Amy's Winehouse - visited december 2014

Especially for you, my UK-friends: Amy's Winehouse!

No report about the queen of soul though, rather about the queen of French industrial decay.

Once upon a time these winehouses were used to preserve wine before consumption.

It has a pretty rare and unique architecture, looks a bit like a prison, to keep wine instead of people.

This was our third attempt, driving all the way down to shoot this one.

First time we didn't get in, second time we even got caught before we made it to the building itself.

So this time: a lot of euforia when we finally made the inside.

We had to wait a little hour before sunrise, and saw the building slowly awaken

Still pretty dark inthere, and a bit fuzzy of all the birdshit, we took out our tripots and camera's.

Such a beauty!!!

I love this place a lot... too bad it's so hard, tricky and dangerous to get inside.

Such a pitty there ain't no possible entry anymore for the moment.

On the other hand, when the opportunity arises again, I would love to do a revisit!

Cheers

Had this one on my 'to do' list for a long time, but the distance has always put me off! It's such a unique looking spot, a prison for wines...

Thats a cool write up and I can see why you so like this location as so very different.

Great work with the perseverance and getting inside

Thanks for sharing as so good to see
