The Abandoned Essex County Jail Annex in Caldwell, NJ | Abandoned America

One of my favorite abandoned prisons, the Essex County Jail Annex was not only amazingly photogenic, but hosted a rather frightening breakout attempt during my own visit. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.

Can't get the alt text to work for the life of me (keeps hanging when I hit add) so here it is until it gets fixed: A parking lot in front of a dreary, multistory stone building beneath a grey sky. On the largest section of the building, a rusty bank of windows stretched up multiple floors. Signs over two doorways read "food" and "trash"

I started using the #TrunksApp and it works really well, seems to be a very stable beta. No issues with #AltTxt and has #filter and #list capabilities. You might want to check it out.

Yeah, I've heard the social instance has been getting attacked. Hang in there, I understand they are migrating the instance behind a protective wall.

Not sure if it's the same issue I hit but I ended up editing in alt text after when I hit something very close if not the same thing. I was on the Mastodon app on Android however.

I really enjoy your alt texts and appreciate the effort that you put into them. I can see your photos just fine, but there are often details that I overlook which are revealed by your very detailed (and imaginative) descriptions.

@johninparis thanks so much! They're a good writing exercise, never really thought much about how descriptive text would be before

In a way, they’re an insight into what you, the photographer, see and feel is important. It’s a nice touch.

The book was listed as out of stock on the website erroneously. Fixed it!

Looks prime for evil scifi citadel conversion. Just needs satellite dishes and spot lights, and it has loads of landings for it haha

@_CrabWithKnife_ this is very true. Even though it's somewhat unpleasant, it really is a striking building
