We need a Latin term for the fetish of looking at abandoned buidings (like derelictophilia or abando-rioja-erotica)... I'll go away and think of one.

the groups of people who do this as a hobby (break into derelict old industrial buildings - or navigate sewerage system tunnels etc.) generally go under the name "urbex" (urban exploration)

I'll ask William if he fancies it, too. Hmmm, if only there was some kind of there was some kind of house that's open to the public nearby where we could discuss the exhibition afterwards.

Not bad seeing at the time we were the richest country in the world by far.

[Bruce Rioja]

Fascinating that, Hoboh. Thanks for sharing it.

[TANGODANCER]

Great pics Hoboh. Cheers.

Just got home from a whistle stop business trip to London. I took my camera and tripod and managed to grab some time to take these. A bit clichéd, but I'm quite pleased with the results. I had hoped to catch the 'blue hour', but the last presentation we were forced to sit through dragged on just that bit too long.

It is hard to believe that sheep is real...

[TANGODANCER]

Splendid work by both. Keep em coming.

[bobo the clown]

Well it is, Monty.

Yep AH .. I did ... and gloves and robbers hat and, as you know, I'm almost Leeds-like about wearing such garb.

There were a series of cliffs if, maybe 100-120 feet. I don't do heights but they weren't obvious. I took the view that if I kept the sheep between me and the edge I was safe.

[Montreal Wanderer]

Well it is, Monty.

I can see why Welshmen are so attracted - they like that enigmatic look.
