Since I overhauled our website and removed all our topside locations I've been meaning to add threads for each one here in way of atleast having them online somewhere. No idea how frequently I'll get around to adding them, here's another.
I do not apologise for the quality of the photos! Photography was not then and is not now my reason for exploring.
Buncefield Oil Depot
We visited the explosion site two days after the main explosion. The place was still very much alight and risk of further explosions was considerable (apparently). The site and its surrounds were like nothing I have ever seem before. 100% post-apocolyptic! So much so it just didn't seem real, was more like a film set than an actual location, very eerie.
The nearest residence to the depot
The adjacent Fuji Building and parked car
A car on Cherry Tree Lane, Fuji Building in background
Street signage
Tanks and car park debris
Obliterated trees and flammage
Flames and smoke reach into the sky

A JCB drowned and surrounded by fire
The blasted and burnt Northgate Building
