Explore the construction sites. Explore the active sites once built. There's lots to do even after the abandonments get 'dozed.
| Not sure what it's like in Canada, but exploring construction sites in the US cops tend to think your a scrapper or thief. National rolling mills verses a retirement home under construction? Sunship verses a casino? Beth Steel verses a casino? MAB Paint in Reading verses a lot? All bad gambles and even worse images. Sam's right. Being able to explore low to medium risk industrial abandonments from the industrial age kicks ass. What you suggest is watered down soup and left over hot dogs by comparison.

| | | For me id say it was the Computer game called Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, back in '07. There were a few other games in the series as well, and well yes they take place in Chernobyl, Pripyat and the surrounding area. During the development of the game they actually went to the areas and photographed a lot, using real areas/buildings/location for the game, so a lot of stuff in the game is a recreation of the real thing. And I thought that was just so cool, especially from such a haunting area. There are comparison videos and photos out there and they are the same, pretty cool! With this it gave me a huge fascination of the whole area. (yes I understand how serious and bad it actually was and it deeply saddens me what happened, but it does create a unique, intriguing atmosphere. Years go by, always was interested in abandonments but never ever explored them, mainly because I didn't know where to look and didn't know there was an actual community about it. I cant remember how but about 2 years ago now I came across this site, I was beyond stoked seeing that theres a community and forum behind all this. Once I made an account on this site ive been pretty into exploring! Ive always been pretty cautious so it was hard for me to go out now I have a friend whos as serious into it as I am and we've checked out some pretty cool stuff. I owe all of this to the stalker video games, and it is a serious life goal of mine to visit pripyat someday.
