📷 SteemitPhotoChallenge #43 Entry - Derelict: "Abandoned Apartments"

Ah abandoned places, urban exploration, derelict dwellings, are some things I also enjoy photographing when I'm not out shooting nature. My friend and I visited this abandoned building in northern Taiwan, after spotting it from the road when we drove by. There were still some furnishings and belongings that remained, and some rooms showed signs of occupancy by the less fortunate.

A few weeks after we explored this place, a dead body was discovered here by someone else, spooky!

The equipment I used for this shot was a Canon EOS M with a 10-22mm at 10mm.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing

Thank you @steemfuzzy, my pleasure =)

Great shot, I think the doors give it a familiarity that emphasizes the abandonment.

Thank you @mweich, nice interpretation, I hadn't thought of that when I took it, perhaps subconsciously I framed the door where there was an opening in the blades of grass!

Accidental or not, it works!

Oh cool shot. So creepy - and there was the required dead body. I mean if you kill someone, where else would you drop the corpse?

Thanks @getonthetrain, thank goodness we weren't the ones to discover the body!

Great stuff! i will follow you! Please check my content as well, I am new to steem but posted some info on urbex and will post more as soon as I have some time. I have lots of pictures from places all over Europe :) good luck!

Spectacular shot! Kinda reminds me of something I saw on the movie "It Followd."

Thank you so much @michael14876 :)

Great photo, thank you for sharing. Where was it taken?

Upvoted and following you!
Have a look at my post about an abandoned hotel in Mozambique https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@rbfromsa/abandoned-hotel-xai-xai-mozambique, I think you might like it.
Please feel free to follow me @rbfromsa.

Thank you @rbfromsa, it was shot in Taiwan, will definitely check out your post :)

I like the angle you chose to shoot this image. Looking up through the weeds gives poignancy to the dereliction of the buildings.

Thank you for the awesome feedback @lavenderblue!

I love that photo, it amazes me that big buildings, can get neglected like that, and that no use can be found for it, as you said some homeless people stayed in the building, I think a building like that could be converted to a shelter for the homeless!!
Thanks for sharing

Thank you @rynow, that would be a great use for an otherwise useless building :)

Hopefully you went there with some back up. That looks like a prime spot to get kidnapped and lose a kidney. Here's to hoping you still got 2 . But great shot.

Thank you @bigram13, yeah it's prudent to bring a buddy along to these kind of places.

great brother

Looks like a really cool place to explore, did you go inside and look around?

Yup, we went into some of the units, and up to the roof as well.

cool, would love to see some more of those pictures

I might just make a post on it, didn't want to include the others as this is for the #SteemitPhotoChallenge =)

makes sense, I'll keep an eye out for that other post

awesome! I love B/W ones :) Thanks for sharing! upvoted and resteemed :) I do have my second underwater world post out! Maybe take a look at the photos! Hope you like em :)

Thank you so much @redtravels, will definitely check it out!
