Urban Exploration - Urban Decay

Challenge #6 in the Urban Exploration - Urban Decay series. Hosted by Eyefull Tour.

Challenge has finished

Abandoned, disused relics of yesteryear. Factories, warehouses, workshops and associated machinery and equipment. Some places may have once been bustling with activity, now empty due to the passing of time. Try to use photographic creativity to invoke emotions of emptiness and desolation. The capture must be within a city / urban environment (not rural).
