These charming abandoned towns and localities provide u
with a unique opportunity to see how it might be- a world
without people.
Ghost towns captured by vegetation, abandoned building
and deserted streets. You won’t see people here. It’s a
unique opportunity to see what this world would be like if we
were not in it, if we were suddenly gone. Under all this dust
the rust and cracks are hidden stories of people who onc
lived here, those who prayed and those who did their dail
chores.
Just try to imagine these people and their lives. Do you feel
the emotional magic in the air and the painful nostalgia here?
You get the impression that people recently gathered thei
belongings and walked away. On the other hand, it is
interesting to see how some things that once belonged to
the people have now returned to nature.


Sounds thrilling doesn’t it?!



1. The chemistry lab at the University [Belgium]


75 years ago the Val Benoit University in Belgium was
thriving. But now the lecture halls are empty. The only
sound you can hear is a ringing silence. Your memory
conjures the smell of fresh chalk. Notes from the very last
classes still remain on the desks. It’s eerie with the
experience sending shivers spinning down your back.

2. Vintage Electric Streetcar Company depot [Pennsylvania, USA]

Street cars just waste away at the Vintage Electric Streetcar
Company which was founded in 1986 to do restoration o
these people-movers from the last century. Now this place
looks more like a graveyard – a graveyard of rusty metal
and riders who are no more. It feels like these cars watch
over every step you take. So don’t forget to be calm and
don’t disturb their precious peace.

But u said 15. Na

3. The Kindergarten [Pripyat, Ukraine]


This spot is truly the most dramatic of all of the Ukrainian
cities that was affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Forty hours after the explosion that ripped through the power
plant the people of Pripyat City packed up and never
returned. Today Pripyat and the zone around it is a “no-
man’s-land”; a place no human should ever live and visit (if
you must) for only short periods of time. Visitors do come
and are transfixed at this place that once held life but now is
a footnote to a horror that humanity must never repeat.

4. “El Hotel del Salto”[Colombia]

The luxurious Hotel del Salto opened in 1928 to welcom
wealthy travelers visiting the Tequendama Falls area.
Situated just opposite to the waterfall and on the edge of the
cliff, it provided a breathtaking view to its guests. During the
next decades though, Bogotá river was contaminated and
tourists gradually lost their interest to the area. The hotel
finally closed down in the early 90′s and has been left
abandoned ever since. The fact that many people in the pas
chose that spot to commit suicide, made others believe that
the hotel is haunted.

5. Abandoned House [Namib Desert]

Just a few miles from Atlantic is located the ghost city
Kolmanskop. It was abandoned near 60 years ago. It was a
thriving town with a population close to 1,000 people. They
were mostly the contract workers who mined diamonds. Thi
town was full of champagne and other vestiges of the goo
life. Repeated sand storms made it difficult to live here.

6. Abandoned Hospital [Brownsville, Pennsylvania, USA]

The hospital has been closed since 1974.Those waiting fo
surgery or a treatment usually numbered 30 persons per
day. Now there are a lot of tourists who come hear every
year to take a look at the place where their grandma or great
grandma was born.

7. Abandoned Isle [Netherlands]

This abandoned landscape suggests some kind of awe
mixed with fear. You must agree, this photo gives off some
mystical and apocalyptic feelings. This amazing memorial
can be visited by curious travelers and new generations who
want to see the place where their relatives were born.

Wow! FTC! Hope it makes FP so I can dance shoki
BTW Op! Where is National Stadium Surulere?

8. Power Plant Cooling Tower [France]

The plant was abandoned in 1995. The reminder to
townsfolk and visitors alike are the cooling towers;
ghostly sentinels from the past. Visitors are in awe
of the variations of photo genius that can occur –
so many angles and perspectives to enjoy the
geometry of the towers.

9. Abandoned Church Vivary [Russia]

The church is hidden away in the forest. It’s
absolutely impossible to locate it without a person
who knows the area well. People say that a
thousand tourists had been wandering the forest
for hours before they reach the location. A special
mystique is attached to the black halos round the
holy faces. No one can explain this phenomenon.

10. Lee Plaza Hotel [Detroit]

Designed by Charles Noble and built in 1929, the
15 story Lee Plaza represented another fine
example of the Art Deco style that found its way
into architecture during this time. In the early 20th
century it was a fashionable lux hotel for the smart
society. It was added to the National Registry of
Historic Places in 1981 but ceased it operation as
a residential complex for the elderly in 1990. From
lux hotel to a footnote in the history books – it is
still remembered and admired in Detroit.

11. Canteen [Pripyat, Ukraine]

The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is a mysterious and
mystical spot some might say scary. Looking at all
the photos taken in and around Pripyat it’s
impossible not to see the events of that terrible
day when the people had to leave their peaceful life
in what must have seemed like a second. Tourists
always remark that the abandoned school and it’s
canteen are a most dramatic and thoroughly
creepy place.

12. Ghost Town Keelung [Taiwan]

Taiwan is full of abandoned communities. This
fascinating housing complex was built in 1980
when there was a huge building boom going on.
It’s pretty exciting to see such a massive building
in the centre of the town. By the way, this huge
abandoned spot can be viewed from all ground
points in the town.

13. Old Piano Tree [California]

An amazing site! A tree grew through this old
piano and no one knows why it happened or why it
was allowed to occur in this nature spot.

14. The Gothic Theater [Detroit,USA]

The theater was built by C. Howard Crane in 1928.
It is built in a renaissance revival style and
occupied the lower floors of an 18 story building. It
was finally closed in 1974. This is yet another sad
commentary on how Detroit has let its
architectural heritage wither and decay.

15. Abandoned tram station [Sydney,Australia]

The old Sydney Tram Station dates back to the
1930′s but people of that era would be hard
pressed to recognize this hair-raising, graffiti-
covered place today! Sydney residents regularly
organize protests against vandalism and the
historical disrespect for this spot. No one’s sure
what will happen to the station in the years ahead.
In spite of its poor condition visitors are still
welcome to station which is now classified as a
museum of urban arts.
