Gunkanjima: Ruins of a Forbidden Island

Been meaning to post this for ages, so I thought I'd better get it done so I can finally close the damn tab...

Gunkanjima is Japanese for Battleship Island, and is the name they have given Hashima Island. It was once a small mining city. Very quickly, the coal mines were shut and everyone was booted from the island. It's now illegal to visit there, though obviously, some people sneak in.

The link is for photo's taken by an urban explorer, and he's taken some awesome snaps. Just a sample-

wow, that's insane! Thanks for sharing the link.

Here's another urban explorer link to kill time with. A few of the nuclear type places remind me of Fallout 3.

Things Like this area awesome, I've seen a few other places like this, the story behind them can be quite interesting.

Interesting the history of places and ruins of them.

I also like seeing Chernobyl pictures and stuff like that I find it fascinating to think of the history and how it all happened and picture what it would be like to be there.

I initially thought this was a thread about something you can smoke.

This is a good one i found a couple weeks ago that I ran across again thismorn.

A massive, indoor water park was planned for the children of Russia, one towering many stories high with a myriad of rides within. Yet before this park could be completed, the developer went belly up and couldn’t afford its completion. The structure was to house many pools, water slides and other water-based fun, and appeared to be just months away from completion. The now abandoned water park houses only concrete, metal, graffiti and the curiosity of freelance “urban archaeologists”.

Those last pics are amazing Necris. I love how there's a half-life emblemy thing on some of the concrete. Funny how dilapidated structures are so beautiful to look at.
