Jordan is a country that's never been featured on here before so I thought I'd post this up, even though the building isn't especially interesting. It's either an unfinished hotel or apartment block, I'm not sure. The location is prime for tourists visiting the dead sea, and it has views looking...
Me and @C&A visited the dreaded Elysium theatre today. After 2 previous attempts we had once again been fooled by the way in (we always skip the easy way first accidentally ) also getting spooked 2 minutes after entering by more urbexers wanting to come in who had saw us enter (that’s a first...
DISCLAIMER: I suck at photography. The photos in this post were taken over 3 or 4 visits to this site. Some were taken on my phone, some on a DSLR (before I left it at the top of another site in Bristol). You will be able to see how my photography skills developed (if you'll excuse the pun) from...

For a long time the Airo Tower Hotel in the 10th district of Vienna, close to the thermal spring Oberlaa, served as a beautiful Hotel with direct access to the SPA area for hundreds of guests every month. But in 2016 the hotel left it's best days behind and began to be known for it's old...
Visited with @vxer13 and @ZF1637, thanks guys this was a nice little explore. Spent about 10 minutes looking for access & then walked round to the front of the building & it was staring us in the face. Was a bit of a weird one as it seemed like it was in the middle of being redeveloped or...
Another rooftop that's been on my list since i began Urbex and photography 2 and a half years ago.
Europa house 63m high, constructed in 1969 for offices.
I'm not sure when the place closed... but it's now being redeveloped for (I'm assuming) uni student accommodation.

Not far from the fabulous little power plant and overlooking the same river sits a rather large imposing hotel. My mate had spotted this from the air whilst scoping out the power plant on Google maps and thought it looked abandoned so did some more digging and found out it was 'closed...

The former workhouse buildings were then upgraded for use as an...
Drain with a view - Trebarwith, Cornwall
Whilst sunning myself in Cornwall, I had intended to visit a couple of Roc posts.
However, the lure of the surf was too strong so I dragged the Mrs and the Boy
down to Trebarwith Strand...and low and behold..what do I find, but a drain.
So on...
