I love decaying ghost towns. The mining town in Namibia is incredible --the town is entirely full of windswept sand now. Some truly epic photographs have come from there. :) Awesome article!

I think Centralia is a super-interesting sounding place. The only problem is, it's really unsafe to visit for the same reasons it's unsafe to live there. As in, 200+ ft deep sinkhole opening up under your feet unsafe (it's happened). Awesome article! I think Centralia is a super-interesting sounding place.

One broad category of abandoned places is that which includes military bases around the world that have been abruptly shut down but left largely "as is." When I got married on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, a few years ago, we were exploring the small island and came upon barracks, abandoned vehicles, and other hardware left over from the US military's use of the island as a testing ground for weapons. It made for an eerie sight. Interesting…
