Why are abandoned buildings so creepy and cool?
I took this pic yesterday; it’s one of many old structures at the defunct military base in Hamilton Field, Novato.
Creepy!

Northern Marin County, which is 40 minutes north of San Francisco. 🙂

November 16th, 2009 at 5:46 pmThat is so gorgeous. Is it really abandoned and you can go in and out as you wished? I think abandoned buildings are very evocative.

There was a broken window in the basement area… I could’ve snuck in if I wanted to but I’m waaay to chicken!

Thanks for that link — I really enjoyed it!
All those pics make me really want a wide angle lens, sigh.

November 16th, 2009 at 7:05 pmI am totally obsessed with abandoned buildings! In fact just last weekend the hubbie and I were trying to find places (other than the Presidio) to go take photos and were at a loss. Have you heard of the Drawbridge ghost town near Fremont? They now have it blocked so people can’t get to it. Here is link:http://www.ghosttown.info/ca/drawbridge/
I REALLY want to check out an hold abandoned mental hospital or prison, sigh.

Nope, I’ve never heard of that town (and I grew up near that area, too).
I think you gotta head to the East Coast to find old stuff… there doesn’t seem to be a lot around here!

That cake sounds like something I’d LOVE! Urgh, my stomach just rumbled, LOL!
