Haus am Park I Urbex Art I Samara Blue Photo Art I Lost Place I Urbex Art Photography I Urbexart I My Way of Art I Samara Blue I Dreamtime Lost Place | Haus am Park return An old, abandoned place, yet far too little time to explore and photograph all the furniture and personal belongings left behind. Even so, it was a fascinating adventure. You can find the complete story here: (...) Haus am Park | Entrance Still dazzled by the sunlight, we find ourselves stepping directly into the living room. Apparently, there is no entrance hall at all. Haus am Park | Kitchen An almost surreal atmosphere of gentle sunlight and fine dust surrounds us. In the dim light, the charm of a traditional old German home slowly emerges. Haus am Park | Kitchen The kitchen still feels as though someone had been living here not so long ago. Dust settles gently over the furnishings, while the disorder is the only thing that disturbs this quiet moment frozen in time. Haus am Park | Kitchen A small red heart❣️ in the window. Once a charming kitchen decoration, today a quiet reminder framed by a weathered window. Haus am Park | Kitchen Torn out cupboard doors reveal a small supply of everyday groceries. Apparently, there was no time to take them. Haus am Park | Garden View Through the cloudy windowpanes, battered garden furniture and the remains of numerous flower pots become visible – silent witnesses to a once lovingly tended garden. Haus am Park | Living Area Heavy, dark living room cabinets dominate the room. Even the bar compartment, with its almost complete collection of glasses, looks as though it is still waiting for its next guests. Haus am Park | Living Area Only a few things remain: floral tableware, old VHS tapes and, right in the middle of the clutter, a beautiful dust covered doll. Was it placed there by the last urban explorer? Haus am Park | The Doll Forgotten memories. Was she once the favourite doll of a little girl or a treasured collector's item? Silent, she keeps her secret. Haus am Park | Celling Lamp Still hanging from the ceiling, the old lamp seems to have outlasted everything around it. Perhaps it was once the pride of its owners, bringing light and warmth to their home for many years. Haus am Park | Living Area There, on the sideboard, I found the highlight of the day: family photographs, almost all in black and white. Faces filled with memories of people I never had the chance to know. Their stories will remain their secrets forever. Haus am Park | Memories Carefully arranged. Some photographs are already very old. Different faces, different fashions, different dreams and hopes. As diverse as life itself. Haus am Park | Smile from the Past Among all these memories, a young man smiles proudly at the camera. I wonder what became of him. Haus am Park | A Smile Remains As I walk on, my eyes wander one last time across the cluttered sideboard. The sadness of the disorder slowly fades, but the young man's smile stays with me. Haus am Park | Little Sister The little sister of the slightly kitschy ceiling lamp. My grandmother would certainly have liked it. Haus am Park | A Snapshot Unfortunately, I still had my telephoto lens on the camera, and there was no time to change it. So, I wasn't able to capture the shots I had hoped for. Haus am Park | Guest Bathroom The guest bathroom... complete with a step ladder. Any questions?😂 Haus am Park | One Last Look One last glance lingers on the pinboard. So many traces of a life once lived, and so many questions that will probably remain unanswered forever Continue Haus am Park | A Spontaneous Adventure Info Haus am Park One warm summer weekend, the three of us spontaneously decided to head out on a Lost Place adventure. Our destination was this unassuming apartment building in Germany's nearby Eifel region. It had stood abandoned for decades, was hardly known and, remarkably, had not yet been vandalised. One of my colleagues planned to make her way through the extensive gardens to reach the back of the house and let us in through the front door from the inside. We didn't really want to know any more details than that... The moment the house came into view, a man suddenly sat down on a nearby wall. His dog seemed perfectly used to this and did... absolutely nothing. It simply lay there. Was this really such a good idea? After all, we only wanted to have a look. So we strolled through the beautiful little park first. The only odd thing was this man with his dog, who now walked towards us, giving us a long look from head to toe. To be fair, our sturdy hiking clothes probably didn't make us look like ordinary park visitors. Maybe we'd better observe the situation a little longer and look for a parking space closer to the house. So... back to the car. Our instincts were quite clear. "No... this doesn't feel right." "Let's leave and find another place to park." After dropping off our local expert at the right fence, the two of us took another relaxed walk through the park. I happily photographed its peaceful atmosphere while my partner kept an eye on the mysterious man with the dog, who didn't seem to know exactly where he wanted to go either. Everything felt perfectly relaxed. For the moment... ________________________________________ For a short while we split up so we wouldn't lose sight of him. When we met again, a postman suddenly stopped beside us. What were we doing here? He'd already seen some "photo people" around earlier that day. So I casually showed him the latest pictures on my camera. Naturally, the ones I had just taken in the park. Apparently he liked them, because within moments he enthusiastically started telling us stories about the area. About local history, groundwater levels, the people who lived there... and all those things you never really expected to learn. ________________________________________ As we passed the house once again, the front door suddenly opened. Our colleague had obviously managed to fight her way through the undergrowth and was now letting us in from inside. So, against my better judgement, and completely innocent of course, I entered the house. I do enjoy these little human encounters... By now our attentive citizen seemed to have disappeared, so I cautiously began my first, still fairly relaxed, tour. ________________________________________ While we were quietly taking in the atmosphere, a message arrived from our third team member. "Our good citizen is standing on his balcony." Well... let him. It's his balcony after all. An almost surreal atmosphere of sunlight and drifting dust surrounded me. In the dim light, the charm of a traditional old German home slowly emerged from the shadows. I was captivated instantly. The place was untidy. But nothing had been vandalised. Nothing had been covered in graffiti. What could have caused its former residents to leave so suddenly? ________________________________________ Our third man remained outside. We tried to take as many photographs as possible. But first things first. Where exactly was the escape route? Ah... The bathroom. With a step ladder. Apparently another ladder was waiting outside. Well... that sounded like a plan. Still, it was a shame to have to work under pressure. ________________________________________ Where should I even begin? Very little time. Very little experience. No chance to change lenses. Poor light. Pretty much a typical working day for an urban explorer. ________________________________________ After several rather hectic attempts, I suddenly discovered them. Old family photographs. Black and white. Smiling faces. Precious memories. Exactly the things that inspire me. Don't think. Raise the camera. Press the shutter. Then quickly on towards the staircase. There were supposed to be several more floors. Who knew what treasures might still be waiting for us? ________________________________________ It's a pity I wasn't much better at photographing in low light back then. Take a deep breath. Start again. Maybe the flash will help. It does. Unfortunately, flashes can also be seen from outside through half closed blinds... ________________________________________ Once more my eyes wandered across the ground floor. Reluctantly, I tore myself away. ________________________________________ But we still wanted to explore at least one more floor... ________________________________________ One last look back towards the front door. Bathed in the evening sun, everything suddenly seemed strangely peaceful. ________________________________________ Then our colleague came running from the back of the house. She hurriedly gathered her equipment. "Someone's at the front door. They want to come in. They expect us to open it." Needless to say... "Maybe we should have..." 😉 Oops... Where exactly was that escape route again? As so often in situations like this, first impressions can be wonderfully misleading. ________________________________________ Backpack on. Camera around my neck. My monopod dragging somewhere behind me. No mercy for the equipment. After all, my last relay race at school had been quite a few years earlier. Window open. A little small... ...but manageable. Now where on earth was that promised ladder? Oh... About one metre away from the window. Not happening. Quick glance down. About two metres. That'll be faster. So I probably fell out of the window more than I jumped. No. Thorn bushes have never bothered me very much. ________________________________________ Only our colleague knew the exact way back. From somewhere behind me she loudly directed me through the overgrown back gardens. Maybe just a little faster... It's amazing how large and labyrinthine these hidden gardens can be in the middle of a town. A brief stop. The camera has to go into the backpack. The old Nikon certainly isn't to blame. Quick check. Everything's there. Nothing broken. Nobody following us. Just a few more steps. The final fence. I somehow manage that one too... ...although with rather shaky knees. ________________________________________ Well... what can I say? It was pretty cool. 😄 Did you like this report?

Yet for me, every visit is still a new journey of discovery. Every place has its own story to tell. Through my camera, I try not only to capture abandoned buildings but also their atmosphere, the traces of time, and the emotions they evoke in me. My goal is to give each Lost Place its own unique identity - my personal perspective that I would like to share with you. For every location, I gather as much background information as possible about its history, its development, and ultimately its decline. Not every mystery can be fully uncovered, and perhaps that is part of the fascination these places hold.

Samara Blue I Wer bin ich? Was treibt mich an? I Meine Kameras I Meine Visionen I Meine Ideen I Meine Wünsche und Vorstellungen I Urbexart I Dreamtime I My Way of Art I Lost Place I Streetart My Way of Art | Just Me return Kerstin Ellinghoven aka Samara Blue Hi, I'm Kerstin Ellinghoven - better known online as Samara Blue. This name comes from my time as founder and dancer of the Moonlight Dancers, a group that combined oriental dance and fascinating fire shows. This creative phase shaped me and the name still accompanies me today on my artistic paths in digital and photo art as well as local photo reportages. How I got behind the camera My love of photography began indirectly with the search for cool pictures of my fire shows. That's when I met Dark Lord Ellia, a photographer and artist from Krefeld - and now my husband. I'm still waiting for the promised fire photos, but I discovered that my place is behind the camera and not in front of it. I dedicate myself to photography with a lot of passion and curiosity, am constantly learning new things and usually let my gut feeling guide me. My old Nikon D700, without automatic controls, is my favorite - it demands real craftsmanship and connects me more intensely with my subjects. Although I don't do photography professionally, I see it as my creative form of expression. I love capturing special moments for people - from emotional weddings and sensitive baby belly shoots to glittering oriental dance shows. Capturing emotional memories for dancers is particularly close to my heart. It fulfills me to give them pictures in which they like themselves - a feeling that for me goes far beyond my own time on stage. Lost Place Fotografie My entry into photography began with lost places - thanks to my husband, who initially took me to such abandoned places. My fascination for the stories and backgrounds of these places eventually led me to create my website “Samara Blue - Urbexart”. Even though my focus today is on digital art, this name reminds me of my photographic beginnings. My approach was never to cover as many spots as quickly as possible. I wanted and still want to feel the atmosphere of the places, discover their stories and bring them to life through my pictures. Every project is time-consuming: from discovering the places to researching, selecting and editing the photos. I consciously take the time to capture the uniqueness of each place and gather background information. Lost places, often forgotten buildings from recent history, are more than just backdrops for me - they tell of life that once was and stimulate the imagination, allowing us to participate in long-gone history. Lost Place Photograpy Streetart & Magische Orte I came to the subject of street art rather by chance. Many of my photos show colorful graffiti and urban artworks that were simply too good to gather dust on my hard drive. Fascinated by the stories behind these works, I began to research artists and find out their intentions. It gets particularly exciting when artists like Ben Mathis, Klaus Klinger or Karsten Breidenbroich share their insights. The Kiefernstraße in Düsseldorf with its beautifully colored houses remains a project close to my heart - a vibrant hotspot of urban art that is constantly changing. I am also always fascinated by the regularly recurring urban art events in Krefeld. They not only offer inspiring works of art, but also the perfect opportunity to get in touch with artists. These encounters give me a deep insight into their creative processes and enrich my view of their works. As a Krefeld native, my photographic heart naturally goes out to the regularly recurring urban art events. In addition to great pictures, there are also many opportunities to get in touch with the artists and gain a deeper insight into their creative process. I am also interested in unusual places with history or a special atmosphere. One example of this is the Schlaraffia Crefeldensis in “Et Klöske” - a fascinating place that I had the opportunity to photograph. It was a very special encounter, as women are not usually allowed in here. Projects like this give me the opportunity to make stories visible and capture places in a special way. Urban art and special places - for me, both combine photography and curiosity in their most beautiful form. Urbanart Krefeld 2023 Urbanart Krefeld 2015-2021 Dü-Kiefernstraße Magische Orte Digital Art, Photography & Words Digital art is my main focus at the moment - a creative focus that fulfills and inspires me. Thanks to my husband, I discovered DAZ Studio, a medium that allows me to create diverse scenes with characters, animals and environments. Perspectives and lighting are similar to real photography. Even though this work requires patience, practice and lots of experimentation, I find it a fascinating way to create images and often complement them with suitable words. This often results in small, magical stories. During the pandemic, this kind of creativity became an important part of my everyday life - and it still is today. I am particularly proud that some of my works are sold through the art print publisher Printler. This motivates me to try out new themes and processing options - even if not every experiment succeeds. Artificial intelligence in my work: I look at the topic of AI with interest, but use it sparingly. I rarely use AI for backgrounds, as it is important to me to have as much control as possible over the process of creating an image. For me, AI remains an exciting but complementary tool that will probably be indispensable in the art world in the future. But it will never be able to replace an original photograph that captures real moments. Pictures and words - one unit: For me, pictures and texts often belong together. A picture is only complete when I have found the right text to complement or underline its message. When I write, I see myself less as a copywriter and more as a creative writer. I enjoy organizing thoughts, telling stories and bringing images to life with words - intuitively and with a lot of passion. This is my way of discovering art in all its facets and passing it on. Digitale Art Art Print Publisher PRINTLER Homepage - Design The history of my homepage: The design of my homepage is also part of my creative process. It was originally created to present my dance activities. At the time, I thought long and hard about whether I should write it myself or use a modular system and deliberately opted for the latter. Instead of immersing myself in source code, I wanted to put my energy into content. Today I rely on Wix, but even here it takes more than just clicking a few buttons. Templates have to be adapted, elements put together harmoniously and mobile views optimized. The requirements of cell phones and tablets in particular often require extra fine-tuning. Changes by the provider bring additional challenges - and sometimes it is unavoidable to intervene in the source code, even if I would rather avoid it. Despite all the small obstacles, working on my homepage remains an ongoing project - and I love it! For me, it's like a modern-day glossy picture album from my childhood, and tinkering with it is simply part of it. Hobbys My creative passions: Working with the 3D program DAZ Studio and the subsequent post-processing are currently one of my most time-consuming hobbies. There is so much to discover, try out and refine that I never get bored. Photography remains my passion, which I am constantly developing. I still really enjoy holding the camera in my hand and experimenting with new techniques. Reading is essential for me - not a day goes by without an interesting book. Every book that my husband and I get our hands on also gets a permanent place in our home. Cooking and especially experimental baking are also among my favorite pastimes. My husband always benefits from this too, of course! In the colder months, we like to play 'World of Warcraft', another, unfortunately also rather PC-heavy passion. To get away from the screen for a bit, I tend to our organic garden and try yoga, which I hope is a good way to meet new people. Last but not least, I'm rekindling my old passion for designing and tailoring clothes. I finally have a sewing machine again and my fabrics and patterns will no longer be gathering dust in the corner. Lots to do, but I'm looking forward to everything that comes my way - after all, there are 24 hours in a day! My Creative Journey What does creativity mean to me? For me, creativity is an ongoing flow that cannot be captured in rigid rules or measurable results. It is a path that I follow to enrich life with my own unique forms of expression. From handicrafts to art: Even as a child, I made everything I could find. Creative courses and new techniques constantly broadened my horizons. As my experience has grown, I have always found new forms of expression that make me happy - be it through dance, photography or creative photo reportages. Creativity without limits: Photography came into my life over eight years ago when my husband introduced me to the world of digital cameras. With a camera in my hand, the world suddenly felt like a new, limitless creative medium. It was a turning point - and the freedom to create images that I felt myself was like an epiphany. Digital art and 3D design: At the end of 2021, I came across the 3D program DAZ Studio. This new creative world allowed me to experience digital art in a completely different dimension. The process of learning and discovering always challenges me anew. Creativity is spontaneity and emotion: for me, creativity is an interplay of head, heart and soul. It loves the unplanned and unbound. It requires patience and time to unfold. It is the moment in which an image comes into being and, for me, forms a harmonious whole. Creativity is more than technique: creativity cannot be forced according to a plan or a formula for success. It is unpredictable and often comes when you least expect it. But that is precisely what makes it so unique and valuable. My art is my hobby: my art is not a competitive act, but an expression of my personal joy and satisfaction. It gives me the freedom to express myself and to share this inspiration with others, without any thoughts of competition. Creativity as a universal language: I believe that creativity is a universal language that can connect us with each other. It helps us to think outside the box, explore new paths and experience life in a deeper, more colorful way. Conclusion: My art is my hobby, my creative path. It fulfills me, enriches my life and allows me to keep discovering new things. And that is what true creativity is for me - the constant, colorful flow of ideas that never stand still and are not bound by any obligations or conditions. That is a piece of freedom for me. Lots to do, but I'm looking forward to everything that comes my way - after all, there are 24 hours in a day! Awards & Honors A selection of official recognitions for my digital artwork.

But not every statement I make reflects my deepest thoughts. Here I share with you some principles that are important to me - the thoughts that I really stand behind. My principles: Follow your dreams. A life without dreams? Not my thing. I will always follow my own dreams, even if they are not easy to realize at times. Quality over quantity: I'm not interested in posting what feels like a thousand pictures every day. If I have something to show, it's good and I do it with conviction. If I can't think of anything, then that's fine too. Just don't huddle. There is strength in calm. I take the time I need. Age is just a number. The path is my goal, even if it's bumpy, and there's always something new to discover, no matter what stage of life I'm at. I don't run after anything or anyone. I go my own way. I find peace within myself, because that is the place that suits me. I can't do anything with “fishing for compliments”. If I like what I have created, then it is good for me. Don't talk about me, talk to me if you have something on your mind. Status, possessions and intelligence mean little to me. The true value of a person lies in the way they treat me and others. I like myself with my strengths and weaknesses. If I want to learn something, then I do it. But I don't have to be able to do and like everything because others do. There is no such thing as perfection. I am open to new things and welcome honest criticism, but even without feedback I stay true to my path. Anyone who wants to can accompany me part of the way, but no one will tell me where to go. For me, respect, honesty, tolerance and loyalty are the basis of every relationship, whether in the family, among friends or elsewhere. Some things have to grow and develop. Nothing can be forced. That's what drives me. To be creative, to grow and to go my own way, in my own personal way, and to feel free and alive in the process. With this in mind, have fun browsing and be patient if it takes a while for a page or a topic to be finished. It's my time :-). Your s Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Krefeld in November 2023 Up

Urbexart I Verhaltenskodex I Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints, keep nothing but memories! No goes! I Samara Blue I My Way of Art I Dreamtime Code of Conduct for Urbexers return Other people's property is respected Every abandoned place has an owner, even if they don't seem to care. That is to be respected. As urbexers, we do not destroy anything and do not open doors and/or windows by force. We treat everything we find with respect! Take nothing, leave nothing That would be theft. Our impressions, which we capture with the camera, remain as memories. A Lost Place is not a free dump. It should go without saying that no rubbish is left behind. No spraying Many spots are decorated with countless motifs. I refuse. Not only because it's forbidden, it also changes the spirit of the place and thus violates the Urbexer Codex, even if some sprayers are true artists. No smoking For me, as a non-smoker, that's easy. If the smokers among us don't want to go without, a small pocket ashtray does a good job and usually looks stylish. Especially on hot, dry days, you should be extremely careful with open fire because of the increased risk of fire. For the sake of completeness, the glass balls should also be mentioned here, with which ambitious photographers like to achieve special effects. They act like a magnifying glass! Always be mindful and careful, detailed planning in most cases we are on a kind of "construction site". The buildings can be dilapidated, supporting metal parts rusted. Components from ceilings etc. can fall. The floor may contain hidden nails or the like that could injure you. Not to forget that toxic gases and the like. can escape. The dangers can be as diverse as the different spots. For this reason it is always advisable to conduct detailed research on the place to be visited. You can inform yourself well beforehand in forums etc. if you plan to visit a mine, a shaft, etc. Unfortunately, there have been a number of accidents here recently, including those of obviously experienced urbexers. Never go alone It is best to go in pairs or threes. If someone is injured, one can get help, the other stays with the injured person. Also, you can't be sure who else is in a place like this. Copper and similar metal always encourages theft, and people may have sought shelter there who do not necessarily react friendly to visitors. Gear There are many very detailed reports on the net about the equipment. Ultimately, everyone will find the right/necessary equipment for themselves. But I would like to give some basic recommendations here: sensible shoes with firm soles, preferably good hiking shoes or work shoes that do not let any sharp parts, eg rusty nails, through. I got myself S3 work shoes. Torch, two-way radios, as cell phone networks tend to fail at important moments, and of course the camera/camera cell phone, depending on your preference. Park discreetly No additional explanation is really needed here. Just look around and think about what curious fellow citizens might notice. It's worth taking a few steps to do this. Observe traffic/parking regulations! Do not make locations public Really finding cool spots is not that easy. That's basically a good thing, because these places are not only frequented by history and photo buffs. In addition to the wanton destroyers and the ubiquitous sprayers, the guild seems to have grown massively in recent times to include the young adventurers. Young people who think it's cool to get a kick out of something forbidden. The deserted place is not in the foreground here, but unfortunately more and more irresponsible behavior. It is therefore very important that the addresses are handpicked and passed on. Think beforehand whether the person to whom you entrust your place will continue to treat it in your interest. No photo posted, no matter how great, should be worth unnecessarily discrediting the Urbex scene and yourself. Continue

More than 23,000 readers followed these stories at the time, which meant a great deal to me. When the platform was discontinued in 2026, the articles unfortunately became unavailable to the public. It was a reminder of how short lived even digital publications can be. That makes me appreciate even more that the memories, photographs, and stories continue to live on here on my own website and remain part of my creative journey to this day. This website is not intended for commercial purposes. It is intended for private use only. All pictures and texts are subject to my copyright, otherwise they are marked separately.

In this case, please contact this person. Copying my texts or parts of them is also not a problem if you properly identify the source. I am not emphasizing this because I consider my pictures and texts to be particularly valuable. It's because a lot of work goes into both and I expect them to be handled correctly as respect for someone else's work. And no, the proof of origin "The big, wide internet/web" does not fulfill the task of a proof of source. In the texts, information and images I use, I take great care not to infringe any copyrights and to properly document all sources.

Although she seems nice, she is often overlooked and thus gains insight into many adult things that are not really suitable for such delicate beings. She is always critical of her surroundings and is not easily fooled. Together with her wooden friend Woody B., she rummages through many an adult life, experiences all kinds of adventures and uncovers one or two inconsistencies that we grown-ups might not like to hear. Even if both kids seem nice and harmless at first glance, they also have their dark sides, which they regularly pursue. A little precocious perhaps, but mostly appropriate, the two of them share their childhood wisdom with us. As life for two can get a bit boring in the long run, other funny, strange or obscure characters and animals, preferably cats, appear over time to expand and complete the Child Hood menagerie. Sometimes characters from the human or fantasy world will also be guests, if they have something interesting to say. Basically, the intention here is not to be completely serious. The pictures and figures are meant to be viewed with humor and a smile. If here and there a personal nerve is struck, then that's just the way it is, not meant maliciously and everyone should take the statements as they see fit and how they want to interpret them for themselves at that moment. Just drop by from time to time in the funny, but sometimes not only children's world. weiterlesen lyrics weite lesen Childhood Wisdom Did you like these pictures? Feel free to leave a comment :-). Up Info Design Zitate Behind the Artwork I use photos that I have captured with my camera, 3D graphics that I have created with DAZ Studio and images that I have generated with various Ki apps as the basis for my slogan images. Even though I am still a little ambivalent about the use of Ki-generated images, they are now part of my art. Since art and creativity in general never stands still, but is an interesting path for me and is constantly evolving, I'll see where the artistic journey will take me. This collection will grow steadily and the look will continue to evolve, just as life writes the stories. Just drop by again!
