Camp 30

It’s fascinating to learn the story behind some of the locations I shoot on my photo outings. I read some discussion online about Camp 30, a WWII POW camp near Bowmanville ON that was used to confine high ranking German officers. After seeing some images and hearing about this place from a friend, it made my must see list.

Recently I found myself nearby this location and decided to check it out. I don’t normally visit abandoned locations alone but this one had a lot of potential for shooting out on the grounds without going inside the buildings. Once there, I had an odd feeling walking around this site of several acres adjacent to a subdivision. It was so close to the urban buzz yet so isolated. All shots with the exception of the gymnasium were shot through broken windows or open doors.
