on the roof

There is always a first for everyone and this was the first time being on the roof of a very high (active) building (20 stories!). I can say now that being that high watching the city at midnight is amazing and i will definately be doing this again. There isnt much in this province to urban explore but if you look hard enough (in the few cities we have) you will find something.

I probably would not have done this if some explorers from alberta weren't with us this weekend and suggested the idea of climbing the building. So thank you to them for pushing my envelope of exploring and letting me try something new! I definately loved it.

industrial mayhem

Just recently an abandoned industrial operation was abandoned was demolished - it had sat abandoned for many years. Nothing is left - not even the housing for the workers. I wish i would have known because i would have gone out to get more pictures with my new camera. I guess that is all part of the hobby - you never really know when a locations status can change.

In its memory i decided to post some of my favorite pictures from a few trips i took out there.

creatures of the day & night

When we are on trips there is no shortage of animals, anything from birds like owls or ducks to frogs and then of course small mammals deer or bunnies. Here are some of my favorite animals i enjoy taking pictures of.

death of the animals

It seems no matter where we go we find dead animals. Animals that cannot get out of the building or some that just die due to a lack of food. Either way they are all over in all shapes and forms. Here are some of the most interesting dead animals i have found to date.

WARNING: DEAD ANIMAL PHOTO'S BELOW. IF YOU ARE SENSATIVE DO NOT SCROLL DOWN.

note: i am still not sure what this last animal was when it was alive.

small nightly trips

I have been on many small trips recently. Most of them to small locations like ghost towns, churches and schools. During the night is when i have been exploring but i have managed to get a couple of days when we had nicer weather. Here are some photographs from some of those trips.
