Incinerate

Wellington, NZ, yesterday: This former animal testing station lies broken and abandoned after twenty odd years. Theres few clues left as to what experiments went on here- they’ve disappeared like the unfortunate animal test subjects destroyed in the incinerators.

One Way

Whanganui, March 2013:  This former Hospital and rest-home for the elderly, has unfortunately taken a one way trip to nowhere… The state of the place has deteriorated dramatically since the last visit in 2012- the next visit I fear will show even more signs of neglect and vandalism…

Empire State

New York, February 2004: On my way back to Dublin, I stopped in New York… There had been a blizzard but the Empire State beckoned… Completed in 1931 in distinctive Art Deco style- its roof height at 381 meters (with antenna included 443.2m high)- it’s still one of the highest buildings on the planet- at number 22.

A Bad Education

Wellington, NZ, March 2013:  This former highschool was closed about 15 years ago… It’s still standing- just. The decay and vandalism that has occurred in the interim is astounding! It’s finally due for demolition soon- the land it stands on is to be developed into a retirement village …
