Abandoned Manor

Olympus OM40 Program

Tamron 28-70mm - f/3.5-4.5

 

As we accidentally found this beast of a manor, I was glad that I brought the Olympus, The only problem being, that after two shots I found myself in the middle of nowhere, in Belgium, on a Sunday morning, with two empty button cell battery's. Analogue photographers may confirm... Sometimes they last a whole year... sometimes a month. Anyway, I had to return home with these two shots as I didn't bring spares... Now retrieved from the old box... The terrain and building were easily accessed. Inside we found a king-size staircase and many places where parts of the roof had come down (upstairs especially) Also, many homeless people had attempted to make this their residence as many burned out fireplaces, old mattresses and blankets were spread throughout the entire building. A shame to come around so unprepared.
