Urban ruins (Reference Shots)

[vcool]

Protip to all mappers:

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REMEMBER THAT GRAFFITI WRITERS ARE NOT NINJA'S!
They do need something to stand on underneath where they put the graffiti

/rant.

It just annoys me when i see graffiti in extremely hard to get places. for example; on the second story of a third story building with no ledge underneath and the ledge across from it being too far to lean from. please, look at reference pics of graffiti and realise that we are not ninjas! we can't just hug walls.

How will you explain giraffeitti (get it) I've seen in Germany that is high above on the side of thebuilding htat has no windows?

It's not too difficult to get a rope and hold someone while they're doing the painting.

case and point, Banksy, who dwells in my city. Most of his work he had to abseil down walls to tag a high, easily visible area

Resized these so I don't have to link them. Reposting for attention whoring.

Cori, where is that? It feels like the labs in SoC

It's an abandoned Atlas F thermonuclear missile silo. There are dozens of them around Kansas, luckily this one has been broken into and it's only 30 minutes from where I live. All of the pictures are either topside or of the launch control centers. The actual missile tube can be seen through a hole about two feet wide, but you can't get inside without falling 200 feet.

Looks like a good place to squat, is it a bit dangerous? O.O

Actually we are ninjas. Ladders are useful. Also, ropes are useful too when hanging from roof and painting on a wall.

I hope this shows the point:

Not ninja, maybe construction worker or home renovator, at best.

But don't put this kind of tagging in areas with good traffic, I could understand someone taking the time, risk, and effort to tag an out of reach portion of wall as long as there isn't a good chance that they will be caught. An abandoned industrial park makes sense, the shop across the street from the police station doesn't.(Then again, where was this picture taken, I might have been more generous in regard to the intelligence of the more tenacious graffiti artists)

[Pwnd_Ja]

No, we are ninjas. If there is a blank space on a wall ANYWHERE, we WILL find a way.
No exceptions.

Also, graffiti isn't illegal in all cities (None are like this in the U.S.) around the world, so a ladder wouldn't be out of the question.

[-ZOMG]

Why the fuck does everyone other than me live in interesting places?

My hometown doesn't even have an interesting name. It's "Crawley Down". What the hell is that?

[InterValve]

That is bad. I would consider moving if I were you.



You should see how many creepy places are in my town.It's the heaven of creepy.

/me will be going urban exploring with friends over the summer. So far the Palmerton Zinc Pile and Beury Building are on our list. I'll be sure to snap lots of pics

Just making sure everyone knows about this - http://www.opacity.us/locations/page/

Likely the best site out there for this stuff.

Awesome material!

Not very urban, but hey, an abandoned German settlement in the desert is cool too: http://einestages.spiegel.de/external/S ... /l0/F.html
