Wow - Amazing places.
 
This is well worth a look, I am fascinated by abandoned things and this is amazing, great photos. Has anyone seen any of these?

Indeed Wow. Not seen any but number 8 looks very familiar..... :p for a moment there I thought it was my from my neck of the woods but alas Kerry. I think the quality of the photographer has a lot to do with the images though all subject matters are equally impressive..k

Good find. Photo no.9, Pripyat is probably the most disturbing , ferris wheel and all, as it was the main township for Chernobyl.

This might appeal to you...abandoned mental hospitals...

Hmm! Looks like hours can be whiled away there. I rarely sleep very well, so that looks like a great site for me!:thumbup:

Search for places where you live. You will be amazed how many places are explored. Also look for the old mail underground explore on there. It will keep you busy for hours.

The first one, Denbigh in N Wales is close to where I grew up. When I was young it was always a threat that we would get sent to 'the denbigh nut house'!:rofl:

Have a look at this link

It's the video for a song by a Manchester group called Delphic, it's set in and around the Chernobyl area and has loads of footage of different abandoned areas, great video and pretty cool song too
