The Colour Of Morning.jpg by liesthrualens

I decided on Corfe Castle this morning, at the promise of another misguided weatherman. Assured of a beautiful sunrise, I headed along the country roads at 5.30am, only to arrive at Corfe and find that the sunrise consisted of everything but sun. Having staggered up the daunting hill, I was soon turning around and heading towards Swanage.

Again, when I arrived, there was nothing but cloud. Setting up in position at the foot of the old pier, I watched as the sun slowly began to burn its way through the mottled cloud; revealing a beautiful, orange sky. Slowly the grey turned to amber and the sky was lit up beautifully. It lasted for about 5 minutes, enough time to fire off a couple of long exposures. This is the first of them.

A lost past by intrepidphotos

Memories from a lost past haunt this abandoned homestead in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Houses like this are scattered all over Ireland due to the incredible historical population collapse. In 1841 the population of the area now covering the Republic of Ireland was over 6.5 million however the Great Famine (Gorta Mór) of 1845 to 1852 or Irish Potato Famine as it is known outside of Ireland, directly caused the deaths of over one million people and a further million more emigrating from Ireland. By 1871 the population had dropped by over a third to four million, and by 1926 the subsequent economic, social, and political turmoil had further reduced the population down to three million, less than half of the 1841 population.

Heavy Metal by IrisvanWolferen

Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment. Photography and historical interest/documentation are heavily featured in the hobby and, although it may sometimes involve trespassing onto private property, this is not always the case and is of innocent intention. Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites. It may also be referred to as draining (when exploring drains), urban spelunking, urban rock climbing, urban caving, or building hacking.
