I had seen this site posted recently on various forums from a couple of UK lads. I don’t think I had seen much posted from the place before…..or rather I just hadn’t paid much attention to it.
After seeing photos from the turbine hall then this was a must have location on the euro derp...
Another stunning little house from the February Belgium trip :D I don't understand how all these places stay in such amazing condition, this one could almost have just been someones holiday home, had it not been for one of the rooms being flooded out, and a tiny bit of decay in areas...
Right, I guess I should start going through the backlog from the start :L I'm starting to drown in Raw files that need sorting, it was only a matter of tie :L lol
Another one from the seemingly ages ago epic euro trip :D
Really nice little place this, if very strangely laid out. The owners...
Evening all,
This is another place i visited on a recent Belgium weekender, no history im afraid. I had seen photos of this place beforehand, and its crazy what was left behind. Even when inside exploring this house, it felt as if anyone would come home at any time. Im not really into...
Two friends of mine really wanted to visit the Chateau and since we were around we decided to drop by. I've been here before in 2014 and not much has changed. Here and there a bit more decay. We even got the same nasty rainy weather, which really didn't made the climb to the Chateau easier. I...
This is an abandoned diesel fuelled power station in Belgium with black start capability. Black start means it could be used to restore power in an electric power station at short notice in the event of a major power failure or blackout basically. A few of us had a look at this around a year ago...
A huge steel plant which closed down in 2015 but remains on standby. Visited with @Maniac, @Merryprankster and @extreme_ironing. An amazing place with everything still switched on and a surprising lack of security measures in place! :D

Maison de Viron.
A maison that doesn't look nice on the outside but still has some interesting things inside.

Morning all,
I recently took a trip under the sea to Belgium for a 3 day weekend. We hit 17 locations over those 3 days, and this is the first report of many. This place was one i had wanted to see for some time, and it did not disappoint. No history im afraid, but what a beautiful church this...
Metro Leger Charleroi, Linge Châtelet,
So when most people mention a trip exploring in Europe followed by the words ‘exploring Metro’, the first thing that springs to most people’s minds are the Parisian Metro or maybe Berlins system. Equally a mention of Pre-metro would usually suggest a...
Even though there is not much left of the chateau it's still a nice location to explore.
Cheers!
Rody :smile:

This one I can't seem to find any history on again... Maybe if I learnt to speak all the languages they speak in Belgium, it would be easier..? :L But anyway, this appeared to be a general furniture factory, with catalogues strewn about the place, along with lots of chairs, but of course, the...
Finally getting round to getting some more up from my last Belgium trip (I am slowly drowning in a sea of unedited pictures, and the levels keep rising! Not that I can complain there really, 2016 is really rather looking to be my year so far, I'm having a blast!)
Villa heil, the second...
Manior General P, what a lovely surprise this was. I never though what appeared to be a seemingly normal house, on a normal street would hold such treasures within. It almost felt as if the owner would come home at any time, but this was certainly one of the highlights on a predominantly house...
The first successful location on another absolutely epic trip across the channel with @TheVampiricSquid, @BlocksPhotography and (I think, although I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong) another non-member. (A trip on which I came back with all camera gear intact for a change! success!!!) An...
Maison Radio, and what a lovely little place this was. It was the first location we visited after a dodgy night stay in Ghent's finest budget hotel, with chewing gum stuck to the bed and a single plug socket we couldn't actually use! It was one of those clear but absolutely bitter mornings, and...
History:
This old art-deco hospital was a tuberculosis preventorium for kids. In the 1970s this hospital had 150 beds. Preventorium’s differed slightly from sanatoriums in that they catered more specifically to patients with an early state of infection. The Dolhain preventorium nestled along...
I've visited here before, but it was a last-minute stop in the pitch black, so my photos weren't the most successful. When I found out we were in the area I had to revisit, and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's quite samey but I enjoyed shooting it nonetheless. Didn't spend hours here and...
