Car Graveyard

Image
Decaying plot of land in Grodzisk Mazowiecki in nearby Warsaw. It's one of the biggest old vehicle graveyards in Europe, currently after an Idiot Box  feature very run down and vandalized. visited with: Adm Kuz and Ł. Hachuła History : Cars belonged to Tadeusz Tabencki who was a high rank Ministry of Transport official and an officer of Ministry of National Security , during Polish PRL times. Tadeusz acquired most of his toys in not particularly legal way, he was basically using his position to appropriate the vehicles after the car registration law changes. In it's heyday his collection consisted of about 300 cars and 200 motorcycles. Polish collector until today surrounded by many rumors died (quite ironically) in 1989, after death his family completely abandoned the vehicles and left it to rot as they were, unsecured, most of them standing outside on bare ground behind a basic fence. I'm not a big car fan, but from what i read online, you can find here mode...

After hearing  Andrew Kzirian's (from the band  Viza ) track - Illumination it really reflected for me atmosphere of the recently visited abandoned prison, so i made this little video to illustrate it. Pictures and some more info about the place can be found here .

Amazing place and we got to see it almost during the sunset.

Sheperdswell Train Yard

Image
Site been done many times, least to say it wasn't very challenging to get in as the only gate was wide open, few builders next to it, but completely not interested in what we were doing.. Nobody on site, the only problem was that on the way back the gate was closed, lol.. so we jumped over it without any questions from still present builders.. thank God for builders. Some essential information about the place, can be found here .

Dungeness

Image
"Dungeness is one of the most bizarre places you can visit in Kent. Overlooked by the massive power station, the beach has a strange aura that only adds to its attraction. As with many beaches in Kent it's pebbly, but it's well worth a visit just to soak in the lonely atmosphere, even if you don't fancy a swim. Make sure you take your camera - Dungeness is packed full of potential arty shots." - True, heh. Never got enough of this place.. well until now.

RAF Dunkirk

Image
Visited on a sunny saturday with RoFox and familia. Located just off the road after few minutes walking distance through the forest. history: During World War II, five radar stations were constructed to give early warning of approaching enemy aircraft around the Thames Estuary area. Dunkirk and Swingate were two of the five, and constituted part of the Chain Home system. Certainly the CHS played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain as Luftwaffe bomber formations could be detected even before they had crossed the coast of France.
