allfreetime Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Midrand Kwazulu Natal South Africa. Saw this place from the highway. Given my natural curiosity of abandon places I turned around to explore. Turns out a year earlier the only recorded tornado ever in the area had hit this one house and nothing else. It was a real eerie scene. Furthermore the area is a Zulu tribal reservation and come to find out this house had been owned by one of the only white families in the reservation and had been for 100+ years. I'm not spiritual or anything but it really semed like god had decided these people don;t belong there. Looters had taken anything of value including scrap metal, wires furniture etc. The first pic is the main driveway. To me it looks like nature had decreed that no one gets in or out of this place. Luckily the looters had created a bypass entrance. It seemed that all the knocked down trees were felled in the direction of the house.

allfreetime Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 It must of been a nice place. Looters had started to remove the parkay (or whatever it's called) floors This was the front of the house where people would of parked. Note the tree laying on top.

Ko SprueOne Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've worked with John Law on several projects. This is one cool, hard working and knowledgeable cat this thread is an appropriate place to locate this event information: Two Explorers Present Books and Images from 30 Years of Infiltration History http://www.sfstation.com/two-explorers-present-books-and-images-from-30-years-of-infiltration-history-e1093801 San Francisco, CA – John Law and Jonathan Haeber are a generation apart but they have a common interest. Their exploits have taken them from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, to the depths of underground nuclear missile bases, to the now-dismantled Neverland Ranch. On January 6th at 8 p.m. the two aficionados of infrastructure and building hacking will talk about their books and present images from a combined 30-year saga of photographing and exploring the off-limits sections of the Bay Area’s built environment. Law is best-known as a founder of such avant-garde San Francisco institutions as the Cacophony Society and Burning Man. He was a charter initiate into the Suicide Club, and recently published The Space Between (Furnace Press, 2008, ISBN 978-0-9772742-4-1). Haeber has been visiting restricted and abandoned sites for over a decade. In 2009, his nighttime photos of Neverland Ranch were viewed by millions, gaining new meaning upon the death of Michael Jackson and the dismantlement and liquidation of the theme park. Haeber’s work has appeared in The New Yorker online, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, Der Spiegel, the San Francisco Chronicle, and National Geographic News. His book, Grossinger’s: City of Refuge and Illusion (Furnace Press, 2010, ISBN 978-0-9772742-8-4) tells the story of America’s most iconic Catskills institution – a city unto itself that has remained decaying after the 1986 bankruptcy of the pleasure resort. “At the heart of what I do is a deep commitment to discovery and adventure,” said Haeber. “John [Law] has been a pioneer in redefining what discovery means over a century after Frederick Jackson Turner declared the death of the frontier, and I’m honored to be speaking with him.” Law and Haeber will be presenting their images and signing copies of their books at Chez Poulet Gallery (3359 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco) at 8 p.m. on Thursday, January 6th, 2010. You can also purchase the books directly from Furnace Press.
