Skyddsrummet mitt i stan Skyddsrummet mitt i stan Ibland förvånas man över att lämningar från andra världskriget mitt i stan klarat sig helt från sprayburkar, sopor eller förstörelse. Eller för den delen sanering. Bergrummet ligger i en kulle mitt bland folk. I anläggningen finns det även ett valv. Således borde det varit företagens värdepaper, ritningar, räkenskaper mm som skulle låstas in här. Valvet tak har droppskydd för att skydda mot väta. I en av gångarna finns toaletten kvar. Handvevad ventilation. Decay när det är som bäst. Ytterligare ett rum i skyddsrummet visar att det använts för mer än personalskydd. som vanligt är alla bilder tagna i komplett mörker.. Kerry Way The Kerry Way (Irish: Slí Uíbh Ráthaigh)[2] is a long-distance trail in County Kerry, Ireland. It is a 214-kilometre (133-mile) long circular trail that begins and ends in Killarney. It is typically completed in nine days.[1] It is designated as a National Waymarked Trail by the National Trails Office of the Irish Sports Council and is managed by Kerry County Council, South Kerry Development Partnership and the Kerry Way Committee. The Way circles the Iveragh Peninsula and forms a walkers' version of the Ring of Kerry road tour. History[edit] A review of the National Waymarked Trails in 2010 found the Kerry Way to be one of the most heavily used of the trails. The name in Irish is Slí Uíbh Ráthaigh, meaning the Iveragh Way, called after the Iveragh Peninsula. Route[edit] The trail originally started at the River Flesk, 1 kilometre (1 mile) from Killarney, but has since been extended to start in the centre of Killarney.

Off-the-Grid Hotel du Jour: Aire de Bardenas Some hotels are just a little different from the rest.

Built in the thirties, this spectacular mansion definitely saw its share of grandiose affairs in its day, but sadly, its been abandoned since the seventies. Located just outside of New York City, the home is like a time capsule for a much more glamorous era — but it also happens to be full of creepy old relics as well. Photographer Bryan Sansivero decided to document the mansion as it is now, and what he found inside is pretty haunting. It’s also an incredible property, complete with a bowling alley, indoor tennis court, library, and two bars. See the abandoned mansion in all of its spooky glory below. The mansion has 57 rooms, and looks like something out of a horror movie. In every room, traces of the mansion’s opulent history remain. But there are also traces of it’s complete and total creepiness. Despite the ominous feel of the photographs, the spooky details are really just evidence of the family that used to live there.

Maunsell Forts The Maunsell Forts were small fortified towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named after their designer, Guy Maunsell.[1] The forts were decommissioned in the late 1950s and later used for other activities. One of the forts is managed by the unrecognised Principality of Sealand; boats visit the remaining forts occasionally, and a consortium called Project Redsands is planning to conserve the fort situated at Redsand.

African Lake turned pink by high levels of salt And just like the Dead Sea, swimmers can float on its surface Boats float on what looks like a giant strawberry milkshake lake. The vessels were bobbing on Lake Retba in Senegal, which turns a bizarre pinkish colour due to bacteria and high levels of salt in the water. Just like the Dead Sea, swimmers can float on its surface. Barcroft Michael Danson, professor of Biochemistry at Bath University, reportedly said: "The strawberry colour is produced by salt-loving organism Dunaliella salina. "They produce a red pigment that absorbs and uses the energy of sunlight to create more energy, turning the water pink. "Lakes like Retba and the Dead Sea, which have high salt concentrations, were once thought to be incompatible with life - hence the names.
27 Breathtaking Record Stores You Have To Shop At Before You Die Här är unika bilderna inifrån lyxbåten Costa Concordia. | Newsner När skrytbygget Costa Concordia togs i tjänst 2006 var fartyget det största italienskbyggda skeppet i världen. Men fartygets historia blev kort. Sent på kvällen den 13 januari 2012 gick hon på grund vid ön Giglio utanför Toscana, med totalt 4 234 personer ombord. 32 av dem omkom. Kaptenen Francesco Schettino blev ökänd som ”Kapten Ynkrygg” och dömdes till 16 års fängelse för att ha orsakat olyckan och för flera fall av vållande till annans död. Så här 4 år efter katastrofen arbetar 200 personer med att montera ned det gigantiska fartyget. Resultatet är minst sagt fängslande och jag kunde inte låta bli att dela med mig av dessa unika bilder. Sent på fredagkvällen den 13 januari 2012 gick Costa Concordia på grund. Wikipedia/Rvongher Numera ligger det spöklika vraket utanför den italienska hamnstaden Genua. Ena sidan av fartyget låg under havsvattnet i 20 månader, vilket fått ena delen av fartyget att bli brunt och rostigt. Men när han väl steg ombord fick han se saker som få tidigare sett.
Casa Clementina, outside of time | Italian Ways Casa Clementina, in Rome, is a design-lovers’ bar where you can drink, eat and listen to music. It is in via Clementina 9, between the Caelian and the Esquiline Hill, in Rione Monti. The lower part of this neighborhood was once called Suburra, a name derived perhaps from the Latin ‘suburbia’. The word originally meant “place outside the city” (and indeed this area used to be outside of the capital) – only later did it become the eponym of the ill-famed areas in every metropolis. Today Monti is part of the center of Rome, and as quiet locals and curious tourists roam the streets, Suburra remains only as a toponym from the past. Sit down for some tea or an infusion, sip wine, try an aperitif or give in to cakes and cookies.
