Time is the great equalizer, and as the world has advanced and science progressed, many great structures and institutions have dwindled or fallen. From industrial relics, giant skyscrapers and grand mansions left unfinished or unwanted, to abandoned religious, financial and urban structures , the changing nature of our time has given rise to an alternative urban landscape where the forgotten and the modern coexist. These five fascinating pillars of the abandoned world represent just a select few of those institutions. Originally named Chateau Miranda , this abandoned mansion was reportedly designed in 1866 by an English architect and resembles the setting of a gothic horror film. Once the grand residence of an affluent family, Chateau de Noisy was allegedly occupied by the Nazis during World War Two before becoming an orphanage.
Completed in 1924, this grand church was built to replace a temporary structure that had served St. Walk through "Your Rainbow Panorama" in Denmark.

This artistic work stands over 50 meters above the street level and 3.5 meters above the renovated roof area, it is also available for recreational purposes with a spectacular city view, all interested can reach both roof terrace and panorama via stairs and elevators.

New York City's Hidden Subway Station. Deep in the belly of New York’s subway system, a beautiful untouched station resides that has been forgotten for years with only a limited few knowing of its existence. Stunning decoration with tall tiled arches, brass fixtures and skylights run across the entire curve of the station, almost a miniature imitation of Grand Central Station… But it sounds like something straight out of Harry Potter, right? It was opened in 1904, with the hope of making it the crowning glory of the New York subway system in elegant architecture and a place for commemorative plaques to honour the work that had resulted in such a successful underground mass transit system.
It was to be the original southern terminus of the first ‘Manhattan Main Line’; however the station was closed and boarded up in 1945. The reason for its closure was that newer longer cars were required to match the demand of passengers that passed through the system. The world's best secret islands.

100 little things that travel has taught me. Travel has been one of my most valuable teachers. Rather than sit in a classroom and learn about the world through a someone else’s eyes, I did it through adventures and misadventures, tears and laughter. I know I still have so much to discover, but here are some lessons that sometimes I had to learn the hard way. Some of them I already kinda knew, some I are silly, some are serious, some are obvious, and some are embarrassing. Maybe this collection will help open up new doors in your own life and own travels, and although we will all learn our own lessons, I hope maybe I will help someone avoid some of my mistakes (example: #14). 1. 21. 28. 43. 60. 80. 95.

Live music rocks hardest in the open air, sonically speaking. “Outdoors there’s nothing for sound to bounce off of,” says Gary Ford, a live-sound reinforcer. When they’re inside arenas and stadiums, sound waves hit various surfaces—roofs, bleachers, concrete floors, and so on—and get deflected or absorbed. “Sound-wise, it’s easier,” says Mark Carlson, CEO of Sasquatch’s other sonic supervisor, Carlson Audio Systems. 10 of the best budget hotels in New York.
