Those are some incredible images. I'd love to take a walking tour of that city... in about 50,000 years.

Y'know, I reckon if they'd tried really hard they could have got some more jet engines on that...!

I don't know about a Pterosaur but it must have had a Godzilla sized carbon footprint!

It's like an Ezquerra building.

I was thinking Belardinelli, particularly from Meltdown Man.

More on the defunct Soviet shuttle, including a video.

Triffids schmiffids. That Trofim Lysenko johnny had his sights set firmly upon the stars.

Those shots are like something ripped right out of a Terran Trade Authority handbook.

Some beautiful photography in this article: [The abandoned buildings of the Eastern bloc/url]

I can't believe that I didn't mention buying this book, which was worth every damn penny.

Cheers!

This made me smile. On balance, I felt that this was more at home here than in the YouTube gold thread:
