The vast and cavernous spaces of the defunct (but now repurposed) and geometrically glorious Brooklyn Army Terminal (Building B) in Brooklyn, New York City. The light, the shadow and the lines of this place always make this a special place to document. #Architecture #Urbex #EastCoastKin #industrial

A re-up. Please consider giving a little in aid to the artists who lost much of their livelihoods in the massive fire in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NYC last week. Fire gutted the 1870's-era renovated old warehouse; also water damage. Thanks much. -Mr. P. www.gofundme.com/f/help-red-h...

The remains of a once-beautiful high school auditorium in Highland Park, Michigan, that was put to the torch by arsonists several springs ago. Truly, this place was a masterpiece that was annihilated by vandals of the worst kind... #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #exploration #photography #Detroit

Please consider giving a little in aid to the artists who lost much of their livelihoods in the massive fire in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NYC the other night. Fire gutted the 1870's-era renovated old warehouse; also water damage. Thanks much for considering. -Mr. P. www.gofundme.com/f/help-red-h...

The Michigan Avenue lift-bridge over the Buffalo River in Buffalo, New York. Lines and geometry and rust on a warm and gloomy June day this past summer... #architecture #urbex #EastCoastKin #bridge #photography #Buffalo #BuffaloNY #NewYork

This has been churning in my mind for months, and I finally was able to get it out into words in a new Substack post at "Mr. P. Explores." A look at TWO different Americas; what could have been, and what we actually got. mrpexplores.substack.com/p/mourning-a... #America #Futurism #MrPExplores

Is it me, or does it feel like we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop? For the hammer to fall and for the complete end of First Amendment rights to kick in? To wake up and find ourselves on a list for disagreeing, or to find our internet cut off. I'm not being hyperbolic here; true fears.

Abandonment photography can and is, in my mind, a commentary on how we treat history in our country. Especially when it comes to schools. The ruins of old schools equates to our nation's neglect and abandonment of critical thinking, forward movement and a future worth having... #abandoned #urbex

The old and defunct bathhouse at Jacumba Hot Springs, California, a mere few hundred feet from the Mexican border. Once, this was a popular spot to relax in the hot springs that "healed." Later, a fire took out the roof and upstairs rooms, leaving it as you see here. #abandoned #urbex #photography

Scenes from the long defunct Moundsville Penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia. Opened in 1865 and closed in 1995, it is now maintained as a historical landmark. #abandoned #urbex #prison #EastCoastKin #photography #Moundsville #WestVirginia

The Black River "Ghost Ship" near Lorain, Ohio. A former Canadian ferry left here years ago by its former owner, now sinking into the mud on the Black River. For years, no one has been able to establish ownership, and so here she's sat... #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #shipwreck

Scenes from inside the decades-defunct Moundsville Penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia. Closed in the 1990's, this massive old prison once held some extremely dangerous and desperate men. #urbex #exploration #EastCoastKin #scape #photography #WestVirginia #Moundsville #prison

Scenes from inside an abandoned church in the post-industrial and sadly diminished city of Gary, Indiana. At last report, this church was now the home of a stray dog and her puppies. #abandoned #urbex #exploration #EastCoastKin #photography #Gary #Indiana

Recovered slides found in an abandoned ketchup/condiment factory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Not my shots, but recovered after digitizing them and cleaning them up. A treasure trove of historical shots from a place that no longer exists. #abandoned #urbex #Pittsburgh #foundphotographs #Heinz

Four scenes from Atalaya Castle in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina; a former artists' winter home and studio where once sculptures and artwork were created and brought into the world. Now, it stands as a historical site one can wander through. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #Atalaya #SouthCarolina

The sad remnants of a once grand and massive high school, now abandoned and decaying, in St. Louis, Missouri. It never ceases to amaze me how much detail and effort we once put into our public education, both in richness of curriculum and architecture... #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography

Under and around the 1st Avenue Bridge near downtown Los Angeles, California; gritty and sketchy and as interesting as anyplace back in the Rust Belt, thousands of miles away. #railroad #urbex #bridge #EastCoastKin #photography #urban #LosAngeles #Caliornia

The abandoned Dunes Motel on Route 66, just outside of Barstow, California. Once a stopping point for travelers along the "Mother Road," this small motel now sits vacant under the intense desert sun, waiting for occupants that will never come. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #Route66

Studies of an abandoned service garage and gas station on the outskirts of Baker, California. Once a place where one would fuel up before continuing on to Las Vegas or Barstow, it now sits like a lonesome sentinel, watching the world go by. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #California

A new episode of "Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road" on Spotify, Apple and Amazon Podcasts! In this episode, part one of a triumphant return to Southern California to explore abandoned ruins of the Mojave Desert and beyond! Drop in and have a listen! -Mr. P. #abandoned #urbex #California #MrPExplores

Light and shadow perspectives inside an abandoned and roofless auto shop in the Bronx, New York City. The sun was hitting this place perfectly to provide this unique situation that day! #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #NYC #Bronx #exploration

Wrecked and rusted, but still old beauties; forgotten cars found in Bombay Beach, California, now a part of an outsider art installation known as the Bombay Beach Drive In. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #BombayBeach #SaltonSea #automobiles

A decaying and rust-encrusted old factory, abandoned since the 1990's, in Ohio. Once making synthetic fabrics, this massive plant now crumbles to the ground, brick by brick. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #industrial #exploration #factory

An abandoned cafe in the near-abandoned town of Desert Center, California. Once a thriving and bustling eatery where truck drivers and weary vacationers could stop for meatloaf and apple pie, it now stands open and slowly decaying in the desert heat. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography

A forgotten laboratory inside an abandoned Rust Belt fabrics plant, that once helped the US will World War II. Materials were developed here that allowed for synthetic cloths of all kinds; abandoned in the 1990's. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #industrial

An abandoned warehouse, possible machine shop in a dead town somewhere in the Mojave Desert. No idea what this place might have been used for, but it seems they were working on the shells of old decommissioned diesel train engines? Your guess is as good as mine! #abandoned #urbex #photography

A few choice selections from a recent revisit to the eerily desolate and serene silence of Bombay Beach, California at golden hour. The "Drive In" there, an amazing outsider art installation, features old and rusting automobiles galore. #abandoned #urbex #BombayBeach #photography #California

A sun-bleached and abandoned diner somewhere in the Mojave Desert between Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. One a place for weary travelers to stop and have a quick meal, this place is now a gutted reminder of what once was... #abandoned #urbex #photography #EastCoastKin #California

The abandoned wreckage of what was once the Lake Delores Water Park, midway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Once a crystal-clear chlorinated tourist destination, not all that one can hear is the wind and the moan of the nearby Interstate. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #California

A look at an abandoned factory outside of Jackson, Michigan; fire, decay and entropy at work on slowly tearing down this behemoth, one brick at a time. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #Michigan

Dim recesses and lit up spaces inside and out at the Russell Industrial Center in Detroit, Michigan. While much of this vast old automobile plant now houses businesses and studios, much is still as empty as the day it closed. #abandoned #urbex #windows #scape #EastCoastKin #Detroit #industrial

And just like that, over three and half hours in a mindblowing distance up in the sky, I went from mountains, sage, and 117-degree weather of southwest desert, back to the damp, wet and humid green of Northeast Ohio. An amazing trip with SO many photographic opportunities; can't wait to share!

Catchin' the train; Surf Avenue at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, on a cloudy summer morning in July. Being from Ohio, the concept of elevated trains like this were something I could not pass up. #architecture #urbex #train #NYC #ConeyIsland #photography #EastCoastKin

More of the gritty magic that is Coney Island (Brooklyn, NYC) in the summer morning hours; serenity as only this place can bring it. Before the crowds, when the whole place reveals its secrets, when the energy is flowing and you can feel it. #ConeyIsland #NYC #Urbex #streetscenes #photography

This song...this song hits me in the deepest of feels. Loss. Nostalgia. The earliest parts of driving long distance in the dark before dawn.

The grimy and silent remains of an abandoned power plant in the Rust Belt. Once fueling the productivity of an entire city's worth of industrial endeavors, this plant is now still, silent and drowsing in the echoes of what once was. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #industrial #factory

A mélange of photos from a long abandoned ice skating rink, part of a larger abandoned resort in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Once, this place was booming with honeymooning couples, but now, silence and decay... #abandoned #urbex #NewYork #EastCoastKin #BlueSKyArtShow #photography #resort

The rusting superstructure of a massive railroad bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on a bright early-summer day. The light and shadows down beneath were exquisite. #architecture #urbex #railroad #bridge #EastCoastKin #photography #Pittsburgh #Pennsylvania

The fanciest washroom I have ever witnessed in my exploratory travels; inside an abandoned mansion in rural Ohio, the greens and blues and gilded beauty of a long gone age were on display. #abandoned #urbex #Ohio #EastCoastKin #photography #Architecture #tile

Shadow and light on a wintery day; the abandoned and long since demolished Hess and Clark Factory in Ashland, Ohio. Truly a unique factory in its day. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #industrial #factory #shadows #Ohio

The ravaged recesses of a library book storage room inside an abandoned high school in Flint, Michigan. The depth of the waste here is a true travesty. Also, sadly, a statement on how our country thinks of public education as a whole... #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #school #Flint

Snaps in time of Westchester Avenue near where it crosses the Bronx River in the Bronx, New York City. Just a slice of life deep in one of the world's most diverse, gritty and alive cities on an August afternoon in 2023. #exploration #urbex #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #photography

Inside the remains of Ashland, Ohio's Hess and Clark factory, once famous and renowned for producing a wide range of animal health and human skincare products. It was demolished in 2021, and the land there still remains vacant, despite city promises. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #scape
