Sacramento Photo Day - Abandoned Train Yard

Got a chance to revisit one of my favorite haunts - the abandoned railroad buildings in downtown Sacramento. They are about halfway through refitting/tearing down most of them, but a few old brick walls and machinery are still waiting to be torn away. The last time we ventured here it was practically untouched - in a bad way! There were dead animals, old furniture and fixtures, and feces everywhere. Very cool, but also probably quite dangerous. Now everything is cleared out and the framework is left standing. 
I have a soft spot for aged things - they seem to appreciate their surroundings; belong to their space. Modern things are often intrusive and insisting rather than transformative. Also... the lighting in a giant warehouse is fantastic. If it weren't for the 26 mosquito bites I got that day it would have been a perfect adventure. <3 - Mo
There is something about the way light hits old brick - like a page from the past.

Funny how something broken can be so illuminating. 

Old things make for great textures. 

I wonder how long these have sat here...

I love how this is symmetrical and asymmetrical at the same time.  

Light grids :)

Happy Adventuring!
