The abandoned places are amazing, but yes, there are some creepy/disturbing ones. Fascinating, really. Thanks.

Super fascinating, hm? Sorry if the disturbing element was too much--the abandoned asylum gave me bad dreams last night. But I liked the array of abandoned places--it's like a list of idea and projects the world's given up on, often after too high a human cost. M.

Ooooooh, I love photos of abandoned places. There's a lot on that list I hadn't seen before, too.

It makes you think, doesn't it? M.
