The abandoned Ontario Silver Mine has an amazing array of claustrophobic tunnels with rickety elevators and carts, all in complete darkness. They also have a complete horse stable carved out of the rock deep in the mine (photos below).

Some shafts go ½ mile deep, and then horizontal, for miles.

  2. Heaven. I love the romance of ‘dead tech’.

  3. thanks…

    Vic: I uploaded a big wad of pixels for you on this shot… in case you want to zoom in and feel the rust… =)

  4. Lovely angle work, I really like the scaffolding on left and center/right. Good contrast with the rusting panels and wood frame.

  5. Weird, the little silver lamps on the side of the building look completely CG. I love the perspective as well.

  6. yeah…. this is where the little Pixar lamps go to die…

  7. Thanks for the detailed view Steve… I relish rust and its quiet process of undoing human creations… returning them to the soil from which they came.
