Title: 38 Abandonded Places on Earth

The pictures are haunting.  They look like a post-zombie apocalypse after the zombies died from lack of human brains.

Fascinating stuff.  The one I personally find creepiest would probably be the Ukranian city of Pripyat, but only barely.

Brings back memories of playing one of the Call of Duty or Medal of Honor fps games.

Looks like the Sarlacc has taken up residence in Eastern Siberia.

It would be so cool to don a radiation suit and prowl through Pripyat. 

I saw an article a while back where this woman took a scooter ride through Chernobyl or somewhere like that and took pictures and then blogged it.  It was very cool and very spooky.

I'll see if I can find it.

Ok, here's the homepage: http://www.kiddofspeed.com/

And here's where the photos actually start.  You have to hang with it; the layout is pretty amateur.
