Old factory (now being torn down)

Last month, I had the chance to visit a massive factory that was amazing to visit, but sadly will be torn down soon. In fact, they have already started and when we walked to the hole in the fence that could get us inside, we walked past a number of bulldozers and massive trucks (those tires are larger than me!). 

In a few weeks/months, there won't be anything left of all of this, and by the time you read this, many of these pictures might be the last that are taken before it's torn down. Sad for the urbexer in me, but also kinda cool to think that I have something that doesn't exist anymore 🙂 

I have no idea what this thing once did (or how anyone lifted it from the floor to turn it against the wall?) and I really don't want to know what on earth the smell was 😀 Most of this factory smelled like "normal abandoned factory" but this room was REEKING ohmygod 😀

Thesee stairs look sketchy, but they were actually quite solid and I had nothing to fear walking up. The rest of the building... There were lots of things that had fallen down from the ceiling, and a few things actually fell down while we were there, so I was constantly looking up to see if I would get killed from above, and only stumbled into holes in the floor like three times 🙄 

Here's another stairs leading up to some kind of foreman office or something, it was overlooking a large part of the old factory floor below. I kept wondering what it would be like to work there, sitting above dozens of other people and watching them work (or yelling at them to get back to work?). Must be weird to live that kind of life, feel super important, and then a lady of class kicks pebbles in the last remains of that oh-so-important life. I'm sure whoever worked there would have a thing or two to say about useless neverdowells like me setting foot in his office. Or maybe they were super nice, who knows?

No telling what these machines once did, but I love this shot. The way the light fell in through the broken windows was super cool, even better in person. There was such a strange silence in the room, as if the windows weren't just not broken, but in fact super duper thick and no noise from the outside could get in. Must have been another building blocking all the noise from the road. In other places, we could hear cars driving by (this was right next to a very busy street) all the time, but in here it was almost scarily silent.
