Gunkanjima Island
There’s something fascinating and inherently futurismic about man made environments that subsume the ground on which they were once built. Valletta, Malta is a little like this, and Gunkanjima Island in Japan seems the archetype.

These photos, while fantastic, do the island no justice. If you can find it, get the DVD. It’s simply stunning. Perfect viewing and even more perfect as background at club or party. It retails for approximately USD 40. I am not sure it if its available outside Japan, but if there are those interested, please contact me, I may be able to help ship it.

There are some amazing photos by Japanese photographer Yuji Saiga (and also vids too)
