Finally found a good time to slip inside the abandoned naval base at Hunters Point, and it was worth the wait. Some shots from the photo excursion:

Approaching building 600, a former barracks at the southeast tip of Hunters Point. The shipyard is the most toxic place in San Francisco, so I didn’t want to spend much time in this cesium-polluted wasteland. It took some serious problem solving to get inside this building, but it was worth it.

The building itself is a gutted shell filled with broken glass, empty lockers and ratty old mattresses.

…

10 floors of photogenic emptiness.

Living well. I didn’t come across much quality graffiti.

…

…

Whole set here.

Awesome photos! I have always wanted to see this building close up. I see often on my way to work. This building looks different close up than far away. Very well done!
