i wanna visit gunkanjima
i've developed a liking for deserted buildings ever since that block 15 along short street has been hoarded up, awaiting demolishing ( that block just beside the new lasalle, along rochor canal rd?).



but nothing beats Gunkanjima (battleship island), a fortress like island off the western coast of japan. it was a mining island since the 1880s, but has been abandoned in 1974 when the mines shut down. It is called a battleship island coz of its hight sea-walls. so chio! can die.



Saiga Yuji has this excellent collection of photographs on Gunkanjima. mind blowinggggg. do check it out.
