Hi all,

I am in some sense new to the hobby (my previous escapades in the home country were very easy mode). I like industrial machinery and factories. They produce (or, as it may be, once produced) real, tangible products, and there's a lot of romantic appeal in that for someone whose day job is self-referential number shuffling.

Unfortunately, I don't like taking photos. I rarely do it and lack the equipment, skill, and motivation to create something that might awe you, or even earn a passing grade. Nonetheless, I made an effort to take some during my recent trip, just to have something to post here.

I went to a certain abandoned soap factory. The idea, for lack of time to track down a new spot, is shamelessly stolen from NNVVK, who posted about it last year. I tried not to have much overlap: I mostly took pictures inside the main building, which is admittedly more boring. It is being hollowed out: there are heaters running inside, fairly fresh paint and installations, and I heard voices inside (though I steered clear of them, so who's to say they weren't fellow explorers).

Yep, sorry, the markup engine didn't interpret "text: https://..." correctly. I fixed it in the main post.

Good shit! That is a nice facility! Very clean. I wouldn't be surprised if those voices you heard were workers, that cleared out space looks like they've been getting ready to do something with it. Very Beautiful.
