There are a number of old abandoned mining towns here in Montana, but I think they have all become tourist attractions!

Nicely said and thanks for sharing. Some of these really hold the kind of atmosphere I appreciate so much. I actually have been at a site similar to the last picture; an old railway area from ww2.

Believe it or not, but I actually lived for nearly 2 years in something like this:

Relevant.

Yes, yes indeed. Thanks for the material and reviving my ambition pop.
An interesting development, strangely disturbing and definitely worth looking into, in my opinion.

Some collected stuff considered interesting by me:

former military base Chuchkovo

found on russian site http://www.liveinternet.ru/community/2216771/rubric/773666/

japanese ghost town Gunkanjima


random collection

found on german site http://gallery.dralzheimer.stylesyndication.de/wallpaper/categories/Urban%20Exploring

Some other interesting pictures are of the Six Flags New Orleans, an amusement park which was abandoned after Hurricane Katrina.

There are some interesting photos here - http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/05/cr ... s-75-pics/

and many more photos and videos are around like this one

i would like to spend a day or more on one. but i don tknow where one would be here thats within driving range from LA.

Amazing little piece of film about the story of Salton Sea.

Oh hell yeah, I LOVE abandoned buildings and to explore them. =D
But here in Germany there aren't so many of that afaik. But in my city of origin is an old factory abandoned 20 or more years ago, where they developed safes. The huge and heavy ones. There are still left some of them in that building. But theres another stuff, people dumped there. Books, broken computers, clothes and so on... The city want's to prevent people entering the factory, but they can't. No one cares about that homeless people sleep in there or that some curious persons like me explores it. There's nothing valueable left in there anyway. But I wasn't in the basement because I didn't had a flashlight.
But it's still fun to walk there around, reagardless if there's just a bunch of junk left in there. I usually spend three or more hours to explore the factory.

Well, I would love it to explore the area around Chernobyl with a geiger counter, night vision goggles and a backback to take some nice souvenirs with me.
But the city and area is guarded and if they caught you, they'll probably sentence you to prison for that. And I doubt ukrainian prisons are a good place being imprisoned. So, it's not worth it.

I just found this today which is an interesting read.

Can you imagine an army of these?

Somehow I'm curious to find out what will happen to Tomioka from now on.. Thanks for the link pop.

I went exploring an old flour mill this weekend. Fairly small and not a whole lot to see but was still interesting seeing it since there isn't a whole lot of abandoned buildings like it in the area. I kinda want to go back with some spray paint to add to the graffiti.

That looks really great, Hatake - it has even this eerie feeling during daytime.

used to live there (Wattupa Heights), till it was evacuated (the whole neighborhood looks like this, except now the grass is all crazy; these pictures are from like 2 years ago)











theres so many abandoned mills in New England (well it is the inspiration for silent hill)

even more nowadays with the textile industry moving predominantly to east asia; should take some pictures of some of the insides myselves,,just be wary of needles

this kinda reminds of a long abandoned (since the 1800s) ice house off of the North Watuppa Pond (Fall River MA); theres a road to actually get back there, although i havnt been in that area for a few years

heres a rather ambiguous image

and heres a link to some amazing photos of it http://wiki.worldflicks.org/old_fall_ri ... house.html

and this is the old road to get there (its goes to a large reservation; keep in mind this is all less than a mile from densely populated neighborhoods of 10,000+ people per square mile)

while im at it il try to find some images of a long abandoned amusement park thats also within a few miles of here; this is Lincoln Park in nearby Dartmouth Massachusetts, just search it if you want more



















really if your intristed in ghost towns/abandoned amusement parks, just do yourself a favor and search this (Lincoln Park, Dartmouth MA), theres so many more images

Yeah, old rundown houses are always interesting. This mansion from the mid-1800s was on a huge secluded property across the street from where I used to lived:





I went up to that house when I was about 12 but never went back again.

Oh i remember that one, here's a documentary i saw:



Awesome thread btw.

I'd really like to find an actual ghost town. I only know of several abandoned buildings, but they're all in urban areas so it's not as exciting. I live close to this place though, people call it the "match factory", apparently that's what it used to be

Wow guys these photos and videos are all amazing. I really want to get out and explore again.

I thought I would dig threw my photo collection to find some photos of an abandoned hospital village / asylum that me and some friends regularly explore.










This one is of an abandoned restaurant in the center of Glasgow:



We managed to gain entrance threw one of the air ducts

So many cool places you guys have posted! thanks for sharing these exciting pics and vids!
I'm still no closer to having tried myself... still want to...

Wow, (is it Poland?) looks like the most awesome place to explore. Such amazing looking places there

I'm interested in visiting Detroit, MI and other larger cities with substantial ghost sections.
