i went a wandering yesterday as well, not trespassing though, for obvious reasons...
did find myself on treacherous footing a few times, and i did think "oh great, here is where i break my ankle and have to explain to someone what i was doing when i call for help"...

Big Grin i think the razor wire was enough to discourage me. that and the fact the building wasn't in use, but the car park still is.

Razor wire would have put me off too, but the one I went too you just had to squeeze through a hole and get scratches all up your back and have a load of bricks fall on you....

Where abouts were you exploring, mister Remote?

I was about to give a little speech about all the decrepit buildings I would take pictures of if I had a camera, but it turns out that you've bloody well done it already. Razz

Oooh, Domi...you've whet my appetite for trespassing! Looks like an awesome adventure.

Remote, too. Big Grin

Aisha, no reason not to go and shoot some yourself. Glasgow looks like it's got plenty of abandoned buildings!

It is at North Evia, near a small town calledLimni. I could not find an English language site so if you'd like more pics, click, scroll down to "foto album" place the cursor on the left of the image and click.

Ooooh, abandoned buildings are strangely beautiful and creepy at the same time! Lovely pics, Domi and Remote! Smile

I just stepped outside onto the balcony to get my washing in, and was surprised with this view:



Biggest rainbow I've seen in years! It's much more impressive in reality, but still.

A regulation eye poking stick? Properly sharpened as required in case you find a clown and have to check his life functions?

Is that one of those 'automated bike garage' thingies, made up to look like a tree, Lester?

Although it also, if it were a 'Womping Willow', appears to be preparing to remove that cyclist's 'ead.
