The entrance to an old coal mine can still be found in a parking area behind a house in the mountains around here. It was tapped out in 1971 but the nameplate can still be seen over the entrance. An explosives depot, winch room, coal loader, and some railway tracks can also be located on site. Beware of dogs on the property!

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.
