St. Boniface Cathedral, Winnipeg. Taken 13 days ago with 1ajs' Nikon D70, edited in RawTherapee. I think this is the only photo I took that day that isn't horribly washed out.

Neat shot George, that cladding material seems to be constructed of black holes.

Bulliver, where did you take those black and white photos with the porcelain dolls? That place looks epic.

It's an abandoned homestead in rural Alberta. The dolls themselves are on a bed upstairs in this tiny house:

I found an unread copy of the Edmonton Journal from March 22, 1969 inside. I suspect that's about the time this place was last occupied.

There are literally hundreds of these abandoned houses all over Alberta. A couple friends of mine are huge into the 'rurex' scene and sometimes I tag along with them. And yeah, some of these spots are pretty epic. I remember one place, the kitchen table was still set for breakfast circa 1955. It's like people just decided to walk away from their homes one day...

Wow thats really cool. I came upon a similar house way outside of west Houston that had newspapers that were unread from 1970 and in really good shape considering they had been lying in a house with holes in the roof and broken windows everywhere. Really awesome photos of the houses too man, great job. I love exploring abandoned buildings, especially old 1920s hotels.

I left downtown from work and headed home this afternoon, then a friend of mine called and wanted to shoot some downtown tonight, so we headed back downtown. An old warehouse in South Main was being cleared out, and a guy randomly asked what we were taking photos of and then said we could go in and take some photos of the warehouse before its sold and go up on the rooftop. Pretty awesome views.
