As an afterthought to our visit to Haw Par Villa [confusion.cc] recently a mate and I visited the former Mitre Hotel to take some abandoned places photos. Didn’t get as much as I wanted out of it. I know from a Flickr search [flickr.com] that many have taken very cool photos of the inside of the hotel. Unfortunately the place was locked down well and I could not get in to shoot the interesting stuff. Seems there are a couple of squatters that have taken to cleaning the place up quite a bit, and they have locked it down fairly well. Being that they were ‘home’ when we were there, we did not get to the interesting stuff. So only a few photos and not that exciting. But here they are.

I went to Haw Par Villa with a mate to shot photos for my “Abandoned Places” [flickr.com] collection and because I think abandoned places are cool. I don’t have a great eye to get the feeling across but I try. Haw Par villa is not actually abandoned, but it’s as close to it as you can come. I can’t imagine the government will keep it open too much longer. Click the image for the full set of photos. See Wikipedia [wikipedia.org] for more info on Haw Par Villa..
