| | | Hello! I'm an 18 year old explorer from the lovely country called Belgium, that little patch of grass squeezed between France and Germany. I've explored a few things in the past (like probably everyone here has in their teenage years), but I'm planning to take on things a bit more 'seriously'. Step one: bring camera. Since discovering the online community I've been able to do a whole lot of research and scouting, but not a lot of actual exploring sadly. I've got my locations, I've got POE's, but so far, no one to go with, and I'm a bit reluctant to go alone considering the nature of the locations I look forward to explore. Outside of UE, I like rock climbing and pretty much anything labeled "outdoors". So yes, it doesn't always have to be urban! Anyway, I'd love to contribute to this community and hope to see some of you in the future!

| | | Hello from the north east. I wanted to introduce myself, I am fairly new to this type of photography(about a year now) so I have not gotten all the cool places under my belt as I am sure a lot of you already have. But I do try! Traditionally I started out as a military photographer, who then turned to weddings, landscapes, cityscapes and journalism. But I have learned so much and met so many great people while shooting abandonments, that I don't want to give that up. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all and seeing your work. ~PM~

| | | I am sorry Jo that you have to experience back problems and now can not do something that you are passionate about. I too was in that place a few years ago with my back when I took the plunge and had surgery. Best thing I could have done, but I am with you.. no scaling fences and moving through windows my body just does not move like that anymore. Anyway, I would love to see some of your work if you have some available or past experiences that you have had. Take Care- PM Posted by Icelandic9flame Name's Jo. From Winnipeg. I enjoy everything and anything all historic, abandoned and appreciate memories that may be left behind. Sadly because of a car crash a year ago, I have back problems. SO I cannot extensively explore places that are hard to access. But I wanted to be another voice for Winnipeg on this site, and offer some places that might not have been obvious to those who can scale a fence. (or wiggle through a window.) I'm great at remember floor plans. I also been doing photography for about 9 years now. I'm better at sketching and graphic arts, sadly. P.S. It's bunk I had to wait three days just to introduce myself.... I'm not that shy. LOL This IS a great site though. Great information shared, even the personal experience stories.

| | | Ahh Vancouver Island! I have to say that I LOVE that little spot of the world Altought I have found Vancouver itself to be a bit more modern then most places, which I thought to be a bit odd. Maybe I am wrong and just ventured into the wrong side of town.. but alas I love the location! Nice to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you around here along with some of your work. ~PM Posted by ackbad Kyle here Interested in finding people into Exploring. I plan/dream to travel though eastern Europe and Russia in the near future. I spend a lot of time finding old mining time relics near my place and abandon buildings. Big into photography and find old abandon location fascinating both the architecture and the stories behind them.

| | | Welcome! Belgium is an amazing little place I was there way back in 89 (yes I am dating myself) and loved the atmosphere and the history, the people.. amazing. You are lucky to have so much of that surrounding you. Oh, going alone...in my opinion is a bad thing, I went once alone and will never do it again hahaha I think I scared myself more then the others that were at the location. But on a serious note, you never know who you are going to run into, you know what I mean? Be smart is what I always say, if you get a gut feeling, its most likely right, stick with it. I look forward to seeing your work here! ~PM Posted by Whitecat Hello!

| Welcome to UER, and dont let the injury stop you. We have a member on here that has broken both legs, arms, both ankles, and most recently his back where he was temporally paralyzed and only recently began walking again (this all in DIFFERENT accidents mind you)... He is still exploring and even explored through the entire recovery You can too

| The Durango '95 purred away a real horrowshow - a nice, warm vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts. And soon it was trees and dark, my brothers, with real country dark. |

| | | Hi, I'm Beth....from Indianapolis, IN, but have traveled a lot of the world-Europe, Central and South America...love how small the world really is and how beautiful it truly can be. Even in the most dire of situations, there can be found something insanely beautiful. I like to take pictures...for some that might mean photography but I don't think I am there yet. I like what I like and am not looking for something artistic-just something that feels right to me. I have been on UER for a few days, lurking around at various galleries. I have always wanted to be an explorer but haven't found anyone else to go with. I usually get that LOOk like "You want to do WHAT?!" so I guess out of fear, I haven't really lived yet and am really loving living vicariously through others' explorations and galleries of photos. If anyone wants to be my "first" and have me explore with you, that would be smashing. Have passport, will travel. Keep up the good work everyone. This is an awesome site! Beth
