Lighting up a wrecked vintage car in a limestone quarry in France.

The intermediate level of a retracting Maginot Line medium artillery turret.

Heavy-duty locomotives in a vast freight train graveyard at night.

A cool graffiti composition in an utter shithole of a ruined clinic.

The famous Uyuni train graveyard in Bolivia.

Some not-so-abandoned trains in a place where I wasn’t supposed to be. Aren’t they all.

The veterinary school at Anderlecht – now luxury apartments.

Some of the vile shit in the cellar – a favorite photo destination while it was around.

Pipes and dials in the coal power plant.

AMX-30 tank I found in a junkyard full of military vehicles.
