the elements. It looked cool to me and it was really foggy outside so I felt isolated (which is great when you've been living around five other guys for the past two weeks), like I was off exploring just by myself. The whole thing was dilapidated and all the fixtures and pipes (and sometimes the ground) were rusting off.

Here are some of the pictures I took while I was there:

There was an old office sitting on a bridge halfway between two of the platforms. It looked like no one had been in there since the hurricane, everything just the way they left it before the wind and and rain took their toll. On the door were a few standard signs including this:

You see silly signs like this all over the oil fields but this one ended up being rather ironic when you opened the office door. Trash and binders littered the floor while the desk looked like it had been through, well... a hurricane. It was cool thinking I may have been the first one to go in there since the storm. The floor tiles were fading and cracked, leaving holes in some of the ground open to the hundred foot drop to the ocean below.

Sometimes it's tough to find enjoyment and solitude when working away from home, so I'm glad I found this place. I figured I'd share it and maybe spread some joy your way!

Here's a link to an article I like about other abandoned spaces. I really love the Detroit, Chernobyl and City Hall Subway photos.

Bye for now, friends. Hopefully I'll run into some other cool stuff out here and be able to share it with you!
