the brake in........... title dedicated to jacki....DancingDolfin ;-)

2009.03.10

This old partially ripped down building in Nieuwpoort (Belgium) used to be a huge hotel. Due to the danger of collapsing sealings and so on, they decided to partially rip it down, and put fencing around the premisses to stop people from getting in and spending the night there, or set fire to the place as some kids already had tried. And also to stop nosy people with cameras to get injured, but i still found my way in ;-) And so it will stay until it is decided what will happen, either put something new, or take it all away and let the dunes take back it's place. I hope they decide for the second option.


Okay, let's go, but shhhht don't tell anyone

not many windows in there anymore are there

someone enjoyed the sound of braking glass by the looks of it

dontblink Wow. Very interesting how all the walls were knocked down. I like shot #20 the best but all are great. Good job in 'snooping' around:)

lifeisgood Thanks for the tour. In its glory days, it must have been a majastic hotel. Too bad it's in dispair; would have been a lovely building to have maintained.

DancingDolphin LOL.... OK, so now I'm supposed to break in to the asylum, right?!? But it doesn't have gaping holes like this place!

Very tempting however, after seeing what you got by being inside... #12 is my favorite shot, I REALLY like the way it's dark where you 'are' and overexposed looking out into the other room... and all the panes of broken glass. Good set, "65"!

Ryana He...je vond mijn fiets terug...waar kan ik hem ophalen ?
Staat dat hotel er nu nog? en zo ja, kan je er nog om bij en op?
oh, sorry, knappe foto's, zoals we gewoon zijn van je. ;o)

busybee36 What a fantastic place to take photos. The black and white really sets the scene of destruction and desertion. This is a great set.

projecte My favorite set of yours so far! I like your narratives, and it helps paint a picture of the going-on's there. You can use #8 for one of your multiple exposure experiments! :) I wish I lived closer to places like these to take photos!

ppinho This kind of ruins always result in great dramatic photos! My favs are the interiors, namely the nr. 7 and the 20! The nr. 9 is also great! You converted very well to BW! Good work my "new" friend! :)

Kaius Simply breath-taking photography, you really do have some great locations, but you make them your own behind that lens.
