Injured wildlife will always be extremely thirsty. Carry with you water, cheap leather gloves, and packets of sugar(you would get with ur coffee, you make sugar water). But as sad as it might look, Try just a little if you can.
It makes me sad to watch these videos of abandoned homes. You are so right, everything is transient. When my mom said she didn’t care about her prized possessions any more, I knew she was not going to be with us much longer. She passed 2 months later. RIP mom.
Beautifully sad. And yes, a reminder we are all dust in the wind as the song goes. Thank you fellas for showing us places we would never get to see otherwise. As a mom I must say....Be Careful And Wear Good Shoes! Don't breathe in the funk! 😻
Aww bless you for helping the animals. My tip is research vets, rescue centres etc especially specific to species such as birds, stray dogs, cats etc. in the area before you start your journey . Keep a note of phone numbers. Also Facebook groups usually have pages specific to areas. 🐦
I am close to tears to see such decaying beauty. The craftmanship and skills when these buildings were erected, the love when kitting out the rooms. A true glimpse into a world long gone. And we can see that happiness can't be bought. Money goes from one place to another. Due to misfortune, betrayals, crime, stupidity and so on. The best vlog I have ever seen about abandoned mansions, so gentle and wise, well spoken and intelligent. And no blaring background music, thanks for that. You deserve an award for this true masterpiece. The first villa with the hanging greenery is my favour. Quite funny that I've found out that my great grandmother was obviously Italian with the surname "Di Parma". I always dream about to own somewhere a mansion or palazzo in Italy, Parma region LOL. However, regarding your animal rescues - many thanks for looking after our little furry or feathery friends. I would recommend to have of course a first aid kit, tissues, perhaps those face/soap towels (like mini hand towels), a few pouches of cat food/beef) which are easy to transport and good nutrition also for meat eating birds (swallows, blackbirds, birds of prey),, cats or dogs, hedgehogs etc., a little fork (to mash the food) and a few small plastic dishes (use it as a bed for little hurt animals or feeding), sure you will have mineral water with you. And then of course a vet on speed dial.
Allowing such beauty to fall to nature is disheartening. Beautiful poetic words and photography guys! I appreciate your gentle and thoughtful exploration. Thank you.
Man that second villa must’ve been amazing in its day. But living in such financial pressures must’ve been crushing. All that splendor wouldn’t be worth it, not for me. Good job on reviving the bird, but leave the poor bat alone! Poor lonely guy. Great job. Tobi’s photos are gorgeous as always. We’ll miss the frequent posts this summer. But I’ll be looking forward to curling up next winter to all kinds of cool new content.
Your compassion towards animals warms my heart. Maybe you could reach out to a wildlife rehabilitator and see if they have any suggestions on something you could do when you find animals in need. It seems like you did everything you could for that bird, and it already seemed to be in better shape than when you found it. Cat/dog shelter worker here, I'd say if you have the space to keep an extra bowl or two around or even the ability to cut up a water bottle, that could help a cat or dog in need. Not sure what sort of food you guys keep on hand, but stuff like lunch meat (plain stuff like chicken, turkey, etc.) is typically a pretty good bet. Dogs can eat a lot more things than the carnivorous feline friends. Cats need meat. A quick test for dehydration on cats/dogs (not sure about other animals) pinch a bit of their skin and if it bounces back quick they are likely well hydrated. If it stays up for longer, they need some water. If you're really committed you could keep some syringes on hand (no needle necessary, as I'm sure that would raise some eyebrows travelling), but that can help you get some water down a critter in need. I'm a Patron, so feel free to reach shoot me a message if you have more animal questions, and I will try to help!
Agree, everything is not permanent. I just try to enjoy my life with my husband. We are both nurses and I see people lost their life in a blink of an eye.
This BEAUTIFUL MANSION STILL HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL AND EXPENSIVE ITEMS. That huge wall mirror and the furniture all appear to be antiques that can be restored if they are not rotted inside. It is such a beautiful home.
I am sorry to hear about what happened to the owners of the residence. Right now, it reminds me of something from a fairy tale. I know there is no treasure to be found but a time capsule into the past. Great photography and storytelling. I love the stories you tell of places I will never get to visit. Through you, though we are all able to visits these wonderful places. Thank You!
Beautiful as always. I know exactly where this is and can also say the roof collapsed in January of last year. It has the oldest and probably best example of a Neapolitan-style polycentric entrance hall, that was multistory to compensate for the difference in grade between the different access-points of the palazzo.
Next to blog old posts, I could never find anything. I had relatives in that city, and just happen to know of it because the thoroughfare would bring us by it going in, then out of the city. I do know that only a portion of the original seven heirs the property was split between, actually took up the diligence and accepted the terms of their inheritance of the property, and that the architecture featured (such as the polycentric arched “androne”) was heavily Neapolitan because the family that had it built came there from Naples I think in the 1730s-1740s.
Beautifully shot as always. What a surreal, incredible place to see. It was like a bubble in a different world, a small glimpse at what might happen to the world if we disappear.
We, too, noticed many debt notes scattered around the house and associated this with the financial collapse of the well-known entrepreneur's family. However, there is a further and earlier reason, an underlying reason that could explain the financial collapse. It is dark on 26 January 1977 when seven hooded men break into the villa, steal valuables and kidnap the owner, a well-known local businessman. They were the notorious Graziano Mesina gang, known as the 'anonymous Sardinian kidnappers', who carried out numerous extortionist kidnappings between the 1960s and the 1990s, mainly in Sardinia, including the famous one of Farouk Kassam. The businessman was released the following April following the payment of a ransom of 750 million lire. The huge sum, contained in two sacks, was entrusted to the kidnapped man's family's lawyers, who were in charge of mediating with the kidnappers.
Thanks for the back story. It explains it clearly. This info reinforces my opinion. That Italy is not somewhere where you should get rich, build a mansion and live there. No way. Far too dangerous. Is this why there’s so many abandoned mansions in Italy? Probably.
@@melindawakley7859 Italy is a safe country generally speaking, but there have been criminal realities dedicated to this kind of thing. One of these was the Messina gang that kidnapped rich people for ransom. Fortunately, we have a very efficient intelligence and police force that often found the victims and then dismantled that and other gangs. This is the specific reason for this abandonment, but the reality is as described by my friends Marco and Till. It is reverses of fortune or a sudden death that generate the abandonment
This is SO much better than most of the American urbex. Besides the proper people of course. Dan bell used to be so good but he fell off a cliff, and I can't stand Josh
Yeah, I kinda feel the same way. The Proper People pull off some great stuff but overall, Europe is far more beautiful and interesting. I mean, in America you gotta work hard to find something other than an abandoned waffle house.
Interesting exploration, I can't wait to know more about your upcoming projects! Thanks again for featuring as guests on my podcast, I truly hope your listeners will enjoy the episode as much as I do! Good luck on your new adventures this summer :)
Danke, das Feedback freut uns enorm! In diesen Orten bleibt halt einfach echt die Zeit stehen. Da kann man auch mal eine Auszeit (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes) nehmen vom rasanten Trubel.
oohh my heart was touched by what you did to the bird, you have shown that you love nature and whatever is around you and you care a lot.. I salute you for what you did ,, love you guys! keep it up and May God always be with you on your journey ... keep safe guys! #naturesloverfromPhils.
How cute! and the care you took with the bird. Now speaking of this wonderful mansion. Watching and imagining her when she was young, beautiful. How people leave so much behind. Congratulations on the video. You are great 👏
I've had an idea in my head for a while... what if people like BWT had a device that could scan the interiors of these places in detail and we could have a VR "game" experience where we could explore these places too. That would be an amazing idea.
My grandparents immigrated from Italy In the 1930s and my dad was first generation born in America. I would love ❤️ so much to go see Italy one day. I’m new to the channel and it’s amazing to see the beautiful homes just abandoned. I can’t imagine just walking away from such stunning properties and letting them rot to time and squatters.
@@bwturbex the first mansion was my favourite, it looks like something out of a fairytale. It has a very mysterious vibe. The other mansion hidden in the massive overgrowth was also epic, I love the big pool/dam outside it. The room with the paint and art was also very cool 😎 I have been following your channel for a long time, and your style and vibe really inspires me to evolve my urbex channel. Here in South Africa 🇿🇦 we have a lot of abandoned places. Anyway, I love your content, and I'm always looking forward to the next video. Stay safe!
Thanks guys, beautiful as always. We loved every second of your videos showing the beauty of the Italian time capsules and her decay but especially how you guys manage to capture and portray. Awesome work! Have a good one guys! Cheers and love, Nils and Urbex Louise🤙🏼
You've brought us another magnificent explore. Love the intro and all pics are beautiful. It's sad to see all the deterioration of beauty, but those empty syringes make me sad also. Someone is destroying their body and soul. Can't wait for the next video. My grandmother always said, " I've never seen a U haul behind a hearse"! Stay safe♥️😊👍
It’s so great that you guys are still making these. I loved watching your videos in the past and it made me check out abandoned places around where I live. Your guys’ channel has always been my favorite for years
Your video shots are just stunning and your very slow panning of the scenes along with proper music and lighting just make it mesmerizing to watch! Your still photos too are very impactful. Beautifully done but at the same time deeply melancholy. I appreciate your work.
I live in Canada and have always loved exploring abandoned buildings. A few years ago out in the countryside where I live I explored a very old farmhouse in the woods. From the moment I gained entry it seemed creepy. It was obvious that a very large man was the last tenant. Huge boots on the floor, big coats and jackets hanging in the vestibule and the dining table and the coffee table were covered with Past Due bills and notices from collection agencies and the government. Upstairs there was a room with a door that once had been locked but with the damp and the winters that had passed, it had warped open. I squeezed into a small room that had a table and a sewing machine and... all the walls were covered with pictures of little girls in underwear or almost naked. Probably from department store catalogues of the 1970's or holiday vacation brochures. I felt sick and left. A year later my neighbour told me that there had been a family there, third generation of farmers. Apparently one day the wife and two little daughters abruptly left and left the province, the police made several visits and after a few months, the husband, a huge man, disappeared suddenly. And the house has sat empty since then.
No! Are you serious? That's a terrifying story, my friend! Wow I wonder if the mother and two daughters left because they found out about his room, or found out that he had been molesting the daughters, or if he had killed them. Whenever someone "moves away all of a sudden without any notice" I always wonder if they're buried in the cellar or something. Did you tell the police about what you found?
@@kmdn1 This is a small community of farmers and fishermen and I'm not from here. I mentioned what I had found to my neighbour who told me that he 'knew nothing about it' but another neighbour said that the man's wife had involved the police. The police here is the RCMP - the Canadian Mounties - and they are generally utterly incompetent and extremely lazy. So telling them about what I found would have been pointless. I suspect that the woman left him because he had done something to the daughters. Other neighbours said he moved away because he was bankrupt. Doesn't seem plausible. I remember when I lived in Mexico City a colleague from a town in Veracruz told me that back in the 70's the local priest was molesting boys and one day he... disappeared. When my friend's father was dying of cancer some years back he told him that the men in the town had gone to the church, taken the priest out into the Gulf on a fishing boat, tied an old outboard engine around his legs and had thrown him overboard.
Wow, such an amazing(ly) creepy story!!! I love the concept of exploring, but I think if I had found that one (then the ensuing story) I would not sleep at night!
I'm touched by everything that is left behind ,I live in A1 bed flat with my son ,overcrowded he sleeps on the floor,it just bteaks my heart that I have NOTHINK not even carpets, and all the beautifull stuff left behind I WOUID love to live in 1 of the homes, so beautifull and LOVELEY furniture, o just dream that q day I get a nice home, god bless you all 🙏❤️
Very good presentation and photography. Many urban exploration sites neglect to give a 'time of the last occupancy, and I was guessing the 1980s. To see that book copywritten in 2003 surprised me! How quickly nature takes over.
So drawn in this type of contents. How thrilling and interesting to see and explore an ancient places like this. To discover the remnants and the stories in the past, such an astoninshing experience. I envy them doing this. Been very curious how people in the past lives their lives. Somehow this glimpse enables one to imagine how it was like. Hope to see and experience an actual one tho. Got addicted watching this channel. Thank you.
Excellent photography. The entrance to the first villa is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. Now draped with green vegetation it is even more beautiful. Bravissimi BWT.
Thanks so much! We had this first villa on our list for so long and had to drive a long way to get there. It was totally worth it since it was especially beautiful to look at and explore!
You guys had me worried ! Nothing in months. Now I understand. You guys do the most intelligent urbex vids on the web in my opinion. Have a good time guys. Can't wait for news stuff ... P.
@@bwturbex Thanks for the answer Marco . Yes you guys and The Proper People are my favorite urbex sites cause you both research the backgrounds of the sites you investigate. And the photography is amazing. If I was younger I would love to do that stuff. I've turned friends on to your sites and everyone agrees that they're well thought out sites. I started with "Exploring with Josh" years ago. Back when he was pretty through but since his Nara Dreamland mission he's just gotten silly. Anyway thanks again and I can't wait for the new posts ... Paul 👊😎👍
You asked what kind of tips we could give to animals that are in dire situations. What you gave the Martin bird is what to should give to all animals (and humans) that are in dire situations which is, love and caring, positive words. You have absolutely no idea how that affects things. Even water, plants and anything that has energy. Afterall, EVERYTHING is made from energy and love is what feeds it.
É chocante como as pessoas podem ir do luxo total à falência ou a morte. Desnecessário dizer como a vida é efêmera por mais dinheiro q se tenha. TD acaba em nada.
Thank you for such a great video on Europe. These properties are all over in US and other countries. It is very sad to see what happened but it tells the story of life and how unpredictable it can be. Thanks again for your efforts to reveal these beautiful mansions.
Every time I am amazed at how your skills just keep improving. This was a true gem of great quality, and a pleasure to watch. The first palazzo was architecturally sublime, made more so by the work of Nature’s hand…festooning it with trailing vines. All this juxtaposed with the paraphernalia of drug taking and modern problems. The little bird was beautiful, and I love that you cared for it and gave it comfort. If you carry a tube of glucose gel with you, it can help an animal fight shock by giving them a little bit. The Villa was once magnificent. One can almost hear the echoes of parties and laughter of former times. All that is left now are scattered remnants of the lives it sheltered. In the end…Mother Nature reaches out and takes it all back to Herself. Beautiful, thank you again.🖤🇨🇦
wow, eure Videos sind total anders als die der anderen lost places RUclipsr. Wohltuend anders! Respektvoll, einfühlsam, mit dem Auge für Perspektiven und Motive, absolut passende Musik und wirklich tolle Texte! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Como já disseram: lindamente triste 😥 Como compreender uma casa desse nível abandonada? Simplesmente lamentável...😟 Fico pensando que, tantas casas, mansões e outros patrimônios abandonados, como é triste, pq assim como milhares de casas abandonadas, também são milhares de pessoas morando pelas ruas... Triste demais 😥 Vim pelo canal do Beto Locão e amei conhecer o seu canal, o seu trabalho 👏 Vou maratonar o seu canal e, tenho certeza de que vou gostar muito 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
Sem dinheiro para pagar os impostos e muito menos manter. Quem vai pagar? O dinheiro do povo ? Claro que não. Só no Brasil usam dinheiro da saúde ou educação pra fazer reformas em prédios antigos.
What an exquisite space... the beauty of nature encroaching on a place where time seems to flow differently. I'd love to sit there with my sketchbook; so dreamy. Thank you
Very beautiful home , it’s sad to see the beautiful place got abandon, the second property look like the owner left everything behind, seem like they left in a rush, possibly something to do with tax and depth. Thank you for sharing , it’s a beautiful mansion and interesting design indeed.
It's so sad to see a beautfiul home abandoned. Why did the bank not sell it? Maybe they are just waiting for a big developer to come along and then make a fortune on the land. Fascinating but sad - so true what you say: You cannot take it with you. Thank you for looking after the little bird too.
So true… material items are only material. You can’t take them with you. That’s why we should be grateful for what we currently have and live minimally with only the things we need because it can be taken away or you will die and can’t take it with you.
Like an archaeological dig going back to what this mansion once was..curiosity brings you to what may have been the demise of those one lived here..thankyou for these amazing videos...
If you find injured animals..there are organisations that take care of their recovery..usually in larger towns and cities..humane intervention can mean the survival of the birds or animals...🦙
Thanks for the link to your extended podcast beginning at age 17. Relaxed and interesting in BWT’s origin, development, and your personal philosophies.
I feel very sad to see this I think it's a lesson for us when we know we don't have any body behind us to inherit this house I think it's best to give for orphanage or some charity. Something good so the people will remember us in their prayers FROM INDIA
I liked the timing of the episode with the calendar, planned or coincidence. Everyone should check out the limited edition prints too. They are all really good.
Thanks! Actually, the video is a bit late, lol, at least a few days. This was the image for April, now we have May with another shot presented in the calendar.
Do you have a release date for your environmental documentary set? I worked oil rigs and love industry and giant machines but also grow gardens and love animals... There has to be some balance, Garzweiler looks excessive and for profit only.
Amazing homes just left to rot, and the architect back then was beautiful,they knew how to build homes, now a days they just throw them together, and fall apart in no time, love the doors and frames so stunning.
A promissory note in real estate is usually an obligation of the buyer to pay the bank, and originates from a loan by the bank to the buyer of a property, e.g. a mortgage loan. I deleted my previous comment that if issued by the bank, it is an obligation of the bank. Real estate gets pretty funky in my limited understanding of it.
I think that bird was a Nightjar, regard the feathers covering alot of the upper beak, a rare find even if just sighted. Thank you for caring about small creatures on your travels! Joan in Canada
El pájaro creo que es un vencejo, yo crie uno, vive en el aire una vez que pisa el suelo hay que ayudarlo a volar el sólo no puede y come insectos, vuestras exploraciones como siempre increíbles,muchos bsos.
Muchas gracias por esta video tan genial Pienso que la casa no pertenece al banco por que el banco la hubiera sacado a subasta bendiendola a mi me gustó mucho esa mansión, la hubiera comprado y restaurarado tal cual es ,la piscina es Bonita y el jardín es increíble

Once again a video in a class of its own! The narration, the research in combination with videography and background music as always very good!
This BEAUTIFUL MANSION STILL HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL AND EXPENSIVE ITEMS. That huge wall mirror and the furniture all appear to be antiques that can be restored if they are not rotted inside. It is such a beautiful home.
I am quite genuinely surprised nobody has nabbed them yet.
It's interesting to see items which seems from different decades lying in the same place, like they were contemporary.
I am sorry to hear about what happened to the owners of the residence. Right now, it reminds me of something from a fairy tale.

truly great storytellers. his voice is so captivating
This is how you spend your money when you get rich. You only get is your luxurious home turned into a haunted abandoned theme park.

Awesome speech at the end, you gentleman are the best in the urbex world. Thank you for showcasing beautiful places I would otherwise never see!
How cute! and the care you took with the bird. Now speaking of this wonderful mansion. Watching and imagining her when she was young, beautiful. How people leave so much behind. Congratulations on the video. You are great 👏
I've had an idea in my head for a while... what if people like BWT had a device that could scan the interiors of these places in detail and we could have a VR "game" experience where we could explore these places too. That would be an amazing idea.
Hey Josh, we had the same idea years ago! I think with today's tech that would be possible. Pretty exciting, haha. We'll look into it.
On it!! 😅
I always hold my breath when you all venture out onto a balcony. It seems like it could just crumble out from under you. 😱
You are good men to have compassion for animals. Thank you for your kindness. People like you make this world a better place.
I've been waiting so long to watch your new video.This is also amazing video too.
Watching From BURMA.
My grandparents immigrated from Italy In the 1930s and my dad was first generation born in America. I would love ❤️ so much to go see Italy one day. I’m new to the channel and it’s amazing to see the beautiful homes just abandoned. I can’t imagine just walking away from such stunning properties and letting them rot to time and squatters.
Wow, absolutely beautiful photography of some amazing locations. Super cool exploration!!! 😎
Thanks for watching! Which one of the two mansions did you like more?
@@bwturbex the first mansion was my favourite, it looks like something out of a fairytale. It has a very mysterious vibe.
The other mansion hidden in the massive overgrowth was also epic, I love the big pool/dam outside it.
The room with the paint and art was also very cool 😎
I have been following your channel for a long time, and your style and vibe really inspires me to evolve my urbex channel. Here in South Africa 🇿🇦 we have a lot of abandoned places.
Anyway, I love your content, and I'm always looking forward to the next video. Stay safe!
Hhh
Awesome exploring guys, I don't know how I missed your videos . Thanks
Thanks guys, beautiful as always. We loved every second of your videos showing the beauty of the Italian time capsules and her decay but especially how you guys manage to capture and portray. Awesome work! Have a good one guys! Cheers and love, Nils and Urbex Louise🤙🏼
This is amazing, thank you for posting
You've brought us another magnificent explore. Love the intro and all pics are beautiful. It's sad to see all the deterioration of beauty, but those empty syringes make me sad also. Someone is destroying their body and soul. Can't wait for the next video. My grandmother always said, " I've never seen a U haul behind a hearse"! Stay safe♥️😊👍
Hi how are you doing?
Same here. Hi Glinda how are you doing with your family I hope you’re safe from the virus?
It’s so great that you guys are still making these. I loved watching your videos in the past and it made me check out abandoned places around where I live. Your guys’ channel has always been my favorite for years
I'm looking forward to your new adventures! Be safe out there guys. This video was amazing as always. GB from Nevada USA.
Your video shots are just stunning and your very slow panning of the scenes along with proper music and lighting just make it mesmerizing to watch! Your still photos too are very impactful. Beautifully done but at the same time deeply melancholy. I appreciate your work.
Thanks so much for the great feedback, Julie! We will have another video online in just a few hours.
Same here he’s videos look great.hi Julie how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
I live in Canada and have always loved exploring abandoned buildings. A few years ago out in the countryside where I live I explored a very old farmhouse in the woods. From the moment I gained entry it seemed creepy. It was obvious that a very large man was the last tenant. Huge boots on the floor, big coats and jackets hanging in the vestibule and the dining table and the coffee table were covered with Past Due bills and notices from collection agencies and the government. Upstairs there was a room with a door that once had been locked but with the damp and the winters that had passed, it had warped open. I squeezed into a small room that had a table and a sewing machine and... all the walls were covered with pictures of little girls in underwear or almost naked. Probably from department store catalogues of the 1970's or holiday vacation brochures. I felt sick and left. A year later my neighbour told me that there had been a family there, third generation of farmers. Apparently one day the wife and two little daughters abruptly left and left the province, the police made several visits and after a few months, the husband, a huge man, disappeared suddenly. And the house has sat empty since then.
No! Are you serious? That's a terrifying story, my friend! Wow I wonder if the mother and two daughters left because they found out about his room, or found out that he had been molesting the daughters, or if he had killed them. Whenever someone "moves away all of a sudden without any notice" I always wonder if they're buried in the cellar or something. Did you tell the police about what you found?
@@kmdn1 This is a small community of farmers and fishermen and I'm not from here. I mentioned what I had found to my neighbour who told me that he 'knew nothing about it' but another neighbour said that the man's wife had involved the police. The police here is the RCMP - the Canadian Mounties - and they are generally utterly incompetent and extremely lazy. So telling them about what I found would have been pointless. I suspect that the woman left him because he had done something to the daughters. Other neighbours said he moved away because he was bankrupt. Doesn't seem plausible. I remember when I lived in Mexico City a colleague from a town in Veracruz told me that back in the 70's the local priest was molesting boys and one day he... disappeared. When my friend's father was dying of cancer some years back he told him that the men in the town had gone to the church, taken the priest out into the Gulf on a fishing boat, tied an old outboard engine around his legs and had thrown him overboard.
Wow, such an amazing(ly) creepy story!!! I love the concept of exploring, but I think if I had found that one (then the ensuing story) I would not sleep at night!
@@sashasue00 lol me too it took my imagination out.....
This is one of the best abandon house tours I’ve seen… And I’ve been watching them for a while, good job guys.
Amazing absolutely stunning the buildings it's a pity they left everything behind with not taking care of it so sad
Beautiful, thank you for the reminder we can't take anything with us when we go. Love from Albuquerque.
Such beautiful & historical sites. The guided tours are so well done. Thank you all for taking us along! Stay curious!
It’s such an amazing historical sites. Hi miss how are you doing with your family I hope you’re safe from the virus?
I'm touched by everything that is left behind ,I live in A1 bed flat with my son ,overcrowded he sleeps on the floor,it just bteaks my heart that I have NOTHINK not even carpets, and all the beautifull stuff left behind I WOUID love to live in 1 of the homes, so beautifull and LOVELEY furniture, o just dream that q day I get a nice home, god bless you all 🙏❤️
@@marinaholland355 you’re welcome, would you mind we talk on somewhere preferable so we can get to know each other’s as friends?
I like you guys what you are doing even helping helpless animals along the way ☺️🙏
Olá equipe amada!!! Parabéns por terem cuidado do passarinho ferido …
Gostaria que fossem traduzidas …
SP-Brasil …👏🏻👏🏻
2nd villa was quite Enchanting
Great explore guys. Tastefully done.
Omg those tri-colored wood floors are absolutely gorgeous
I always love your videos!! Always so beautifully filmed.
Very good presentation and photography. Many urban exploration sites neglect to give a 'time of the last occupancy, and I was guessing the 1980s. To see that book copywritten in 2003 surprised me! How quickly nature takes over.
So drawn in this type of contents. How thrilling and interesting to see and explore an ancient places like this. To discover the remnants and the stories in the past, such an astoninshing experience. I envy them doing this. Been very curious how people in the past lives their lives. Somehow this glimpse enables one to imagine how it was like. Hope to see and experience an actual one tho. Got addicted watching this channel. Thank you.
Excellent photography. The entrance to the first villa is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. Now draped with green vegetation it is even more beautiful. Bravissimi BWT.
Thanks so much! We had this first villa on our list for so long and had to drive a long way to get there. It was totally worth it since it was especially beautiful to look at and explore!
That's so sad. This is why there shouldn't be taxes. Why should a family lose everything. They should have been able to keep that up for generations
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
In Italy we have so so many abandoned houses and other buildings. My country its the great for explorers.
Retina pics, great content guys!
Cheers! Enjoy your summer, Gary.
You guys had me worried ! Nothing in months. Now I understand. You guys do the most intelligent urbex vids on the web in my opinion. Have a good time guys. Can't wait for news stuff ... P.
Thanks a lot! Till is in France at the moment while I (Marco) am at sea for a lot more weeks. Later this year, we meet up again and edit new videos!
@@bwturbex Thanks for the answer Marco . Yes you guys and The Proper People are my favorite urbex sites cause you both research the backgrounds of the sites you investigate. And the photography is amazing. If I was younger I would love to do that stuff. I've turned friends on to your sites and everyone agrees that they're well thought out sites. I started with "Exploring with Josh" years ago. Back when he was pretty through but since his Nara Dreamland mission he's just gotten silly. Anyway thanks again and I can't wait for the new posts ... Paul 👊😎👍
You asked what kind of tips we could give to animals that are in dire situations. What you gave the Martin bird is what to should give to all animals (and humans) that are in dire situations which is, love and caring, positive words. You have absolutely no idea how that affects things. Even water, plants and anything that has energy. Afterall, EVERYTHING is made from energy and love is what feeds it.
You guys are doing an amazing job. I have been watching you guys last couple of months. Thank you for everything.
Lovely feedback, thanks a lot! Stay tuned because we have cool plans for the future!
You probably did the best you could for the bird. You're a real "mensch."
It looked pretty big but maybe it was still a youngling, only a few days from being independent.
What a shame that these places are allowed to deteriorate beyond repair.
É chocante como as pessoas podem ir do luxo total à falência ou a morte. Desnecessário dizer como a vida é efêmera por mais dinheiro q se tenha. TD acaba em nada.
Así es por eso hay q saber vivir nada nos llevamos .
Thank you for such a great video on Europe. These properties are all over in US and other countries. It is very sad to see what happened but it tells the story of life and how unpredictable it can be. Thanks again for your efforts to reveal these beautiful mansions.
Every time I am amazed at how your skills just keep improving. This was a true gem of great quality, and a pleasure to watch.
The first palazzo was architecturally sublime, made more so by the work of Nature’s hand…festooning it with trailing vines. All this juxtaposed with the paraphernalia of drug taking and modern problems.
The little bird was beautiful, and I love that you cared for it and gave it comfort. If you carry a tube of glucose gel with you, it can help an animal fight shock by giving them a little bit.
The Villa was once magnificent. One can almost hear the echoes of parties and laughter of former times. All that is left now are scattered remnants of the lives it sheltered. In the end…Mother Nature reaches out and takes it all back to Herself. Beautiful, thank you again.🖤🇨🇦
LOVE that you helped the bird 🐦 ❤ And are asking how to be better prepared to help animals while exploring!!!
Beautiful video guy's:)
This touched my heart what beautiful architecture hit close to home to one of my uncles
Keep posting them I love your channel
Adoro ver estas casas abandonadas muitas histórias guardadas
wow, eure Videos sind total anders als die der anderen lost places RUclipsr. Wohltuend anders! Respektvoll, einfühlsam, mit dem Auge für Perspektiven und Motive, absolut passende Musik und wirklich tolle Texte! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Como já disseram: lindamente triste 😥 Como compreender uma casa desse nível abandonada? Simplesmente lamentável...😟
Fico pensando que, tantas casas, mansões e outros patrimônios abandonados, como é triste, pq assim como milhares de casas abandonadas, também são milhares de pessoas morando pelas ruas...
Triste demais 😥 Vim pelo canal do Beto Locão e amei conhecer o seu canal, o seu trabalho 👏 Vou maratonar o seu canal e, tenho certeza de que vou gostar muito 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
Sem dinheiro para pagar os impostos e muito menos manter. Quem vai pagar? O dinheiro do povo ? Claro que não. Só no Brasil usam dinheiro da saúde ou educação pra fazer reformas em prédios antigos.
Beautifully done! Your commentary is very thoughtful and touching as it is true, that all things are fleeting,
Life is unpredictable.
Word.
What an exquisite space... the beauty of nature encroaching on a place where time seems to flow differently. I'd love to sit there with my sketchbook; so dreamy. Thank you
Legendas em português Brasil por favor ❤️
Still working on the subtitles! They will be online very soon, thanks for your patience!
@@bwturbex obrigada pela atenção! O trabalho de Vocês é espetacular. Parabéns!
Ssssiiiiimmmm
Triste de ver o abandono meus Deus porque não venderam para que o tempo não destruísse essa belíssima casa 18 abril 2022 Rio grande do Sul
Sou do Rio de Janeiro Brasil neta de italianos de Nápoles. Deus abençoe 🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏💖🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Still plenty of treasures inside. Great explore and beautiful photographs. 👍👍👍
die stimme ist so super, diese sentimentalität, die ständig präsent ist. ganz toll gemachte videos
I am particularly drawn to the shots of details of art in furniture, doors, architecture, tiles, etc. Well done.
Very beautiful home , it’s sad to see the beautiful place got abandon, the second property look like the owner left everything behind, seem like they left in a rush, possibly something to do with tax and depth. Thank you for sharing , it’s a beautiful mansion and interesting design indeed.
It's so sad to see a beautfiul home abandoned. Why did the bank not sell it? Maybe they are just waiting for a big developer to come along and then make a fortune on the land. Fascinating but sad - so true what you say: You cannot take it with you. Thank you for looking after the little bird too.
So true… material items are only material. You can’t take them with you. That’s why we should be grateful for what we currently have and live minimally with only the things we need because it can be taken away or you will die and can’t take it with you.
I just wanna know what happened to the family… These mysteries are intriguing …a family in Canada that just disappeared abandoned their mansion… Crazy
Like an archaeological dig going back to what this mansion once was..curiosity brings you to what may have been the demise of those one lived here..thankyou for these amazing videos...
If you find injured animals..there are organisations that take care of their recovery..usually in larger towns and cities..humane intervention can mean the survival of the birds or animals...🦙
Thanks for the link to your extended podcast beginning at age 17. Relaxed and interesting in BWT’s origin, development, and your personal philosophies.
Got to add this too.In my eyes you are the elite of urban exploration.♥️🇨🇦
Same here his sites are amazing. Hi Patricia how are you doing with your family I hope you’re safe from the virus?
I love how you help the animals!
Absolutely fascinating and superbly produced. Thank you.
I feel very sad to see this I think it's a lesson for us when we know we don't have any body behind us to inherit this house I think it's best to give for orphanage or some charity. Something good so the people will remember us in their prayers FROM INDIA
I liked the timing of the episode with the calendar, planned or coincidence. Everyone should check out the limited edition prints too. They are all really good.
Thanks! Actually, the video is a bit late, lol, at least a few days. This was the image for April, now we have May with another shot presented in the calendar.
Do you have a release date for your environmental documentary set? I worked oil rigs and love industry and giant machines but also grow gardens and love animals... There has to be some balance, Garzweiler looks excessive and for profit only.
No release date yet, sorry. Next to working on the regular videos, we barely have time for this. 😅
So beautifully done ! More
Please !
Amazing homes just left to rot, and the architect back then was beautiful,they knew how to build homes, now a days they just throw them together, and fall apart in no time, love the doors and frames so stunning.
Thank you for rescuing vunerable animals. You are very kind and real men!
A promissory note in real estate is usually an obligation of the buyer to pay the bank, and originates from a loan by the bank to the buyer of a property, e.g. a mortgage loan. I deleted my previous comment that if issued by the bank, it is an obligation of the bank. Real estate gets pretty funky in my limited understanding of it.
I think that bird was a Nightjar, regard the feathers covering alot of the upper beak, a rare find even if just sighted. Thank you for caring about small creatures on your travels!
Joan in Canada
This is probably my favorite video of yours. Thanks for sharing this!
El pájaro creo que es un vencejo, yo crie uno, vive en el aire una vez que pisa el suelo hay que ayudarlo a volar el sólo no puede y come insectos, vuestras exploraciones como siempre increíbles,muchos bsos.
I LOVE THESE TYPE OF ROMAN HOMES
Zajímavé video.👍🇨🇿 Škoda že ty prostory neslouží životu, jen umírají...
i love the architectural and all interiors of the abandoned villas
Muchas gracias por esta video tan genial
Pienso que la casa no pertenece al banco por que el banco la hubiera sacado a subasta bendiendola a mi me gustó mucho esa mansión, la hubiera comprado y restaurarado tal cual es ,la piscina es Bonita y el jardín es increíble
