Four of my favorite spots n' shots out on the road exploring over the last year, taken on my Nikon D750.

A snowy view of Detroit, Michigan's Ambassador Bridge from a gutted and gargantuan cold storage building, circa 2020. This building has since been commandeered and is being turned into apartments and businesses. At the time, it was completely empty and without windows.

The remains of the very unique and "off the ground" Belle Isle Zoo on Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. These were taken back in 2022; the structures were demolished in this past year to make way for park renovations and renewal.

An old storage garage in the metro-Detroit, Michigan area that was closed and abandoned; filled with old and long forgotten cars from a much different age in the Motor City.

The empty innards of the abandoned and since demolished Detroit Copper and Brass Rolling Mill near the Delray neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. We caught this place mere days before the wrecking ball moved in to end its physical place in history.

The gorgeous greens and yellows of what was once the fantastic auditorium of Foch Intermediate School in Detroit, Michigan. Opened in 1925, closed in 2004 and demolished in 2024.

Scenes from an abandoned and sealed up hospital on Detroit, Michigan's southwest side. Sadly, this place was absolutely savaged by scrappers and edgy kids setting fires a few weeks after these photos were taken. It never seems to fail...

Remnants; 2021 captures of the insides of the abandoned and since demolished Kettering High School in Detroit, Michigan.

The rusty gloom inside the vast spaces of the long defunct Carrie Furnace; once a US Steel blast furnace near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Scenes from the massive stone beast that is the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. Defunct, but now run as a museum to a very grim institution.

The South 26th Street Bridge crossing over the inlet from the Schuylkill River into the Philadelphia Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The mammoth structure that is the Brooklyn Army Terminal Building B on a warm summer's day in 2025; Brooklyn, NYC, New York.

The bridge carrying the Delaware Expressway, I-95, over the Schuylkill River near the Philadelphia Naval Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Decay inside of a former and abandoned food storage warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

The silent winter ruins of an abandoned steel facility in western New York in the early days of 2023.

The utter ruins of what was once the gorgeous rotunda of the JN Adams Hospital in Western New York. Once has to imagine what this must have looked like at its peak.

The dim, ruined and abandoned Brutalist hulk of what was once George Pepper School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as explored in the early months of 2020.

There are always those few that will take a post about an abandoned building or neighborhood, and turn it into a chance to make political charged comments or worse, racist diatribes. To those, I say: just keep scrolling and don't bother. A block is guaranteed.
