So to cheer her up, and put a spark back into her life, he turned her into a superhero! He took a series of awesome photographs of her wearing costumes in unusual superhero type posses.

These photos are great, and they definitely put a smile on my face. E.U.S.A.G A link between the noise removed of past activities and the deafening silence of the present moment, my pictures show first sight focused on the discovery of a wealth of stories to discover until the uncertainty of its final fate wasteland. I penetrates into a silence that is between discretion and respect and let me gladly surprised by the striking details that the discovery may wish to provide remember. Pictures taken on the fly allow me to represent the emotion felt by the imposed rhythm of the course. If exploration usually involves visiting, photograph and document the history of generally industrial wasteland often discovered by chance, my vision meets specific requirements concerning the places visited: While access is usually closed to the public, it does not mean matter from entering breaking: there mostly existing openings. On site there are often many things that I can identify, photograph, but rarely move or act, and especially never win. Powered by WebRing.
Dubtown Kent School Die Anstalt Waldniel-Hostert hatte eine sehr wechselvolle Geschichte. Hier wurden Menschen gepflegt und geheilt. Es wurde Unterricht erteilt - jedoch wurden hier auch Kinder ermordet. Bis 1932 wurde das St. Zwischen 1935 und 1937 begannen die Nazis, Kirchen und andere Glaubensgemeinschaften systematisch zu schwächen. In den Kriegsjahren wurden in der "Provinzial Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Waldniel", wie man den Ort nun nannte, geistig behinderte Kinder und Jugendliche ermordet. Die zur Tötung bestimmten Kinder erhielten zunächst Luminal-Tabletten. In den frühen 50er Jahren nutzte die britische Besatzungsmacht das Objekt als Lazarett. Weiterführender Link: Bildmomente
Abandoned places It was by pure luck, that I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be an abandoned castle, while driving in the city of Liege in the French speaking part of Belgium . The old hospital "Le Valdor" was built in 1889. The castle-like building hides a huge monastery with kilometers of paths through corridors, cellars and attics. Although the building is completely empty, except for a number of chairs, it is still possible to recognize the sister/nurse dormitories, waiting rooms, offices, laboratories, consultation and operating rooms. There is an ominous sense of decay. The fence is high, topped with barbed wire, and in full view of the surrounding neighborhood. This first picture appears old, but it isn't. Enjoy the tour !
