ooohh yes, thats a great site Billy. i found it when i tried doing a bit of research on derelict prisons.

Coumarin, I spend hours on this site sometimes, I am astonished at some of the empty, deserted places. Its quite sad, sometimes disturbing too. Some of the pictures are quite dramatic. Your shots above are pretty cool too  ;)

Her's something for you two.

That is a very interesting piece St alFonzo, I cannot believe they maintain it simply for use as amilitary training facility. Unbelievable.

Stoney,
   WOW, that is some 'boneyard', when next up that way I am gonna have to pay a visit, sans digging implements of course  ;D
I was once stuck in Aberdeen when the ship was in port and just took a walk and came across this ancient graveyard, many of the grave stones had eroded very badly, all were well over 100 years old. The ones that were legible all bore testimony to many, many young men lost at sea in the fishing trade. A very sad and solemn place. I have no photographs unfortunately.

I'd really like a wander around the big graveyard in New York, and HighGate aswell if I ever get a chance. The New Orleans graveyard in Easy Rider looks amazing aswell......
I wandered round Undercliffe as a youth a few times, it's a big and really interesting spot to have a look around......
Sadly I'll be in Nab Wood crem' on Wednesday....... Not for any kind of pleasant occaision either.... certainly not sight seing. It's my mates funeral this week, the worst reason to visit hometown in a very long time........ :'(
I might pop in to see the New Joolz Studio tho' since the do is litterally 100 yards away......

it's a little early even for me! not pouring one yet, I took that a couple of years ago at crimbo.
I must say I admire your restraint Stoney. I'm afraid the missus and I do have an occassional glass in front of the five year old. Alex was feeling rough one day, a bad cold, and Rowan was stroking her head and said, "would a glass of wine make you feel better mummy?"  ::)

Just now little Evan (4) just piped up and said "Daddy I'm borded of singing RATBAG Can't we sing BASTARDS like Justin does?". ::)....... I was listening to Vengeance while repairing a t shirt for him.....

last night I went to see for the first time Patti Smith. It was an acoustic gig at La Cité de la musique (la villette, Paris). The gig called 'Unplugged Dreams'. I had a great evening. Tomorrow, another Patti Smith concert but this time it will be at La Salle Pleyel and with her band she'll play Horses, the whole album.



always wanted to see patti live, lucky you. great pic too.
