There is such phenomenal beauty in abandoned places to me. I really connect to the emptiness and I love the feelings of loss and decay. That may sound odd, but I don't know how else to describe it and I have no idea why I like it.

The addition of the graffiti art is just perfect for this setting. There are so many stories and emotions wrapped up in those creations.

I would love to renovate a place of steel and stone into a minimalist home of clean, sharp lines with exposed elements of what lay beneath to break the large, white surfaces

This sounds like absolute perfection to me. My wife and I have talked extensively about buy an old school, small factory, church, etc to renovated and make modern and minimalist. Maybe if I keep chugging with Steemit it will be sooner rather than never....lol
