Mr. P. Explores

Four of my favorite spots n' shots out on the road exploring over the last year, taken on my Nikon D750.

Autumn sunlight inside an empty room within an abandoned Gary, Indiana church.

A long forgotten military vehicle left behind inside an abandoned ordnance plant in rural Pennsylvania.

These water towers act as moody sentinels against an autumn sky at an abandoned Pennsylvanian World War II ordnance plant.

Old beauty; just a little something found parked behind a garage on the winter streets of Youngstown, Ohio.

Entropy in slow motion; a small abandoned industrial building takes on a life of its own after being left behind in the woods of New Jersey.

The looming presence of Big Rusty, a troll that guards an abandoned factory structure in the woods of suburban New Jersey. He was created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo.

Mother Nature gently begins her retaking of this still-functional old steel bridge over the Mahoning River, that once belonged to a local Youngstown steel mill.

Went off the grid for a few days with a photography trip to parts of New Jersey and random areas around NYC. Much needed to break up the usual routine. Well, except for the traffic; THAT is a different story... It's always good to break away from home to get to know other places!

A long forgotten steel "dipper" car, left over from Ohio's steel days, many decades ago.

A forgotten diner, abandoned on the backstreets of Youngstown, Ohio.

Evening gloom in the remains of a Northeast Ohio rubber factory.

Last call; the bar of an abandoned strip club (since demolished) in rural Michigan.

A green=tinged and gritty stairwell inside a crumbling silo at an abandoned Ohio concrete plant.

Lines and light; the retreating sun leaves lines on the gritty floors of an abandoned city maintenance garage in Detroit, Michigan.

Layers and levels inside of an abandoned municipal maintenance garage in Detroit, Michigan.

Light and shadow at golden hour; inside a former and abandoned city maintenance garage in Detroit, Michigan.

The elements are slowly dissolving the atrium of this abandoned mall in Columbus, Ohio.

Pretzel logic; no hot pretzels here anymore within this abandoned and since demolished mall in Columbus, Ohio.

A ravaged jewelry store inside the abandoned and since demolished Westland Mall in Columbus, Ohio.

Skylit; plenty of light to be had on the second floor of this long abandoned Canton, Ohio motor plant.
