Beelitz-Heilstätten – I

Beelitz-HeilstättenNIKON D300 (17mm, f/4, 1/250 sec, ISO200)

After a fantastic road trip with my friend (and food blogger) Mikkel, the hard drive is packed with photos ranging from modern ruins to medieval ornamentation.
And this is the first of many from the ghost town sanitarium Beelitz-Heilstätten

It’s a motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking ’bout the good times
Thinking ’bout the bad
And i won’t ever be the same

Far out at sea
bathed in breeze
Now only ghosts
we haunt living dreams

I can’t resist doors like this one. Countless years of letting people in and out

Kaas Briketfabrik

NIKON D300 (17mm, f/2.8, 1/320 sec, ISO400)

This friday I spent a beautiful, sunny afternoon in and around the closed down Kaas Briketfabrik, that made peat briquettes from 1926 to 1966.
The factory closed down in 1966 and has been falling apart ever since. And now it looks like your own little version of Chernobyl.
Sad really but hauntingly beautiful. Once hard work was laid here, but now everything is so very, very quiet.

Tractor love

This is the story of two tractors in love.
Having spent countless years working together in the fields, they are now resting side by side.
Until rust will take them away.

I’ve been waiting for the longest time

Sometimes you get the feeling someone has been waiting.
Waiting for a long, long time.

“I was waiting for the longest time, she said. I thought you forgot.

It is hard to forget, I said, when there is such an empty space when you are gone.”

Now where did it I put…

Sometimes, when you stick your head through a hole in a wall, you end up staring at a (pretty) complete mess.

Blade (runner) blues

NIKON D300 (50mm, f/1.8, 1/15 sec, ISO100)

It is no secret that I name several of my photos after songs. I was thinking about what to call this, and I got stuck at blade and Blade Runner :)
Ironic since the gap between the two is substantial; from saw mill/nature to sci-fi/replicants.
But what a movie. And the the title for this post/the track below is fitting too for both the movie and this rusty old saw blade.
