Demolition of HFB and it’s surrounding buildings has officially begun. Before it gets blown into oblivion, I decided to visit and climb it one last time. I just got my wide angle Tokina lens and wanted to take some last pictures of HFB for my personal archive. If you would like to know more about HFB, and it’s history, you can check this post.
