Through 3 floors

Is it worth the risk? I have been shooting a continuing Urbex project for years now and with that there are certain inherent risks.. Safety....Trespassing and possible death.. I for the most part do not push the boundaries.. I would rather not get arrested or put myself in great harm... I had heard about these 3 windows and knew a person that knew where they were.. It would be a journey to hike in unseen and then another to get to them.. I don't know why but I need to do it.. I felt the photo even before getting there.. well once outside the final build I would have to enter, I saw this was high risk and dangerous.. The first obstacle was scaling 4 flights of an exterior metal staircase where only a couple stairs remained.. I would have to hold on to the metal gated side and pull myself up and down.. the next was to enter a window and walk across a floor that looked sketchy at best.. it was wet.. moss overgrown and warped... finally through a window that led to a room where the windows lied.. that would be fine but the floor in the room above and bellow had collapsed and only a small border around the side of the room remained.. would it hold? I took a chance.. i had to... this is the final image from that explore.. what do you think... was it worth it???? HRSH_2017_September 24, 201789-324-Edit-2.jpg
