[Photography] The deserted island: Hashima/Gunkanjima (Japan)

A island previously known for coal mines, which was closed after 1974. With all its resident leaving, it has created something spooky. Kind of a ghost island, which leaves dark but beautiful pictures in my opinion. The photos down below show how the island looks now, you can even visit it!

Gunkanjima means battleship island, in the pictures below you can see why it is called like that.

Wow @randomstmitnews, that looks so cool. Especially the last picture with clear water and the one with person on the roof taking a photo. Great work and interesting story.

I know right! I saw it on a television show not to long ago and had to share it!
I believe it is pretty unknown, but its disgustingly cool

It is great that you decided to share it. I will resteem this post to keep it close in my blog.
