Description Here is something a little different from my usual wilderness nature photos. I guess you could call this 'urban' or 'vintage' photography? It's not exactly 'urban' though, being located in the small inland town of Glenreagh, NSW Australia. The station is overgrown and the buildings are in poor condition. The water tank and signal frame are still present, along with some decaying rolling stock in the yard. I love the feeling of this place, very eerie especially at night.

Woah!! That's so amazing! I wish I could go there... I love old and weathered places like that. Did you see any ghosts there when you went?

I just like imagining all the people that must have actually used it at one point, all going by in like super speed time dilation.

It does make you wonder doesn't it
I am actually thinking of ideas to incorporate a group of people sitting inside the train as if it's working again.. Maybe even a zombie photos shoot would be interesting, something different...

Interesting shot. Is this the inside of that train you did the night shot over? Would be a cool place for portraits.

Yes, correct this is the interior of the old carriage. I was going to jump in this one for a selfie, but decided my ugly face wasn't going to do it any justice hehe.

You could always hide your face Drew. Bring a bandana or something next time. Just make sure if you do any noodz that you sanitize the shit out of that place.
