Description Can you find B? He's most definitely in his natural habitat.

One more experiment with HDR. Photo taken at an abandoned water mill off Route 61 in Centralia, PA.

ohai B! He looks so delighted poking his head out the doorway right next to that huge GET OUT. Bless his black little heart.

I love this picture to bits. All the lovely colors with the grey sky and B's little head and the lulzily ominous graffiti and ... whoa, there's an eye graffiti'd on the back wall. o_o It looks like it might be red, too. Absolutely fricking amazing.

Only somewhat on topic, but this is the sort of thing that keeps me up at night: Why is that tire there? Was it there when the place was functional? Why on earth would a vandal bring in a random tire? Is this something I should know but don't?

The eye in the background was red, and bleeding. Next to it, it said "always watching" XD We thought it was so neat.

Ooh, the colours! So pretty! *starry eyed*
I love abandoned buildings. But I gotta say that abandoned farmhouses pwn, especially when they're full of rusted machinery.
Health & Safety nightmare, but fuck that, it looks brilliant
I love your photography!

It is! I'm in Scotland so there are a billion and one abandoned buildings kicking around, which is pretty cool.
And you are very welcome

"I've got the kettle on.."

I think I'm falling in love with HDR photography. All the contrast of colors and brightness looks so beauitful. And fits with B unusally well

Hot damn, until I read the artist's comments I had no idea B was even there... creepy.

That said, I really like this. I know you guys have been dying to try a grungey, dilapidated location, so I imagine you had a ball - and what's more, it really paid off. And the HDR is fun times, too. The colours!! XD

Oh, hi! B is lurking ever so wonderfully.

The color in this is just amazing! What was the weather like? It seems overcast which really works for the otherworldly feel.

It was wonderfully overcast! To the point that we swore we were going to get poured on. Instead, we lucked out and got rained on during the ride back home.

The colors are in part a result of the heavily overcast weather, and HDR editing.
