Abandoned Places

I've got some stuff, nothing really of blindingly awesome... there just aren't all that many abandoned buildings here. It was all farms until the housing boom! and farmers tend to shoot at you when your on their land. <,,<

Way out in the middle of a giant salt plane there is a monument called the tree of utah. Oh the memories, my first shoot with my d70 ^,,^

There is a fence around that thing now. It's a big pilar of concrete standing in a giant salt pan that gets flooded in the winter. Take a guess how well it's holding up.

Salt lake they've got some pretty run down places, but it's a little hard to get myself and a partner up there.

This fast food place was built for the 2002 winter games. I doubt it was occupied a year after.

I've been to the place since they supposedly put up no trespassing signs to play airsoft.... Damn I love that place.

Ok, I'm done showing off. :silly:

Hashima Island (端島; meaning "Border Island"), commonly called Gunkanjima (軍艦島; meaning "Battleship Island") is one among 505 uninhabited islands in the Nagasaki Prefecture about 15 kilometers from Nagasaki itself. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. The island's most notable features are the abandoned concrete buildings and the sea wall surrounding it.

"Battleship Island" is an English translation of the Japanese nickname for Hashima Island, "Gunkan-jima". The island's nickname came from its apparent resemblance to a battleship, or "gunkan" ("jima" means "island") due to its high sea-walls. It also is known as the Ghost Island. It is known for its coal mines and their operation during the industrialization of Japan. Mitsubishi bought the island in 1890 and began the project, the aim of which was retrieving coal from the bottom of the sea. They built Japan's first large concrete building, a block of apartments in 1916 to accommodate their burgeoning ranks of workers, and to protect against typhoon destruction.

In 1959, its population density was 835 people per hectare for the whole island, or 1,391 per hectare for the residential district, one of the highest population density ever recorded worldwide. As petroleum replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began shutting down all over the country, and Hashima's mines were no exception. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and today it is empty and bare, which is why it's called the Ghost Island. Travel to Hashima is currently prohibited.

Hisaharu Motoda who (presumably after his time spent photographing abandoned island-city Gunkajima) has rendered a series of photographs of Tokyo as a post-apocalyptic cityscape. I find them very beautiful.
