Abandoned buildings are my “new” favorite thing. I’ve always been fascinated with urban decay and have wanted to explore abandoned places, but until recently I had not really sought them out. This past Monday while I was in NYC (seems to be a bimonthly visit now), my sister and I took a wee road trip outside of the city to find this lovely decaying power plant. Unfortunately it was raining and the place was in a pretty sketchy area. It’s funny how a rainy overcast day in a sketchy part of town can make you a bit hesitant to enter a creepy decaying building. It was probably the smarter thing to do, but I would like to go back sometime and explore some more. Until then, here are some photos from the outside, and as usual more photos from this trip and any future trips to abandoned places around New York are here.

Somewhat disturbing graffiti . . . I am going to imagine it’s just someone stabbing marshmallows to roast over a fire.
