Gukanjima is an island near the westernmost shore of Japan.

It is an island built upon a reef in the early 19th century because of a coal mine in the reefs and quickly became a densely populated island 1 km in diameter and 5300 people living packed together, working the mines. 

Someone posted about Gunkanjima a while back, this site has more photos I think:

GODDAMNIT 3000euros per print

sigh. So much for being able to appreciate something nice in my own home. 

This is what the doom3 engine would do to a nice house:

At least it's shiny. 

Dunno if this has been linked before, but I found it in the latest Rue Morgue mag -- wicked stuff:

This appears to be one giant crane being dismantled by other giant cranes: http://www.varvshistoria.se/kranens-webbsida/bilder.htm

And then at the end, they put it on a big boat, like these:

I like how pieces of the Kockums crane are delivered by the Fagioli trucks. 

the big boat in that first series IS pictured a few times in the second one - you can see the name Mighty Servant 3 on both. 

Wow. 

There is some serious crane-fetishism going on on func... /me saves all the images. 

That's my hometown where the Kockums crane used to be ...

Brilliant idea. 

that is really cool.

Now to edit them out to get some good concrete textures :) 

Reminds me pleasantly of The Neverhood.
