After I posted a video on friday about the city of Pripyat, built in 1970 for the workers at Chernobyl's nuclear power plant, a reader by the name of Mark left a comment with a link to a photo-essay from his visit there last year.
You get a real feel for the place from his essay and there are lots of haunting photos which is well worth checking out. Chernobyl: 20 years later. Thanks Mark.

Eastern Kentucky Grave House
Eastern Kentucky Grave House. As a hobby, I roam the hills of Eastern Kentucky in search of Waterfalls, local legends, interesting things, and to meet new people. On one of my backroads treks, I found an old abandoned cemetery on the Wolfe and Lee County line ... with the last known burial being that of a Union Civil War Veteran. (through the Kentucky History Center, I was able to get copies of his War Record) Behind this fellows grave were two “gravehouses” made of four large cut stone slabs, which had wooden roofs covered with tin. One of these had lost it’s roof. Behind these were what looked like the foundations for a couple of more gravehouses.

Sleepy City is a photography site documenting the little secrets lurking with the urban environment. Underground tunnels, derelict industrial sites and urban ruins are where I like to play. Discarded by society, these forgotten nooks and crannies wait quietly for the occasional urban explorer. Grab a torch and have a wander; you might be surprised how little of your city you have ever appreciated.


Grave Addiction. This site contains photos I have taken at all of the cemeteries, haunted places, abandoned buildings, and historical parks that I have visited.

You tend to find once these places have been on the net they usually step up the security a little.

You'll just have to find a new old place if you know what I mean. :)

Aye it's certainly interesting.
There have been a few posts of stuff like that on my photoblog but I've usually been on my own and it can be dangerous on your own.

I've got a few friends who do this kind of thing regularly so I'm thinking of tagging along with them when time allows.
