Dukes and Duchesses of the Deserted!
It's good to be back in the world of abandoned shit. Still trying to free my schedule up a bit, so I apologize for not having these winners posted yesterday. Anyway, lots of good entries. Lots of a good reads. Lots of a good photos. Lets take a look at the winners!
The Theme:
This week's theme = Windows! Your photos should feature the windows of an abandoned building or vehicle. Pretty straight forward here. I'll be pretty lenient on the theme ruling, just make sure a window is pretty prominent in your entry.
The results:
1st Place Winner - 10 x 100% Power Upvotes:
A lot of my judging is usually based on how much I'd love to see something in person. This entry by 
From the author: "Brăila's old water tower, dubbed the Water Castle, due to it's magnificent architecture. Built over a century ago, 1912 to be more precise, when it was the tallest building in the city, it served as a water tower for the few houses back then that were connected to the city water supply."

2nd Place Winner - 5 x 100% Power Upvotes:
I kept coming back to this entry. I love the old tower and how you can see some sky showing through the windows on both sides. I also really like the shrubs and grasses growing on the roof. It also gives me an idea for future contest!
From the author: "These pics are the ruins of Casagwa Church in Bicol, Albay.
It was the remnants of a 16th-century Franciscan church, It was originally built in the town of Casagwa in 1587 but was burned down by Dutch pirates in 1636."

If this were a pure photography contest, this would have certainly taken first! The actual place is big time worthy of the top 3 though. This bit of seaside fortress is just awesome. Even in the foreground, you can see some old walkway stones or something, slowing getting swallowed up by the sea.
From the author: " lWell, another shot from recent visit of this insane place. Remains of old beginning of XX century Tsar's fortification slowly sliding into the Baltic Sea. Perfect colourful sunset"

"I love to imagine how this corridor must have looked like al those years ago... Now, the wall on the right has cracks in the paint, the windows don't have any glass in it anymore, dirt on the floor of the small corridor. But, and that's what made me select this picture, you can still clearly enjoy the abundant nature while looking through the window! "
