I took this picture simply as a record of a possible location for future shooting. I was lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny winter day. I specifically went to this location to decide whether it had possibilities for a photo shoot. My conclusion is YES.

The building behind me is abandoned. The door is locked with a rusty chain and padlock. As you can see from the leaves on the steps, no one goes into this rather large and beautiful building anymore. I got there just in time to get some interesting light and snapped a couple of pics before the sun disappeared from the pillars in the background.

There is another large building on this property that is not used anymore either. However, when I passed by it today it was surrounded by film-crew trucks. Obviously I am not the only person who recognizes the photogenic qualities this place has to offer. They are luckier than me however because they have access inside the buildings. I don't. I will keep this place a secret for now.
