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.. 20 Unbelievable Animal Camouflage Examples Email Email Animals are masters of disguise, so if you are a beginner wildlife photographer, you may be missing a lot of creatures around you.

Creepy Mansion Is Strangely Abandoned In 1976 And You Are About To See Why... 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.

Heartbreaking Photos of Animals Stuck in Zoos While zoos are a great place to see a large number of animals all in one place, there's a dark side to these family attractions that doesn't often get discussed. On Debate.org , the question, "Should we keep animals in zoos?" splits poll takers down the middle with 42% saying yes, saying its especially beneficial for endangered species, and 58% saying no, that animals need to be free and in the wild. What's your opinion? After seeing this series, called Modern Wilderness , by photographer Daniel Zakharov, one's heart can't help but feel incredibly heavy about these animals' doomed destinies. He goes on, "Nowadays animals are born in captivity, between concrete, tiling, cement-slab buildings and artificial landscapes instead of the endless stretch of nature. Daniel Zakharov's website

Ruinenland Mergelgruben Zur Galerie Bereits vor 2000 Jahren wurde hier im Tagebau Mergelgestein abgetragen, ab dem 15. Jahrhundert zum Bau von Häusern und Kirchen auch untertage. So entstand ein verzweigtes Gangsystem von mehreren hundert Kilometern, das sich in 10 bis 30 Metern Tiefe durch den Berg zieht, davon alleine rund 300 Km auf belgischer Seite. Noch heute ist der Zugang stellenweise möglich, wenn auch alles andere als ungefährlich. Bewaffnet mit Getränken, Taschenlampen und einem Batterie-Vorrat, der mehrere Tage ausgereicht hätte, stiegen wir bei sonnigen 26°C den Berg hinauf und begaben uns auf die Suche nach der ersten Grube. Wir wollten die Höhle gerade wieder verlassen, als sich von außen Stimmen näherten. Die dritte Mergelgrube hat gleich mehrere offene Eingänge; einen mit steilem Pfad im Osten und einen weiteren mit leichtem Weg im Südosten des Berges. Am Eingangsportal trafen wir einen ortsansässigen Mann, der mit seinem Hund den Abhang hinaufgestiegen war.

A 102-Year-Old Transport Ship Sprouts a Floating Forest Bruce Hood Bruce Hood Andy Brill Stephane & Eva Homebush Bay in Sydney, Australia is home to the remnants of a ship-breaking yard that operated during the mid 20th-century. One such ship was the SS Ayrfield, a 1,140-tonne behemoth built in 1911 as a steam collier that was later used during WWII as a transport ship. From 2008-2010 a concerted effort was made to remove many of the lingering chemicals in Homebush left from the industrial era. A huge thanks to Bruce Hood, Andy Brill and Stephane & Eva for providing photos for this post.
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.
Rare Cloud Formations You Haven’t Seen Before EmailEmail We see clouds almost every day, yet we haven’t seen most of them in our lives. These beautiful masses of droplets may seem random, however there’s a whole cloud classification system uniform worldwide that was introduced back 1802 by Luke Howard. Howard named the three principal categories of clouds – cumulus, stratus, and cirrus, as well as a series of intermediate and compound modifications, such as cirrostratus and stratocumulus, in order to accommodate the transitions occurring between the forms. He also identified the importance of clouds in meteorology: “Clouds are subject to certain distinct modifications, produced by the general causes which affect all the variations of the atmosphere; they are commonly as good visible indicators of the operation of these causes, as is the countenance of the state of a person’s mind or body.” Here’s a selection of some of the most impressive cloud formations ever captured – have you ever seen any similar ones yourself?
