Trespassing is not only against the law, but can result in arrest. Many abandoned places are patrolled by guards and the police.
Most abandoned places are dangerous. People have fallen through floors, through crumbling walls, impaled themselves with broken boards- they have stepped on rusty nails, gashed themselves with broken glass. Unless you want to run a high risk of injury, stay out.
Maureen Maliha does not reveal the names of places she photographs in order to help preserve the dignity, serenity and condition of these places.
Those who insist on exploring abandoned places should never, ever go alone.
Many buildings are not only structurally dangerous, but often harbor people who squat in their rooms, basements and attics. It is not unusual to stumble across wild animals, or sick animals while in and around abandoned places. Do Not Attempt to explore any place you feel is abandoned.
