There's a wonderful set of photographs of "Abandoned Italian discoteques" over at Slate. I love this stuff. I'd love to visit these places and take my own photos, or do a small gig, or something fun and creative. Unfortunately, these wonderful buildings serve a more "real" purpose today:
I'd love to have some "underground parties" in a space like this... ... or this... The way these ruins can just be abandoned kind-of reminds me of Egypt, where we saw thousands of buildings abandoned or unfinished. They could abandon buildings because the climate was so dry that they wouldn't rot. In BC we can't get away with that; abandoned buildings rot quickly and usually get torn down. Perhaps that's why I like these "modern ruins" so much; we simply can't have them here, so they're particularly exotic to me.

I don't think I'll ever get into scuba diving. I swim poorly and don't really have time to do it better. Nonetheless, I'd love to see some shipwrecks up close. I've loved learning about shipwrecks ever since I learned about the S.S. Beaver in my copy of the 1958 British Columbia Centennial book. But I've never had the opportunity to visit a shipwreck myself. This article has some excellent photos of shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea. |
