Ghost Towns / Abandoned places

[The Paulinator]

Anyone have links to Pictures of abandoned places?

I like scenes where nature takes back what is hers from man.

Here's a few examples:

Shunya Net Lost Cities

Opuszczone (Abandoned Places, Poland)

Pripyat, Ukraine

Dispatches from Chernobyl

I've also always wanted to go tour Eastern State Pen. Not really abandoned, since it's open to the public. I don't have any pics, but I'm sure they'd be easy to find if you searched.

Cool thread, man.

I love ghost towns, especially the photography. I find Chernobyl fascinating, and I would like to go there some day.

Pictures of Chernobyl always remind me of Silent Hill.

Battleship Island!!!

I just saw a photojournal about that recently....Awesome!

Here's the first I remember seeing of Pripyat:

Kidd of Speed

Though the pretext of her visit there was untrue, it still bore some good photos

You might be interested in the town Silent Hill was apparently based on...

Did you all see that show on the History Channel, Life After Humans or something like that? Interesting show, though for some reason I just can't help feeling like it's an environmentalist's Wet Dream.

Waverly hills in Louisville, an old abandoned tuburculosis hospital, also said to be one of the most haunted places in the world.

Great thread. I've always been interested by ghost towns. They're like a time capsule to another time.
