For the unfamiliar - urban exploration is the term generally given to exploring places (most often abandonments) where the general public don't usually go. I've been actively involved in urban exploration (and the photography aspect) for roughly a decade - and have visited/photographed well over 100 abandoned locations over the years. Generally my preference is exploring abandoned industrial or commercial places (factories, psych hospitals, prisons, schools, etc.) - but sometimes enjoying checking out old abandoned houses and farms. I've started this group to share some of my pics, discuss the hobby with others and hopefully have the opportunity to check out pics from others with similiar interests.
