I visited a huge abandoned castle last summer. It was so big I even didn't know where to start photographing. I also didn't know which photo to edit first. So I just edited the first picture I took. This place was huge and amazing. I was a last minute de… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

Because there was so much interest in the human bones and skull I posted yesterday. So I decided to upload a shot from the complete autopsy room too. You can see them here on the table on the left.
I also posted a lot more shots from this room in my pr… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

It's not always beauty that I see but I want to show you everything ;) Down in a pitch black basement I found 4 rooms with dissection tables. I think there were 8 tables in total.
In one of these rooms I saw these bones lying on a table. I guess some h… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

A lovely blue hallway in an abandoned thermal bath...
What a stunning place to see. They had different hallways in different colors. They had one thing in common, they were all amazingly beautiful.. I posted some other pictures of this place already. I w… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

This was one of those times I wish I had a wider lens. I wanted to capture the whole arch but I was already squeezed against the wall. Then when you are finally happy with your composition (after putting your tripod in 50 different ways) you have to w… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

When you are looking at my pictures, do you ever think about the smell? It looks nice but it never smells nice. :D ( with a few exceptions) So.. Can you imagine the smell here?
Churches always have the pigeon smell. Some places are abandoned for so lo… https://t.co/D04AdUpaJ8

Abandoned sanatorium. All rooms were empty. There was really not much to see... And then there was this room. <3

A beautiful abandoned greenhouse. I know it's only a greenhouse. But wow I absolutely loved it ! A few minutes after this shot the sun came through and the light was terrible. I was just in time. ;)

For prints plz contact me personally. ;)

During the end of the 18th century this 'modern' prison was built. Things like hygiene, ventilation and the seperation of men and woman became more important. (But all these things failed and after 100 years they closed the prison)
After that it was use… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

How many pigeons do you count?? :d
The organ had some amazing decay! I liked it a lot :D
This beautiful church is located in Belgium and is currently under renovation. Always good to hear someone is trying to save these beautiful places.

I visited this church two times. A friend of mine had never seen this place and we were close so we made a small detour for a quick stop. I was expecting a lot had changed in all those years but it was more or less the same. Exept for that one bird that … https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

As you know I'm constantly searching for morgues and autopsy tables. Although it's a very uncommon object to photograph. I really seem to like them. In the lowest part of a huge abandoned hospital I found this dark and not so inviting room. The windows … https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA

Some beds are more beautiful than others..
Earthquakes. We don't have them were I live (Belgium), but it must be terrible to lose everything in a few seconds. :(

The theatre room that belonged to the projection room I posted some days ago.
A real beauty! It's a shame they don't use it anymore. Although I have good hopes for this one. ;)

'Cobra' :) I watched that movie when I was a kid :D

When you see this place I'm sure you will all think it's abandoned.
In fact it is part of a huge (still active) hotel. And they just don't use this part anymore. So I booked a room in the active par… https://t.co/D04AdU7zRA
