🏰 Château Secession, an abandoned chateau in France that appears filled with relics. Enigmatic and atmospheric, right? Well, not quite. The collection seems to be a hobbyist's personal trove of cheap props and tat, rather than priceless artefacts. For example, the "cannon" was just a pipe balanced on some old cart wheels. The samurai sword was a cheap plastic child's toy, and the globe was likewise a modern trinket. #Photography #Story #France #Chateau #AbandonedPlaces

🏥The Red Cross Hospital, an abandoned sanatorium in Italy. Located atop a remote hill over 1,000 metres above sea level. In the years before antibiotics, facilities like this were the only treatment for many respiratory diseases. The site closed in the 1980s. Today, metal beds stand in silent dormitories, and trees grow inside the bathrooms. https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/medical/red-cross-hospital-italy/ #Italy #History #Photography #UrbanExploration #AbandonedPlaces #Sanatorium

While up in Whitehorse, I came across this abandoned structure on the top of the Whitehorse escarpment, overlooking the city below, not far from the airport. It has a rich patina of graffiti now, and is being used as a shelter, but I’m curious as to what it was originally used for. The most common theory seems to be that it was an old crematorium, but I’ve seen others claim online that this is false, and that it was used to burn documents by the military. #whitehorse #Abandoned #AbandonedPlaces

An abandoned Soviet-era military engineering school. Abandoned since the early 1990s, when Latvia asserted independence from the USSR. This school was built in the 1960s to train engineers and scientists for the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic Armed Forces. Now, it is an empty relic relegated to history. https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/military/soviet-radio-electronics-school-latvia/ #Latvia #History #AbandonedPlaces #Urbex #Soviet #USSR #Abandoned

Care for a Ride? It's Free It took me forever to find this submission for #spookysaturday but from deep in the archives I present this abandoned ride on Guam. The strangest "amusement" park you've ever seen, a few defunct rides for kids including a haunted cave, an NSFW sculpture garden "Love Land" adults only, and the sketchiest gondola down to a series of waterfalls that I shouldn't have trusted with my life, but did on two occasions. This is Talo'fo'fo Falls - also the home of the Japanese soldier that remained hidden for decades following the end of WWII not knowing the war was over. Maybe one of the most interesting places in the world, tucked away in the jungle while seemingly on the verge of bankruptcy. #abandoned #abandonedplaces #defunct #amusementpark #rides #spooky #scary #guam #talofofofalls #talofofo #history #photography #atmosphere #cellphonephotos #snapseed
