Urbex

Scanning a lot of the black and white photo's I've taken from the Willow Court/Royal Derwent Asylum today. It's kind of exciting. Photographing abandoned buildings has long been a passion of mine. I don't get to photographing much anymore, because these beautiful pieces of history are often wiped out by redevelopment. Which I can understand on one level, but often the redevelopment spoils, or doesn't take into account the nature of these places.

I've been down in in drains, the rivulet, crawled along pipes underground all the way to North Hobart. It's so interesting, like this other world.
