Fantastic shot – very eerie – even the walls look like they’re embedded with communicable diseases!

Michael Farruggia

You get such fantastic shots, stay well and safe, you do go to great links and risks to get these wonderful images. :)
blackoutangel replied
thank you very much. i love these places and i hope that i can impart that love and the sense of awe i feel in these ruins in my shots. i have gone through a lot to get them, but am very fortunate to have been able to do so :)

Doorways and stairs tend to conjure up all sorts of things in your imagination, the fact that I’m looking at a stairway which has yellow tape across it, makes it even more intriguing :) You have captured texture and lighting, creating a story one wants to explore – well done!
Angel Gold
The stories that staircase could tell…love this work
