I used to like to break into old factories a lot.  I would root around for things I could take, or most often, just take photos.  For a while I had a job as a security guard at a closed factory.  I was told that the only reason the building was still standing was that the EPA was overseeing a cleanup of the compound.  This photo, of pipe work, was taken in one of the old buildings on the compound.  A few days after I had broken into that building to take this photo the building was wrapped in a huge plastic bag--for asbestos removal.
