Industrial geometric
What: An old tower Where: Somewhere in Germany Why: This photo is hanging in my own livingroom, that is how much I like it. I think that by now it is clear I enjoy geometric shapes and this photo has quite some of that. It is a field full of lines and triangles, squares, hexagons, […]

One
What: Yksi storefront Where: Eindhoven (Netherlands) Why: The color drew my attention at first, but the Finnish name was certainly next. Looking through the window, one gets to see a quite industrial, somewhat silly design. Playful!

Factory
What: Industrial surrounding Where: Germany (location too urbex to share) Why: The industrial touch of this place is inspiring. The way the light came into the dark area, the old windows, the glass half broken sometimes, yet giving that distorted feel. Lovely to be around
