Transfig Church, Upstate NY Oct 2014

Another day, another death trap.

After we finished at the massive silos we made our way to a more normal derp, a large church which is now in serious disrepair. It's not often I'm in places which are currently falling down, as several large chunks of ceiling plaster crashed to the ground whilst we were inside - thankfully not on top of us!

Not much to say about this place really, it's a big church and it's very very sketchy inside.

A large section of the ceiling in front of the altar collapsed not long before my visit, the weight of the debris then collapsed the floor underneath it making this part especially hazardous.

They led up the belltower, but it was so dark and narrow up there and the rest of the place was so treacherous I didn't fancy my chances...

Nice ceiling, its very NOISY. Great shots and yeah, certainly looks like a death trap
