Chernobyl. I know, I know, it's looks alot like what you see in HL2, but it's one place I'd like to tour one day. Some of the pics of Pripyat and the amusement parks there are simple some of the coolest I've ever seen.

I'm fascinated by creepy, abandoned places, and used to snoop around old factories, houses and warehouses when I was younger and didn't mind going ninja into places.

Yes urban exploration is some of the coolest shit ever. Especially where I live there are TONS of abandoned buildings to snoop around in. Two of my friends are extremely all about photography in abandoned places so when I find his flickr account ill post some of the stuff we've ventured.

btw this thread is awesome.

I was going to post something about abandoned houses in Russia, but realized Rico had already posted englishrussia.com.

Good idea, Val. Great pics all around.

Some brilliant building there, pic 31 on 2nd link caught my eye
How good does this pumping station look? They do't make 'em like that anymore. I think it's Victorian.

I'm starting to grow tired of urban ruin type terrains.

Why not learn from people who do architecture professionally?

Great blog: http://www.archdaily.com/

You can learn a lot about placing simpler shapes, walls, etc., thinking about lighting and proportions.
