I drove by it the other day and it looks so out of place in that industrial park. Your photo does it justice, portraying it as the lonely mansion on the hill. Looks like a scene from "a haunting". You should just move to Inglewood if you'd like to live in a haunted house. Most haunted place in the city. Personally there's so much bad energy coming outta that place I can;t even stand being in it for more than an hour. I would never live there. I love ghost stories and everything but am very sensitive to bad vibes (or whatever you want to call it).

That substation photo is amazing! I worked right next to that building last summer, it's a really nice old building. Interesting area too.
Awesome job!

Thanks DK, it's an awesome old building. Too bad it's just sitting there.


@O-tac, just because I want to live in a building that appears haunted, it doesn't mean I want to live in an actual haunted house.

Nice shots Surreal, I like the contrast between the aqua coloured glass and the sky.

I'm pretty sure that those are just off Alyth Rd in the SE. I know because I've taken a really shitty picture of those exact tanks.

^I figured that must be the case, judging by the nice weather. I can't wait for Spring to return.
