Good spots require good attitude 😌🏚️ Urbex, or Urban Exploration, is the activity of exploring man-made structures, typically abandoned ruins or sites not generally accessible to the public, focusing on documenting their decay and history under the principle: "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints." The phrase "no graffiti = run" is a common piece of urbex advice suggesting that a location entirely free of graffiti is likely still active, secured, or heavily monitored, indicating a high risk of getting caught and prompting immediate departure. However, experienced explorers understand that in order to discover the best, most pristine, and historically untouched spots, they must often downplay this rule, as the most valuable locations are precisely those that have successfully maintained high security and visibility, thereby keeping out vandals and graffiti artists, meaning greater reward often necessitates accepting the greater risk associated with a "clean" location. #urbex #urbanexploring #urbanexploration #abandoned #abandonedplaces
