Deserted Hospitals

When you think of a hospital you usually get two feelings. The first one is that you wish to go there as rare as possible, and the other thing is you imagine that hospitals are clean and tidy, like they should be. Now this is not always true, sadly, because in some cases the hospitals are insanitary (mostly in third world countries), as a hip-hop band said about Romania "Others have cleaner streets than we have hospitals" - rough translation. 

But this post, like this whole blog, is not about badly administered things, but about places that are not administered at all. So here are some photos of derelict hospitals .. look at the bright side, there are no doctors in these!

Wall able abandonment - Collection of 15 free wallpapers of the forgotten

Suddenly I realized people love wallpapers, especially me. So I made a collection of 15 desktop wallpapers relevant to this blog, that I personally love. Sizes go from 1024x768 to 3269x2128, pretty decent I`d say.

H.I.A.T Wallpaper

Someone made this thing for the blog, it`s kinda nice, don`t know exactly what it means but I suppose it would be an urbex explorer that definitely tries to explore the unexplorable. So, if there are any H.I.A.T fans out there, you can use this as a wallpaper.

Also this guy has some photoshop skills, if you need them ask for his contact by sending us an e-mail.

Zombie Playgrounds

While randomly surfing on the innets, looking for anything that catches the eye, I came across a nice MMO, with zombies! So that's when I realized that zombies love abandoned places, it`s their home actually. And who is building homes for zombies? We are, of course!

Now moving on and leaving the jokes about the undead behind, you really should see, I mean really see, what we leave behind, while trying to get a new life, a new environment, the old environment becomes history and we let nature do everything.

But beware, after leaving these places, there is no coming back. Remember, there`s zombies living there now! Oh, and graffiti artists wondering about, but they`re the good guys.

Unlivable environment is alive

I just received received two photos from someone who cares about Giurgiu. It pictures an environment that was originally meant for families, by the ex communist leader. Well what happened is he died and these two buildings were never quite finished. But that was no problem for the homeless, so they moved in. Some of them are living here for over 2 decades. And I have to say, they sure love TV!

The decay of winter

Just a fine piece of photography I found randomly surfing the net. It`s really expressive, so I thought it deserves to be the first photo on my blog in 2011.

Detroit City Winter Special

Can`t say I don`t feel the season, I do. But because I don`t want to fill the blog with candles, lights, reindeer and such like so many do in this season, I will do something else, which is presenting you a winter version of decay from .. Detroit, our favorite abandoned living city.
Enjoy!

Abandoned Smallpox Hospital, Roosevelt Island, New York

This institution was opened in 1856 to care for New York City's unfortunate and destitute. The island sits between Queens and Manhattan, and was easily accessible by ferry; it was home to a prison, insane asylum, and other similar facilities. As of 1872, an annual number of 7,000 patients were treated, with an average of 450 deaths. Was abandoned in the 50s.

Creepy Abandoned Amusement Parks

It`s one thing to see abandoned common buildings where people used to live or industrial sites where people used to work, and another thing to see wastelands where families used to go relax and have fun, where kids used to play and enjoy. Now these places look like zombielands! Look at the bright side, tickets are free ..

Urban Photography

Any person sees the world from his own point of view, sometimes this fact is a benefit for human kind. As an example, these gorgeous photos that artists created from their own point of view. And sometimes reality just can`t create beauty so we have to manipulate it, that`s how these photos were transformed into art.
