Abandoned Canada

One of the projects I am working on is a web directory with sites relating to urban/ rural exploration and abandoned sites in Canada (the rest of the world as well but it’s a massive project to tackle all of it at once). It’s far from ready to be shown off. But, I do have a list of sites for Canadian explorers and those who just like to look at old houses, places and things.

Expressions in Old Stone

I can’t resist weathered stone, especially something that once was man made.

Cromley explores Tokyo. 

The main walk also features 500 year old Stone Statues of Rakan in various stages of weathering. Here is what that placard had to say:

Work of 16th century. The stone statues are carved in the image of Buddhism priest. They removed here from temples in Kyoto and Toba.
