"Post Passion" At the time Michelangelo created his flawless and 2nd most famous sculpture "Pietà" he was only 24 years old. It took him less than 2 years from 1498-1499 to complete it. He was commissioned by French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères to create Pietà for his funeral monument. Michelangelo's Pietà had a few homes over the centuries & now resides behind bulletproof glass in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, after 1972 when crazed geologist took a hammer to it knocking off Mary's nose, eyebrow, & her left arm. This is the only piece of work that Michelangelo ever signed. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #jesuschrist #worldtraveler #Bnw #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #pieta #pietà #michelangelo #vaticancity #stpetersbasilica #vatican #sculpture #jesus #madonna #church #virginmary #rome #catholic #catholicism (at Vatican City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4E323SFYC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"What's Left of Twin Arrows" Originally named Canyon Padre Trading Post when it was built in the late 1940’s off the historic Route 66. It was renamed Twin Arrows in 1957 to pay homage to next stop, 2 Guns. 1 of 2000 famous Valentine Diners is located here, it’s badly damaged, but came ready to use when delivered & was created by Arthur Valentine out of Wichita, Kansas. Twins Arrows was owned by the Troxell Family from 1955 to 1985. When the I-40 was built in the 1970’s the “Best Little Shop on I-40” saw a decline. Twin Arrows closed in 1990 & reopened in 1995 but closed forever shortly after. Now this once popular stop sits in utter decay, slowing returning back into the ground. My UrbEx crew & I have revisited this place numerous times in past 15 years watching its steady decline & documenting its decay. #twinarrows #valentinediner #route66 #getyourkicksonroute66 #instagramaz #instaaz #DPGC_UrbanDecay #filthyfeeds #sfx_urbex #urbexworld #rsa_preciousjunk #UrbEx_supreme #partnersingrime #jj_urbex #trailblazers_rurex #grime_lords #nexus_army #urbanexploration #unitedbygrime #autopsyofAmerica #ProTravelers #way2ill #gameoftones #globe_travel #worldcaptures #unitedbygrime #discarded_butnot_forgotten #unitedstatesofdecay #abandon_af (at Twin Arrows Trading Post) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCVY78rurm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Overworked pt2" This place is sacred to me, like my better half. Like a song playing @ the exact right time. My inspiration was planted here as a tiny seed & the adventure grew into an uncontrollable need to explore the world. I lust to to learn about the past and document the beauty it holds in the form of decay & forgotten places. Del Pasco was 1 of the 1st ghost towns I ever visited. I was captivated by things I found here in 2010. Del Pasco is located high in the Bradshaw Mountains & was discovered on July 4, 1870. It was one of the riches gold mines in the world @ it's time. You will also find an abandoned 1956 School Bus, with 60's style wallflowers painted across the outside. It was talked about that this place might have been home to a hippie commune back in the 60's. There is also an old truck & mining equipment still there. 1 of the most complete wooden miners shack use to be found here with hay mattresses, iron tub & full kitchen. Sadly in 2012, the Gladiator Fire destroyed most of what was left. This bus, truck, & mining equipment is the only thing left now. I've been to Del Pasco numerous times before & after the fire, it's still a great find with lots of history. #DPGC_UrbanDecay #delpasco #instaaz #instgramaz #urbandecay #filthyfeeds #rsa_preciousjunk #UrbEx_supreme #partnersingrime #trailblazers_rurex #grime_lords #nexus_army #abandonedearth #worldcaptures #jj_urbex #unitedstatesofdecay #worldtraveler #canon_official #abandoned #ig_captures_decay #jj_delightfully_deteriorating #Grime_Nation #tour_through_desolation #rusted #inrustwetrust #rottenfeed #aband0n_all_h0pe #kings_abandoned #arizona #truckporn (at Bradshaw Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMWMasJEjy/?igshid=1aeq6fj8o3iqd

"The Onslaught of Glory" The small sovereign state of Vatican City can be found in Rome, Italy.

Vatican City is home to St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, & houses countless & priceless works of art including works from Michelangelo's Pietà & his painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

History flows through ever inch & echoes throughout every long luxurious hall. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #adventures #worldtraveler #ProTravelers #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #religion #vaticancity #art #vatican #sculptures #beauty #vatican #prettylittleitaly #virginmary #rome #catholic #catholicism (at St Peter's Basilica, Vatican City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6NqrnJJKx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“School’s Out Forever” Red Hill, New Mexico is found close to the Arizona boarder. Settlers starting settling here in the late 1920’s. This area can be found between much larger cities of Springerville and Quemado in New Mexico. Red Hill was named after the red hills that scatter this area that were formed from a volcanic eruption that happened over 26,000 years ago. This place is now home to many ranches and farm style homes. If you look closely, you can find the original store, post office, & school house. There are no roads to these places, you have to walk & go under a few fences. Luckily, we found a local resident to help us in find all of Red Hills original buildings.

“Master Place” Seneca, Arizona is only now survived by a shrinking Seneca Lake. Towering over the lake entrance is abandoned Cinema Park, its owned by the San Carlos Apache Tribe. In the 1970’s the tribe built a restaurant, camping grounds and cabins in hopes of building a hotel and golf course in the near future, but they defaulted on their loans and everything fell into disarray. This place now stands as a failed attempt and a beautiful stain. The lobby and cabins are badly damaged, graffitied, and ravaged. They grace the entrance of Seneca Lake as a dream that turned into a nightmare as the decade came to a close. #seneca #sancarlosapachetribe #instagramaz #instaaz #DPGC_UrbanDecay #filthyfeeds #sfx_urbex #apachetribe #arizona #UrbEx_supreme #partnersingrime #jj_urbex #camp #grime_lords #nexus_army #urbanexploration #unitedbygrime #autopsyofAmerica #ProTravelers #way2ill #gameoftones #globe_travel #worldcaptures #unitedbygrime #mastery #discarded_butnot_forgotten #unitedstatesofdecay #abandon_af #lodge #fireplace (at Seneca, Arizona)
