    I've been to Rhyolite long ago, before the art appeared. It's very desolate there. The bottle house is very cool. Looks like it's been fixed up.

    The art is trippy.

    Kolmanskop, Namibia
    [​IMG]

    This town was founded in the Namib desert in 1908, after a man found a diamond in the area, but was abandoned in 1954 after resources were exhausted. The homes that were left are now filled with sand—a strange, yet striking, sight to behold.

    Kilchurn Castle, Scotland
    [​IMG]
    This Scottish castle was built in the mid-1400s and housed some of the most powerful people in the country. However, it was abandoned in the 1700s, and is now one of the most photographed castles, because of its striking location.

    I went into a couple of abandoned buildings while I was homeless earlier this year. There was graffiti all over the walls and everything. It was pretty sweet.

    The Floating Forest, Australia
    [​IMG]
    The SS Ayrfield was built in 1911 and retired in 1972 in Homebush Bay, which is west of Sydney and basically a ship graveyard. But it's unique to the other abandoned vessels because it's since sprouted majestic mangrove trees and greenery.

    basically he's a guy in california who fixes up old tv sets and radios, in past yearas he's also gone out to abandoned mining towns in the southwest for the purpose of acquiring old forgoten-about and decrepit electronics for resurrection projects, that the property owners would otherwise have had to pay to dispose of as hazardous waste, and sometimes would stop at abandoned buildings alonmg his road trips including a walkaroud of the abandoned lake dolores water park resort in death valley when there was still some leftover stuff there that had'nt been salvaged or scrapped yet. he also has a second account called "mineesplorations" a.k.a. mine explorers which is his video files of exploring such mining towns and the mines themselves, but not any electronics work though he does sometimes do test and review videos onm various lights, 2-way radios and things in that environment

    over the past couple years or so hes' become an extremely jaded trumphead and open about his hatred for the biden admininstration which limits its appeal to mostly white trumpheads, so the 2021/2022 series is mostly not worth watching unless you fast-forward through the parts when he actually gets the TV or radio working. his anti-american political comments during the "news" reports get incredibly irritating quickly so i've just stopped following him altogether (I get more than enough of that bs from my trump worshipping white-trash coworkers as it is) though his qvc/home shopping club/crepe-erase roasts are good for a few laughsd.

    anyways, that picture looks like somewhere he could have explores in mineexplorations or earlier in his main account and i think he probably did at one opoint or another

    Ta Prohm Temple, Cambodia
    [​IMG]

    This famous temple in Angkor Wat, Cambodia was abandoned after the fall of the empire in the 17th century and—after hundreds of years of neglect—became one with the jungle. Today, the ruins are looked after in order to stabilize and maintain the temple.
