Long time no see, the Dancing Ghost of the School. After a long time of being busy attending our own businesses, we managed to find a day we both had off work and other activites. We fondly remembered our previous photo shoot and decided to take a rematch. There were few suitable locations around, whereContinue reading “The Working Class Girl”

The Cursed School Part II
After seeing the texts described at the end of the last post, this place started really giving us the chill. I mean they were texts, just texts written by teenagers feeling desperation in this city of hopelessness and social problems. But still they were something different. “Are we alone in the Universe”, asks a SwedishContinue reading “The Cursed School Part II”
The Cursed School Part I
The evening was perfect. The sun was setting behind the sea, the camera of my new phone displayed excellent qualities. Excellent for the time being, at least. We thought the time was proper now to go to our main target of the roadtrip. The place was in a working class neighbourhood. Or, well, everything inContinue reading “The Cursed School Part I”
Windy City Tour
No roadtrip, no summer. At least that’s how I think, and luckily I have like minded friends. We packed our bags and headed towards their hometown, toured a few churches and other must to see -places. Of course I had told them what I was interested about and of course they agreed to join me.Continue reading “Windy City Tour”
Little Stubs of Details from the Workers’ Institute
Okay, this story is getting familiar already. Another friend of mine saw my pictures and heard my stories about my urbex hobby and asked, if she could accompany me. I had a terrible crush on her, so of course I said yes. As there was nothing new abandoned in our town, we took to theContinue reading “Little Stubs of Details from the Workers’ Institute”
The Game’s Over, Boys
I hadn’t even finished my tour around the Vilnius Palace of Concerts and Sports, when I already had spotted something in the woods. A majestic gate surrounded by an old fence. The place seemed a little strange. It looked like another monument, but it also looked like being demolished at the same time. And monumentalContinue reading “The Game’s Over, Boys”
Another Bad Quality Soviet Masterpiece
My Lithuanian vacation continued in the capital Vilnius. The place was lovely and lively, the weather was as good as I could get. I spent the days roaming around town visiting restaurants, bars and terraces, I did all the sightseeing I could do. I had very little time left of my stay when I decidedContinue reading “Another Bad Quality Soviet Masterpiece”
An Unwanted Monument
I finished school and decided to reward myself with a holiday. Lithuania was cheap, unexplored territory and I had some friends there, so I booked tickets without any bigger plans. I contacted my friends, who lived in Kaunas, and agreed to meet them on the second day of my holiday. I wrote to social mediaContinue reading “An Unwanted Monument”
Saying Goodbye at the end of the Summer
The last few posts have been more about demolition than exploring abandoned buildings. I believe these two things go hand in hand, after all they are successive phases in the life cycle of a building. First it’s planned, then constructed, abandoned and eventually demolished. Sometimes demolition comes quickly, sometimes the place sits abandoned for decades.Continue reading “Saying Goodbye at the end of the Summer”
From Coaches to Couches and Fading Away
I had been looking at this place for a long time seeking a way in. It was a massive, U-shaped complex on the outskirts of the town, and its latest inhabitant had been a furniture store. The chain was declared bankrupt in 2011, and since then the place had been empty. It stood there peacefullyContinue reading “From Coaches to Couches and Fading Away”
