IN PROGRESS - ZECHE XXL
Sunday 19-09-2011

This German mine was founded in 1927. In the heyday, the company had more than 3,000 employees. Yearly more than 2 million tons of coal where brought to the surface. Due to large coal reserves, the old part of the mine had to shut down. Beautiful are the coal conveyors with all its rails covered with black dust. Though the light in here is really difficult, a challenge to capture.

The adjacent area is still in operation today. Security is regularly checking the abandoned part, several times we had to hide to avoid attention. This made us a little bit itching...

IN PROGRESS
CHAMBRE DU COMMERCE
Wednesday 04-09-2011

Info about this fabulous location will follow soon. We had the opportunity and dare to photograph this well protected beauty for more then 4 hours. Now 10 gigabytes of photo's have to be checked. But so sad to see that a place with such a history is still waiting for reconstruction. Two weeks later it seems the place is locked well again.

NEW - SLATE QUARRY
Wednesday 20-07-2011

This old slate mine founded in 1906 was very long on my todo list. The decline is so strong that the place is a ruin by know, beautiful. But very dangerous, watch your steps!

The 170 meter deep quarry produced in her glory years more than a million slates a year. Owner of the company was the Donner family. Since 1995 the company was left abandoned. It seems like the place is partly demolished or is going to be!

ABANDONED MAISON
Saturday 04-06-2011

Somewhere in a small village on the outsides, we entered this old forgotten and abandoned maison. Inside there are lots of crumbled walls, pealing paint, rotten wood and spiderwebs to be found. The soul of this maison is still there, though she's disappearing quickly. Some parts like the attic and the shed's are very dangerous to enter.

Explored with Nanette & Dimi.

ECVB POWER STATION [REVISIT]
Saturday 04-06-2011

A revisit [probably the 6th. time] to one of the finest abandoned power stations. ECVB is fairly unique in terms of abandoned industry. A small active part of this almost untouched [and hopefully it will stay that way] power station still gives everyday power to some surrounded industries. The only damage here is the result of natures efforts to reclaim its territory. Moss infected the turbines and machinery like an industrial disease, plants and grass grew from edges of the rusty metalwork.

With every visit more and more footsteps appear, but with the giant and impressive pipes, unique architecture and authenticity it seems to gain respect!

CHATTILON CAR GRAVEYARD [Revisit]
Sunday 27-02-2011

Deeply hidden into the bush for many years, there was a beautifull car graveyard. I must say "was", because of the large amount of Urban Explorers the place is being cleared. The cars are removed and the bush and trees can finally start to take over the place again.

Still remember the first sight of this place, so pure and truly awesome! This place will be in my memory, luckily we could do a last shoot...
