Im heading to FRANCE tomorrow for 2 weeks to get into some abandoned places. Heres a map of our research. Green pins are a priority, the rest are backup spots. I also included a thread of some favourite photos from our last trip to France. Enjoy! See you all in 2 weeks!🙃

This is actually my photo thats been stolen. You can find it on my IG: @ the_sparkler. And the photo above is my husbands (IG: @ bando.bill). He used his vape clouds to get the rays of light to be more prominent. And I waited for the vape to dissipate a little before I shot it.

We went here 2 sunrises in a row in -20°c weather to try to capture the train coming around the bend, and it was a big failure. We waited 1.5 hours each day because we were told the train comes once an hour...and it just never came. Still not a bad image, I guess?🤔
