Urban Exploration

I'm a big fan of urban exploration. Though I've never taken it to the extreme and dangerous, I find that exploring broken city scapes and abandoned buildings just as beautiful as what you'd encounter on a nature walk.

This abandoned house found by my friend just outside of London, Ontario must have been spectacular in it's day. Even as a crumbling shell of a home it was pretty breathtaking.

We were a little nervous about the strength of the floor while we were upstairs, but we managed to see every nook and cranny.

At one point this home sold for almost $2 million, but now it's been stripped of anything valuable.

From what we could deduce from the items left behind, it must have been abandoned in the 1990's. The letters, photos, and magazine articles all confirmed our deductions.

The strangest things left behind in this house were crutches and a disorganized shrine to actor Val Kilmer which included a hand written erotic story about the Iceman.

Enjoy!
