Had a year worth making a YIR for finally. Few dozen spots visited, dozen or so new people met, few really sketchy and some absolutely regrettable encounters, lots of awesome compositions and scenic moments I'll never forget. Here's to a healthy 2023.
1 Mansion resto, had heat, cool smoke spot.
Windows to the World by Josh
2 Place I biked past dozens of times turned out disused with an adequate roof.
The RIverwalk by Josh
3 Another local thing I finally hopped on, glad I saw it when I did.

4 Stopped here for a bit, bummed I missed this thing before the plastic sheeting came out.

Great year! Can't wait to see what this next year brings.

Nice dude! Lots of good stuff, I'm sure those little inconspicuous shots were from really really cool things.

Good stuff here! Love the industrial and churches.

Posted by Pearson Nice dude! Lots of good stuff, I'm sure those little inconspicuous shots were from really really cool things.

Yeaaah prolly shoulda put more pics in for each place and added a caveat on those inconspicuous shots saying I wasn't gonna be dropping heaters for those ones lol. Reading everyone else's YIRs gives me much more ideas on how to do better.

I see you uploaded the old fashioned way. Mad respect. Great set dude, hope this year's already going good for you too

Very cool stuff here! I hope 2023 is your best year yet.

This really has been an exceptional month or so for years in reviews and this is up there.

Predictably excellent stuff from the most knowledgeable plant guy I know

Hopefully we can link up again at some point, we're pushing two years

16, 28 and 30 are my favorites. awesome yir! talk soon.

These are awesome! 28 is definitely my favorite, I love the wooden decay and overgrown stained glass. It gives me major urban fantasy/ post apocalypse fantasy vibes.
