🎨🎨 Right In The Peels - Part 1

Exploring inside abandoned buildings, I often find myself drawn to the unusual beauty of peeling paint.

As time passes and decay sets in, layers of colourful curl and pull away from the wall. The texture and patterns created are fascinating!

Which one's your favourite?

A grungy brick wall with peeling paint surrounds a "NO SMOKING" sign. The paint is flaking off in layers, revealing the brick underneath. Abandoned room with peeling paint, four chairs sit against the wall. Distressed ceramic tiles are shown, with a flaking green painted surface, revealing a blue undercoat and black tile color. An ornate, arched doorway with peeling yellow paint, contrasting with a yellow wall. The door's decorative frame and decaying paint emphasize the theme of decay.

The Sacred Heart Church, Vernon (#Connecticut). 1971-2019

The church was erected amid controversy, centring around its futuristic design. This towering seven-storey concrete pyramid (nicknamed “Cement Tent” and “St Cement”).

By 1980, concrete began crumbling & raining down on the congregation 85ft below. Despite repairs, the structure was condemned in 1997 and lay abandoned for decades.

It was demolished in 2019.

🚗🚗❓❓Any car enthusiasts out there? I photographed this old truck, with a tree growing out of it. Some kind of Ford, is my best guess. Somewhere in Belgium, a few years ago.

Navy blue panels line the walls, each set with analogue dials and levers. Two removed dials rest on the central desk, like top hats left behind by a Steampunk gentleman. Large windows and skylights fill the room with soft late-afternoon light.

Inside an abandoned power station, a long wooden desk sits in front of old control panels with analog gauges. The panels are labeled "GENERATORS" and "DISTRIBUTION." A photo of an abandoned industrial setting. Two large, dismounted gauges rest on a dirty surface in front of large control panels. A derelict industrial control room with peeling paint. A panel reads "CONDENSATEURS" and has red/green buttons and toggles. This image shows an old, dusty control panel with gauges, switches, and levers, suggesting an abandoned industrial setting. Sunlight streams through grimy windows, illuminating the decay.

🏭🏭Industrial masterpiece. In the 1930s, this behemoth machine was, at the time, the biggest gas engine ever built! Now it stands rusting and abandoned inside an old power plant somewhere in Luxembourg.

🐦🐦🔥🔥 Château Martin Pêcheur (or, Kingfisher Chateau) was a stunning abandoned residence in France. Sadly, it was destroyed by a fire and now all that remains are photos and memories.

🚸🚸🏫🏫🇮🇹🇮🇹 This long-abandoned school sits in a small Italian village, empty since the 1960s.

Most rooms are empty or ransacked, but the top-floor classroom makes the detour in the blistering Italian summer heat worthwhile! The spectacular painted ceiling details, cute wooden desks, tiny chairs and retro wall map all make for a fascinating time capsule to explore and photograph.

📷📷 The Explore Vs The Shot. Inside an abandoned spa complex in Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵

I was being very cautious inside this abandoned glass dome, for good reason! Although nearly all the glass had fallen, there were still dagger-like shards hanging from some areas. I picked my route and crouch spot carefully, always being aware of the roof directly above me.
