beelitz & oradour : i visited 'em. "advice" for beelitz : enter the premises near the railway station, not at the "main entrance" (sometimes guarded) & oradour is more than just an abandoned place, of course : very good museum there
well : beelitz is really worth "breaking into closed buildings", oradour is of course something different, a shame from history (there are some villages in italy too like that, population murderded by retreiving german troops) but still : a nice lesson from history both
mmm... nice neighbourhood... (i wonder what execution was over here in case of death penalty in those days - should look it up)
my finest explo of 2010 though was this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacri_Monti_of_Piedmont_and_Lombardy WEIRD ! (beelitz was also last year) (in fact : both were very very creepy) (lots of bats in beelitz)
guillotine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Belgium (and as usual firing squad in army cases) and now back to work earn money (to spend it again afterw)

They're pretty impressive looking, Peter. Would like a good gawk around them.

I am terribly disappointed not to see my blog listed. It was less toxic than Chernobyl, and twice as non-Russian.
ReplyDeletePeter, must get out exploring now I've got a new (old) Canon T70. well, I can't justify spending hundreds on a new version.
