I found this abandoned place called “Schweinemarkthalle” in Karlsruhe at the “Alter Schlachthof” area. It’s the former location of an OPEL car dealer and before that it was the pig market hall of a slaughterhouse. Don’t know what it will be used for in the future.
Of course I went inside the building! Believe me, that was so disgusting! I think a few hundred pigeons live in there which all took off went I entered the building. I couldn’t stay inside because of the dust they raised. And the ground was covered with crap and dead pigeons. Uaaargh!!!
This is a HDR image from 3 exposures.
Update 2017: Today this building is a startup center called “Perfekt Futur”. Learn more here: http://www.perfekt-futur.de
Really a nice photograph
Wonderful contrast between the red, the brown building and the dark blue sky!
Schöne Aufnahme, diese rote Palette im Vordergrund gibt dem Foto etwas Besonderes, ohne sie wäre es wirklich “abandoned” …
Schöne Spannung zur roten Palette. war die wirklich rot oder ist das photoshopwork?
Great shot! Like the red wooden thing in the foreground.
I think the hdr makes the sky so dramatic, right?
