On Dec 22nd, a photographer known as "Downfallen" was killed while BASE jumping in Switzerland. He combined it with Urban Exploration and created some of the most amazing photos of our city I have ever seen.

Click on the versions below for full size (top two might be slow to load).












This is actually one of his own videos, part 2 of "Best of 2007", posted by someone else as a tribute. It contains more of his work, and is an excellent showcase.



He also explored derelict London (photos in the link),

which reminds me to post this website:
DerelictPlaces.co.uk.

and this one, with details and a tribute forum thread
Urban Exploration Forums.

And you could also check out
Skyscrapercity.com (photo contest)


Tigers waiting to be tamed. Bye Darren, you'll be missed.

Some of the derelict London photos could be a set for Neverwhere. I love pictures like that.

Yep, go ahead. The 'derelict places' link will have some lovely stuff on it.
