This first place I saw out of the corner of my eye while driving close by.
|
Plenty of abandonded housing...
|
and industrial buildings.
|
I don't know what kind of industrial activity went on here.
|
It looks as if a few less fortunate peaple hang around here from time to time.
|
But I didn't see a soul myself.
|
It's just across the road from a little town.
|
You would think that buildings like this so close to a town would get knocked down once they are abandoned.
|
But who is going to cover the costs since the company responsable no longer exists?
|
Now it's just an eery ghost town, left to it's own destiny.
|
The next place I went to was a sugar mill about 100km drive from Rome.
|
Nature is reclaimning this place now.
|
Traces of the people who once worked here.
|
It was so nice to roam around there, the only sounds being things rattling in the wind...
|
Every now and thing something would bang a bit louder, making me jump "what the hell was that!?"
|
The sugar refining plant.
|
The whole area was like an abandoned town...
|
and I could have easily spent another day there.
|
Just walking through the buildings took hours.
|
Several floors to explore.
|
I'm guessing this was an oven of some sort.
|
I didn't care to crawl in and look aroud.
|
I had enough to see without crawling.
|
Some buildings are caving in.
|
But most was sound concrete.
|
There used to be a lot of machinery in here.
|
But it has all been clerad out.
|
Now many of these large buildings are just empty shells.
|
This place sure has a genuine ghost town feel to it.
|
"No smoking"
|
In some of the buildings I could go up several floors.
|
Using a maze of stais and ladders.
|
This is the top part of what I think is a huge oven of some sort.
|
Quite high up.
|
And this was as high I wanted to go without doing something stupid.
