I came across a fascinating collection of photos of abandoned places on a website called Unique Scoop. The list includes Kowloon Walled City (below), a coal mining island in Japan an abandoned vacation resort in Taiwan, a coal mining island in Japan, a housing project for Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers, a town in Pennsylvania where fires burnt underground throughout the 1960s and 70s, and lots more. The pictures are amazing.

Thank you so much for the website recommendation -- it is quite sad to see these abandoned places. I wonder one day in the far far future if the entire Earth will look like some of these sites....
