the 'asylum' really frighten me !!!! it was not good to be a madboy lol

thanks ive added it it my favourits on the puter i love old buildings

If we all start looking at this site his hit rate will go through the roof.  I bet he will wonder what's happened.

bookmarked.
I also like his webdesign a lot. Simple, but elegant.

Thanks for sharing.

May I add this next site of a speleology organisation? Often not the real "art" photographs, but seen the circumstances... Comments are in English, français and nederlands.

If anyone knows another spectacular site...perhaps it would be a good idea to have a sticky with these links. A kind of member's favourites.

One of my favorite sites. The Boatyard and the Aresenal are something else. I used to visit a similar site years ago but have since lost the URL. It showed parts of New York that were abandoned or about to be torn down. There was also an abandoned amusment park, very eerie. Thanks for sharing Fred. Things like this inspired me to visit Georgia's Dungeoness ruins. Here is more: http://www.modern-ruins.com/ http://www.xydexx.com/modernruins/ http://www.hoursofdarkness.com/Modern_Ruins_Photography.htm http://bluewyverntea.blogspot.com/2006/09/aesthetics-of-decay.html

Here are some more site you may find of interest.  The first is the London Underground

Second is mainly "Cold War" bunkers etc.   All very interesting but also very ilegal to enter without the proper permissions. 
 

This is another 'urban explorer' site that I love, the photgraphy isn't good, but the places are interesting.

Especially as I worked for near enough twenty years at one of the sites he explores, interesting to compare his guesses versus what I knew went on there!

WOW Kort, It looks like if we all get into this another new category will have to be created, Ruins 8~)

I love the asylum shots!! I'm fascinated by stuff like that. It makes me want to look for some places to go to explore and photograph around here. :) I don't even know if there are any in Northern California. I'll have to look through the rest when I have time. 

Awsome thread, too. :)

Hopefully get to visit Centralia,  Pennsylvania, someday soon (and bring the gas mask!) also included is a link to abandoned amusement parks
