ASW Contest Entry: Abandoned School in Missouri
Canon XTi, 20sec, f/7.1, ISO 100 [3888x2592]
My entry for this weeks Abandoned Shit Weekly contest hosted by @customnature is an abandoned high school that I explored in Missouri. The flooded hallway provided an amazing reflection that was begging to be captured. I am also including photos that I took of the gym and auditorium. There were no lights on in the building so these are all long exposure shots.

Congratulations! This entry won an Honorable Mention in the Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest "freestyle" theme. I have upvoted it at 100%!
So moody. The best (and worst at the same time) in exploring abandoned places is that you never know, what you can see there. Animals? Homeless people? You walk alone to places like that or with anybody else?
I was in a small group during this outing, I'll explore abandoned places alone at times as well. Animals and homeless people are common sights. I once accidentally cornered a raccoon at the dead end of a small tunnel and he flipped out, ran around in a circle then went in between my legs to get away.
Good shit dude!
Man these are amazing. I wish you posted more!! The basketball court is my favorite for sure - the others are wicked cool too no doubt! Good luck in the contest.
Needs more cowbell
