Killing time?

I don't watch TV so find other places to kill time.

Here's one some of you may be familair with Battle ship Island, Prypiat and Pruitt--Igoe.
Kind of makes yout hink what happens when all the reasons to be someplace have gone.

Uncle NOS,

My old army base is now a Ghost Twon. It was an old asbestos mine the army took over to be closer to the border. The stuff was lying everywhere, kids started getting breathing problems and the new government asked that it be closed down.

I went back for a visit in 2002, place is still there, squash courts , pools everything really eerie. Not a signle sound could be heard theres nothing around for miles.

The old mine building used to be our vehicle repair shop

Cool topic, along the coast in WA state there were a lot of old abandoned ww2 bunkers I would explore as a child.

There's a website that brings some of them back to life and for sale.

I would love to see Chernobyl.

They make Chernobyl look more deserted just to attract tourists, it's now a business!
Yes it was a disaster but now it's an amusement park to make money!

Anything for a buck or ruble these days.

Google "Urban Exploration". I can read for hours about this subject. Some of these guys are pretty ballsy.

I guess Monday I should bring my Camera to work and take some pictures.
I have a real urban exploration for you.

After over 100 years we are closing up ( not because of lack of ore but rather because of politics and stupidity ) production.

Mill is the building at the bottom.
Its a time capsul of the most diabolical milling technology 1960 had to offer.
mill has been closed for years.
The real crown jewel of my picture tour will be the hoist room and some of the shops, the open pit and underground facilities that span more than a man's life ( Frood hoists apear to be in 1930s in my opinion, so old I am not sure ).

Been outside this evening trying to do some star gazing.
I am cold....
Optics were not too good tonight ( temperature changes too fast ).
Then came the clouds.

So I decided to listen to some Philip glass and drink some beer.
Enjoy....
