North Brother Island is an amazing apocalyptic snapshot, and its closure and abandonment is well within living memory. With shows like Life After People, I get curious about actual abandoned locations. Dependent on environment, each of these abandoned locations give us a different view of a post-apocalyptic future. In this case these images give us […]

Time for a few more snapshots of the apocalypse. A view of life after the bulk of humanity has moved out or moved on. Hashima Island, commonly called Gunkanjima (meaning Battleship Island), is an abandoned island lying about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the city of Nagasaki, in southern Japan. It is one of 505 […]

Time for some new apocalyptic snap shots. The brief description below came from Wikipedia.org.

According to Zhang Peng the unfinished buildings and vacant streets in Xiangluo Bay. […]

I just finished watching a film that impressed me with its views of what a future depleted of humans might look like. In a previous article I shared some images of Detroit and what the desolation of that once great city looks like. This time around I want to share some images of Pripyat and […]

I love taking a glimpse into the possible apocalypse.  We find ourselves surrounded by cities that seem eternal, and populated regions that appear as though they will always continue to expand and grow.  What does it look like when the world we’ve built crumbles around us?  I want to draw your attention to a real […]
