Entry for Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest - Week 1
Reflections from an Abandoned Church in Gary Indiana

I came across a new contest to make a post for and I could not resist keeping the reflection streak in tact for one more photo. Unfortunately for me this contest is about the location not about the artistic merit of the photograph. Well, ok, this is an amazing location though as well and I will follow up with some more shots to help make my case. The above shot is from the classroom area of the church.
Here is the main chapel, I posted a cropped version of this shot earlier here.

This is the church auditorium, or was.

I’ll wrap up with a shot of one of the staircases, featuring a bad ass bay window and some nice brick work.

Awesome I will make sure to participate in that as well!
looking forward to your entry
Wow some cracking shots here so grand even in disrepair! 💯🐒
Yeah grand is good word to describe this place! I have seen other abandoned churches but never this grand before. Gary Indiana is an interesting place, it boomed during the industrial age and then they closed all the steel plants so now the population is a fraction of what it once was. Most the buildings in town have been abandoned for 20-30 years now.
Sad it all goes to waste hey! you'll have loads of entries then ;) 💯🐒
What a cool abandoned place to visit and take pictures! Good luck with the contest, Brian :)
Thank you! This was a cool explore for sure!
It looks like a post-apocalyptic scene ! Great pics
Some creepy spots. THese would make great cinemagraphs.
Hollywood agrees with you! Transformers 3, nightmare on elm st, and other movies have scenes filmed in this church.
This is really cool!
Would love to shoot in that chapel!
Honored to have placed 2nd behind you in the ASW contest! Spectacular find!
Amazing photos, congrats on your win!
