Sub-Urban - Urban Underground Exploration [daily dose of imagery] exploration urbaine - sanatorium du vexin Construit en 1930. Premier bâtiment fermé en 1980, le second en 2001. Squatté, pulvérisé, vandalisé, explosé, atomisé, retourné, défoncé, taggé, paint-ball massacré depuis. Sanatorium : du bas latin sanatorius signifiant "propre à guérir". Mot anglais en première utilisation dans le sens "station de plein air". Établissement médical dédié aux enfants scrofuleux, rachitiques et lymphatiques. Si le concept de sanatoriums semble quelque peu désuet, ils ont été construits en masse au début des années 1900 dans des régions isolées de la pollution afin de faire bénéficier leurs patients des vertus du grand air et du soleil. Le sanatorium du Vexin est un bel exemple de l’architecture des années 30, faite de béton brut et de surfaces dépouillées. Bien que les lieux soient vides et aient été gravement vandalisés, une balade à l’intérieur vous offre la possibilité de comprendre le quotidien de ces malades d’un autre siècle.
urban exploring :: Home QC: New Comics Every Monday Through Friday Shanghai tunnels In 1990, area businessman Bill Naito was quoted in The Oregonian as saying that the tunnels are underneath "Northwest Couch, Davis and Everett streets."[1] Historians have stated that although the tunnels exist and the practice of Shanghaiing was sometimes practiced in Portland and elsewhere, there is no evidence that the tunnels were used for this (and no evidence for Portland being a center for this kind of practice).[2] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Cascade Geographic Society, offers tours of the basements near the tunnels. Coordinates: Trip to Chernobyl Zone 27th May 2007 This trip to the alienated Zone of the Chernobyl atomic power station was much more interesting than last year. We left early so that we would have more time. As to the risk (as many ask) I will say the following: the background level in the Zone is not a big danger (except for several places where one would not think of going). The intenisty of the exposure dose of radiation at 10 km from site is not high. The dose received by us for a day is comparable to what would be received on one transatlantic flight. Having left Kiev at 7:30am by minibus with air conditioning (hurrah!) We then went to a viewing place called "Shelter". Pripyat—a phantom city—is not present on maps anymore, a city about which many people will know nothing, a city which will reduce to ruins over the years but which for the people who were involved it is important and will always be remembered. We found a strongly radiation infected ladle-capture.
Seattle Underground An image of the "Seattle Underground"— the facade seen here was at street level in the mid-1800s The Seattle Underground is a network of underground passageways and basements in downtown Seattle, Washington, United States that was ground level at the city's origin in the mid-19th century. After the streets were elevated these spaces fell into disuse, but have become a tourist attraction in recent decades. History[edit] Start of the Great Seattle Fire, looking south on 1st Ave. near Madison St. Seattle's first buildings were wooden. Brick arches provide the ceiling for the underground corridors and support the hollow street sidewalks For the regrade, the streets were lined with concrete walls that formed narrow alleyways between the walls and the buildings on both sides of the street, with a wide "alley" where the street was. The concrete floor of the former meat market was originally at the level of the wooden platform on the left, but sank over time because of decomposing sawdust fill.

Prypeć - Miasto Duchów (Czarnobyl - strefa zamknięta) Maj 2005 - po prawie rocznych planach i przygotowaniach w końcu udało nam się osiągnąć cel dla Opuszczonych najważniejszy. Odwiedziliśmy sanktuarium Opuszczonego i zapomnianego świata. Było nas czterech, każdy z nieco innym nastawieniem - oczekiwaniem. Każdy z dozą niepewności i ryzyka - co nam odbiło żeby pchać się tam gdzie skąd każdy normalny człowiek by uciekał. Pasja.
