A rural elementary school closed in 2002 and mostly left to the elements for many years. It was originally constructed for the children of the many people working in the now-vanished petroleum industry in this area. In the 2020s it was cleaned up and repurposed as a wildlife conservation center.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
