Abandoned Hospital, Ergli, Latvia. Notes with Kodak
Some time ago my location and mount of free time allowed me some quite a lot of urban exploring, some walking around, finding and shooting abandoned places. I still love it.
I think abandoned places hold a great magic inside of them and has their own character and feelings. One can only imagine how much they have experienced before they have been left alone. Amazing stories, if only I knew them all…
great photo’s, i like your work
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you stepping into my blog! :)
you are really balling hard ;)………………….keep it going girl
Thank you very much, Emmanuel!
What striking images! I’d been curating photos, recently, on the theme of living with books — and how striking it is to see a place in a moment of decay and spilled books are what remain! Congrats on your work.
Thank you very much!
I think books as a project theme are very much interesting on their own. :)
Yes, very striking images!
Thank you very much!
These are great locations. Maybe have a look at yyellowbird on flickr as well at http://www.flickr.com/photos/yyellowbird cheers –zp
Thanks!
I checked out your stream, you have a lovely vintage/retro style! Nice dressing of the models :)
I was only referring to yyellowbird as an idea/inspiration for maybe you to use yourself in the abandoned buildings like yyellowbird. Those are all self-portraits of her. My flickr is at flickr.com/zakpegg
Oh, I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I assumed it was your flickr page.
I am checking your out as we speak. :)
Thanks. I am trying to take better photos and I like flickr a lot. Your photos are very good overall.
Thank you very much!
I wish you loads of luck and happiness with developing your passion and hobby! :)
Great photographs, and slightly disturbing too.
Thank you.
I love these type of places and a little horror is a good part of it. :) At least for me.
visvairāk mani apbur tieši tie pamesto grāmatu un dokumentu kalni, nolupušās sienas krāsas un veids, kā tu to visu esi uzņēmusi! nākamajā šādā fotogrāfiju medīšanā tev mani jāņem līdzi :)
Mani arīdzan!
Noteikti, kādēļ gan ne, vasara ir tam vispiemērtotākais laiks! Tieši plānoju mazliet pa Latviju apkārt paceļot vasarā, labprāt pieņemtu kādu kompanjonu!
Šīs ir uzņemtas Ērgļos,ļoti maza, mīlīga un īpatnēja pilsēta, vairākus gadus atpakaļ, šķiet, ka varbūt pat 2008 vai 2009 gads. Labprāt tur pat atgrieztos! :)
Tu zini, es tā arī neaizbraucu uz to Ērgļu slimnīcu.
Nu, tas nu nemaz nav smuki, zinies.. derētu tā kā! ;)
Luv this set. I’m looking for abandoned places myself to shoot too, there’s not much from my location now though. Congrats on your great post :)
I am so glad I am not the only one. I mean these places need attention, as they have lost some great amount of it when they got left alone. It is worth doing some research and making time for visiting them, I believe so! I should do exactly the same :)
Thank you very much!
Abandoned buildings are one of my favourite subjects to shoot. These are beautiful, and you have left me yearning for more.
I am very glad that I did it! I mean, they are worth all the while, time and trouble, completely! :)
I wish you good luck with finding and exploring them, as well as seeing some shoots!
Thanks, I have to be a little more cautious exploring seemingly abandoned buildings in Africa, but I attempt anyway
Of course, you have to be careful anywhere, while visiting abandoned houses!
Awesome! I have always wanted to do this but the time factor to explore is kind of hard to come by these days. But this is great inspiration. I love all the “stuff” thrown about the place. Very cool…
I suggest you to find some time, it is all totally worth it!
Thank you very much :)
These are great! Ive put you on my blog roll.
Thank you so very much! :)
Great place. I have to go to Latvia some day.
If only this post convinced you, that I am very glad!
I am surely going to post some more of Latvia with film, so stay tuned. And the country is really worth the visit! :)
I have heard many great things about Latvia. And i have heard it is full of places for urbexers.
It surely is a paradise for urban explorers, can not deny that.
And the country is worth the visit, indeed!
I going to Latvia someday.
Yes! :)
Hi Laine,
I really love this series! It’s so lovely.
Thanx for popping by, please feel free to share your good tips with me :)
Thank you so very much!
:) I am glad you’re enjoying it, I surely will keep on posting!
Nice serie! It´s possible to feel the atmosphere… the sound (silence), your own steps, and the “click”.
ps: colors looks great. I´ll definitely take a look around your blog.
Cheers!
Thanks! This place was amazing and I discovered it by accident. Hope to visit it sometime soon again. :)
Feel free to browse!
More of this please! It would have been even more interesting if there was a person in one of the photos :)
Yeah, I wish those times I was more into shooting people.
Now, in the country I am located in, it is hard to access these kind of places.
