Back from Tenerife. What a blast! I've not been that relaxed in a long time. The weather was beautiful, I left home in thick snow and got there to sun sea and sand. I just wish i had longer out there.

This is my last week before returning to Sheepland Wales and work at the Hostel. I do feel a little annoyed with myself that I didn't get more done in my time off, but some how I knew this would happen. I did however have time while on holiday to sit down and get some good decent sketches done in my sketch books. I'm quite amazed at the quality of art I can produce when not surrounded by my normal everyday distractions.
I've also got some good urban exploration in and finally found some reliable people to do it with. The past few weeks I've been to some totally breathtaking places so I thought I'd share a few pics!

Oh Btw, Eurofurence registration opened and was booked out within an hour or so (sad). I didn't register so won't see you there!

Holy F#@! those are some amazing pics. I am ridiculously jealous. I have been DYING to find any kind of abandoned place to visit out here but there are next to none that you can get into without getting arrested. :(

I want to hear stories though, to go with the pics! ;)

There are lots of stories with the pics.. But well.. My entry would turn into an epic entry -.-

I know what you mean about not finding anything though. When I was in spain the past few weeks I found next to nothing. Lucky for me the UK is totally filled with derelict goodness

The 'Cane Hill Room' is my favorite.

Definitely wish that kind of exploring could be done more in the US.

Cane Hill was actually the first Asylum I saw on an urbex website about 8 or 9 years ago. I think it was called The One UK or something by a guy named Andrew Tierney. I have wanted to visit ever since, sadly never got around to it...

Taa secoh! There are much better urbex photos out there but I'm quite proud at what I get, especially with such budget photo equipment.

Great Pics!

Cane Hill is surprising! Aside being dirty, it's amazing how in-tact it is, even the pillows! When did it close?

Carlton Theatre is brilliant too. I don't do UrbEx myself, but when looking at UrbEx photos, my favourite types of places are theatres/cinemas, hotels, and theme parks.
