Pripyat Restaurant

I loved the stained-glass windows in this abandoned restaurant along the river in Pripyat, Ukraine.  Before the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, this must have been a great place to enjoy a meal.

Stained Glass

I really need to get out and take more photos.  I have all kinds excuses, which I’ll spare listing for you.  Some of them are real and some I’ve just let get in my way.  Basically, I have a mental block right now.  I need a photography kick in the butt.  I need to get outside, get in an abandoned building, get out of bed to catch a sunrise, put my drone in the air and/or just find a beautiful spot to capture.  Something to get me motivated.

Today’s photo is one I took a while back at a classic Pittsburgh spot.  This beautiful abandoned cathedral is one of my favorites.

Leadlights

It has been a while since I posted a pic from an abandoned location.  Maybe because I’ve been busy processing so many South Africa photos for the last few months.  Well, last night I was on a urbex photography processing spree and I processed this photo from early 2017.  The original raw images were just sitting there on my hard drive waiting for their turn.

What a pretty photo they became after a little processing.  This is from a famous abandoned cathedral in the Pittsburgh area.  I’ve been inside it numerous times.  I love the stained-glass windows that remain.

Abandoned Pittsburgh

Yesterday I went on a long photo walk to numerous locations with a friend from California.  He was in town for one afternoon, so we made the best of it and hit a number of popular Pittsburgh photo spots.   We started with this abandoned church in the Lawrenceville area of Pittsburgh.  I’ve been in this spot a few different times and I am always surprised at what changes from visit to visit. 

Yesterday, we ran into a lady who was trying to clean the place up.  Probably a losing battle, but she was trying to get it done.  Anyway, somebody set up these chairs to create a little seating area.  So, I took advantage of it.

Colorful Ruins

Here is another photo from inside the abandoned St. Peter and St. Paul Church.  I’ve included a black and white version of this photo as well.  I liked both versions.


Note:  please remember that I am still in the middle of a busy period.  In a little over a week, I’ll have more time to create longer blog posts.  Sorry.
