[yakrian]

[What Happened to the Letters?]

thers a thread on this made by vegi in the pictures thread, called lie kabandoned stuff, or somethign liek that

abandoned waterpark

ive got more flix but not sure if it applies to this thread since its all covered in graf
but i will post them if people want

[koper]

There's some differences, this thread is more about the act of urban exploration, the abandoned things thread is more for random photos of abandoned stuff.
Some people are really into this kind of thing, they document it all and share it with others who are involved in the scene. Similar to graf in that regard i guess.
I've always thought it would be great to be one of these guys and a writer aswell. I'm sure you'd find some great spots. Calgary has a decent documentation of their stuff avaliable online and they go to places and get snaps of graf that i bet no one other than the artist themselves knew about.

anyway, the thread lives.

This thread really reminds me of the Parkour Thread

Imagine having mastered the arts of writing, parkour, and urban exploration. You'd be unstoppable.

Funny you should mention that Koper. I practice Parkour as a method to relieve stress, get around without my car, and help my urban exploits. When I'm on Urb-Ex "missions", we (AKER, AMPLE, STAY, myself and a few other non-writers) bring paint and shit with us. Most of our stuff is done around the Edmonton area. Maybe my next trip to Cow-town we could hook up and I'll show you some shit.
