A twisted version of that old Dire Straits song came to my mind when I photographed this abandoned pool house. So I thought: Why not use it as the title for this image…
Urbex is short for Urban Exploration. It is the act of going to and exploring lost and forgotten places that are not visited and often even inaccessible to the general public. Such places include abandoned factories, hospitals, schools, offices and other derelict buildings, unused nuclear bunkers, old military buildings, disused rail yards etc. The real urbexer will NOT break anything in (or to get into) these places. In fact that is considered VERY bad form. But if access can be obtained without causing any damage, then that’s considered fair game. Vandalism and graffiti are NOT allowed. It’s like nature photography: Leave only footprints, take only pictures.
