Canker’s Home – “Für den sauberen Tisch” / ” For the clean table”

This is NOT a representative photo of the location…. …but I thought is worth to show. because someone has used the “Für den sauberen Tisch” / ” For the clean table” – buckets as  lids for the toilet drain tubes 🙂 This is a phots of the first s set of phots of the location “Canker’s home”, which is another set from my ABANDONED places tour ’14.

Heinz’ bus

    This bus, I’ve seen today in Munich, close to the residence. It remembers be to old movies of Heinz Erhardt, such as “Das kann unseren Willi doch nicht erschüttern“. Not that I like this kind of stuff, but it represents a kind of awareness of life of that time… ( more new photos also in D40OOM.eu [C] )        

Tilt-Shift trials

I just came back from a trip to Japan with a ‘Lensbaby‘s ‘Control Freak’. This is a free adjustable tilt-shift optics with exhangable lens and aperture plates. It’s by far not usable for precise work, such as architecture photography, but is allows a wide degree of freedom for artistic works. Here two examples from of Munich’s Olpymic statium. The first one is a kind of classic tilt-shift style. The second one also, but more my style… Here a first series                              

Flame cut mill

This is another hint to a photoseries I have made during my ABANDONED places tour ’14: The ‘russian flame cut mill‘ I’ve found it in a city of east germany. Interestingly the FLICKR-based ‘flickriver’ showen further views if this place. As you can see there, this place is not really interesting from the documentation point of view. Anyway, I have tried to point out some perspectives interessting form me. Judge on your own, what you prefer and let me know.    

WORDTRAVELER – Madeira

In June 2014, we have visited the island of Madeira / Portugal in the middle of the atlantic ocean. This place is really unique: The little island of about 20x50km contains a bunch of interesting sights which are offering great scenes for photographers. Let’s start with some street scenes of a small village in the mountains taken during their cherry festival. You will see, that it is not only about those fruits:

Destillery

  Here some further impressions from the distillery I have visited on my ABANDONED places tour ’14. Can you imagine what you see on the photos? – let me know in a short comment. More photos of the destillery, you can find here.

abandoned factory 1 /C

This factory we have explored on our ABANDONED places tour ’14 in the south-east of Germany. This place we have found early in the morning od DAY 6. Your can find HERE some other interesting phots of this location. The day of our visit we’ve has excellent light. The narrow  windows on the left side created amating light structures.                   .    The main part of the factory was a big hall with an traveling overhead crane under the ceiling. The hanging chains exposed to the sunlight gave a nice contrast to the old walls.               …

The green THING

  This big green thing and the other one in the green room, I have explored in an abandoned train depot in the east of germany. The machines are that big and heavy, I guess, that they are the only objects left in the huge facilities. Here the photos BBW-I and BBW-II I took the photos also on the ABANDONED places tour easter ’14.  

Rail Depot

This is a photo taken in an abandoned rail depot somewhere in the east of Germany. This special room has impressed me much: the moss like a green carpet, the hughe tubes al around the room and the abandoned chair in the impressive light. Here the photo series (part 1) H – I on OOM      

ABANDONED places tour 2014

Easter ’14, sligthtly different – I’ve been traveling trough the north of Bavaria, Thuringia and Saxony searching – no easter eggs – but hidden, abandoned places.
