The tall building in #19 Mich. Central Detroit is not only abandoned but has never been occupied, not for a minute, never a floor polished, never a light turned on. The ultimate bad plan, bad timing, bad investment!

#26 Abandoned city of Keelung, Taiwan
I believe is from : http://www.flickr.com/photos/21180236@N03/5687386215/.
You can find its location at Google Maps: http://goo.gl/maps/RtVY8 This site is an abandoned developed community and is already demolished, no longer there. The site is located at one of the wettest spot at Taiwan. No wonder the nature can overtake it.

#28 North Brother Island near New York City, New York is pretty amazing. And only a few hours away from my house. I’d love to find out if it’s accessible, and go up there to poke around. A lot of these places in the US are gated and boarded up to keep people out. I’ve been to many abandoned properties in Ct, and they usually involve climbing fences and ignoring “do not enter” signs. :)

And now I want to know why some of these places were abandoned in the first place. Some, like Pripyat, are obvious, but what about the rest?

#30 is so beautiful, but so very creepy too. Looks like it should be haunted and/or used in some kind of horror movie. I’d totally love to go there someday though…

Angkor Wat shouldnt be included unless you include all other similar archeological sites (Macchu Piccu, Roman cities, Egypt temples etc)… I think hanting is more appropriate for many than beautiful … can be improved by geolocating the images … i think #25 is actially a UFO, no?.
