Wow! Nice shots! Those were incredible!

 

[StanScratch]

Those pictures are great. Some are rather breathtaking, many are rather depressing (some pretty squalid conditions in some).
The angle of most reminded me of the in-game shots of SimCity 4, but with curved roads. Very nice.

Denver Colorado's pic reminds me of that movie Poltergeist or at least the neighborhood they lived in.

Little known facts about: Hashima Island, Japan.
1. Used to house over 5000 individuals (Coal Mining Mitsubishi [I think])
2. Was torpedoed by US submarines in WW:II due to the shape looking like a battleship. Hence the nickname, Battleship Island.

Spectacular Photos.. For all the UGLY we see all the time, its quite refreshing to see some beautiful places do exist amongst us, too bad the majority of us will never be able too personally see such beauty in our entire lives. :dunno:

P.s. Thanks for taking the time and posting this great thread Grasshopper. :bowdown:

I'm not sure whether to be awestruck or appalled by the view of the coal mine.

I did think the dune in Australia looked like a gigantic footprint like if Godzilla stepped there. :1orglaugh
