A Night In Providence

We started off the night with three of us. Saceist, DashingFlamingos, and myself. We were going to climb to the top of this new construction highrise and photograph the ongoing WaterFire ceremonies being held right next door. We arrived to a fenced off jobsite with a 24 hour security guard posted at the entrance. We found a second way in and headed up a few flights of back stairs. After 3 flights, the stairs stopped, but there was one more landing above. We found our way up and started our ascent to the top of the rickety scaffolding stairwell. We made it 11 stories up, before a flashlight was shining in my face from the floor above and a deep voice was asking us what the fuck we were doing there. We told him, and he led us back down, more amazed that we'd gotten that far past the first guard than anything else. He told us to come back another night, and has since blown us off in all further attempts to get back. Hell, the last picture of the first set was taken by the security guard who caught us. Good times.














We checked out the Train Bridge. Very peaceful at night.






We picked up DashingFlamingos friend Jessbats after that. Nobody in the group, aside from myself, had ever seen a train fly by overhead before, so we strolled over to the TapeArt Tunnel. Now they have.




We got so bored we even dropped by the mausoleum to hang and check out the skyline.





The last view on our way out of Providence was our original destination, now lit up due to three little bastard kids who tried to sneak their way to the top.
