Default Abandoned factory - urban decay

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd share a few shots from my visit to an abandoned factory the other day.

The place is pretty run down and, as it's easily accessible, it's covered in graffiti. Pretty cool location...









Let me know what you think of the shots!

Cheers
Karl
